in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
I've decided that the new taps that I got as a bargain from ebay have made the accessories in my en suite and main bathroom look shabby so need new ones... Does anyone know where I can get decent quality, at reasonalbe prices.

I need 2 towel rails,
3 shelves
toothbrush holder
soap dish
2 towel rings

all in chrome or silver.

Problems I'm having on ebay is getting everything to match so I guess I'm going to have to pay more ...

    Depends so much on the style you are looking for and what you want to pay. Try Tesco Extra store or IKEA as a start.

    Cheap accessories are cheap for a reason, they are normally chrome plated mild steel, and if they last a year you've done well.

    Pay the extra and get some non Ferrous accesories or even Stainless Steel.

    Miller are a good quality but at sensible prices.:-

    We got some nice ones from Marks & Spencer. Not the cheapest, but certainly not the dearest, and they look good.
    Some people get so rich they lose all respect for humanity.
    That's how rich I want to be. ;)

    But until then - best wishes - Mike.

    We spent weeks searching. Found what we liked in John Lewis for reasonable price. But it's all down to personal preference.

    What I'm really looking for is decent quality that will last and make the en suite look a bit luxurious... so ikea and argos don't quite hack it. Good ideas thought thanks all.

    good quality, good guarantees and excellent customer service.
    Available from all merchants and maybe some sheds (probably as own brand - not sure on the guarantees with that though)

    Try here. I bought from them a couple of weeks ago and I'm very pleased with the results.
