Hello

I'm looking to replace my bathroom suite. I've read a few posts stating it's not worth it to buy a really cheap suite, but i should stick to branded suites. Any suggestions on where to buy? Not sure if i should buy it myself and then arrange a plumber to fit, or to source it through a plumber?

Thanks!

    Good afternoon: Source the sanitaryware etc yourself but if you are using a plumber for the install consult with him/her about the suitability/quality of your choices...brand names are the way to go. You can find a plumber here

    The two makes you mention are very good. Try Grahams for prices.
