Where is the best place to get a new loo and shower, at a bargain price?

nrog52

We're going to have a downstairs cloakroom (why are they called that?? it's a loo for goodness sake!) and a shower built in our current house to try and stop the wear on the stair carpet and me (3 little girls to toilet and/or nappy change).
We just need something basic and work starts in 3 weeks, started looking for something online but I'm not sure which companies are reliable etc.
Ideally we wont the whole lot for under £400, can it be done?

toilet
basin
shower
enclosure
tray
taps
Really appreciate any advice
thanks

Try B&Q they have some fantastic deals on their bathroom kits which include toilet, basen tapes and all fittings.

Have a look at Screwfix too.
It's also worth looking in Yellow pages and phoning around bathroom suppliers and builder's merchants to see if there are any deals on.

Have you tried Focus? They always have great deals on bathrooms.
Or Wickes.

Online there is Plumbworld.net ( ithink thats the right URL).

Maybe you have a local plumbers merchants. There always worth having a trip to.

I really think you will be lucky to get that list for under £400. You certainly won't get a decent shower enclosure at that price. The suggestions you have been given for sourcing the materials are all reasonable, but IMHO, your budget isn't.
I am also wary (and you should be too) of saying you will get it all for under £400 and the work is starting in 3 weeks.
Is there any tiling involved?

Hi,

Have you looked on Ebay? Were doing our bathroom at the mo and seen a Quadrant shower cubicle in chrome,inc shower tray and waste for £179.99!!

Just put 'quadrant enclosure' into ebays search box.

Ive also seen a complete suite on ther for £315...toilet, sink and shower...we think thats a brill deal!

Thanks for all the ideas.
when i said i'd like it for £400, i just meant i'd like a bargain!! we can run to more, and the building work is not included in that .
bobproperty could you explain why you'd be wary, i'm not sure i get your drift at the moment.
thanks naomi

Cloakroom suite set £150 ish
Shower, what sort? Electric - Decent one at least £120-£150 Mixer - Try ALDI (believe it or not)
Shower Enclosure and Tray - that's the problem. I've been trying to find the posts on another forum but a lot of the cheaper cubicles are cheap for a reason, they aren't that well made and they can be a pig to fit.

dearest is not always the best bought kermi never again,also sanderson tray acrylic never again delaminating.so the old saying you get what you pay for is no longer true.
