I need bathroom accessories
inneed
Posts: 403 Forumite
Does anyone know of somewhere that sells decent bathroom accessories (mirror, loo roll holder, and shelving or corner basket to go in the shower)?
We are having a new bathroom suite fitted, but the shower basket we liked is £129. We want something that won't rust, so a bit better than the usual diy shops, but just can't warrant that sort of money.
We are in the Warwickshire area.
Thanks folks.

These look like nice quality @ £2.99 each at Aldi:

Inneed when I hadmine done last year I bought some from Argos and they were £25 for the complete set.
But when I opened the box I felt let down as they looked very shabby.
So I took them back and changed them for a set that was £50.
I know it's more money but they look really effective.
Cheap fittings in a bathroom really show so buy the most expensive you can afford as you'll be stuck with them for the next 10 years or so.
These are the ones I got but the picture's not very good.....

Yes - I agree, Barneysmom. I do want decent fittings. I don't want to be replacing them in a year or so, and I think the fittings make a cheaper bathroom look more expensive. I wondered if anyone had used John Lewis, Marks or Next ones?
I'm having a charcoal amtico floor and off white, textured tiles with small grey flecks in. Inside the shower will be fully tiled, but the other walls will just be half tiled, so I'm currently looking for emulsion to go with it. I'm having a really unusual circular tap, so want a circular mirror, and think chrome fittings will be best.Always look on the bright side of life ....la la la la la la la la0 -
I got my circular mirror from Ikea, I think it was tenner
It is slightly off the wall by a few mm so any water that goes behind it dries out pretty quickly.
This is when it was nearly complete, bear with me I'm not very good at pictures........

TK maxx is good for bathroom stuff, as is Next and some of the supermarkets sometimes have some ok stuff.
Mines a mixture of all of these.Illegitimi non carborundum.0
