Value bathroom suite recommendations

Options
I'm faced with having to get in a new bathroom suite(bath, sink + toilet) and am looking for some advice.
Firstly, the room itself is on the small side and I am also looking for value rather than luxury. So can anybody offer some recommendations?
Also, who if anyone provides the option of fitting included?
If using an independent plumber what kind fees can I expect(obviously only expecting a ballpark figure here)

    We bought our suite from an eBay trader. Mainly because we wanted a 1500mm long bath instead of the standard 1700 and the options were much better/cheaper than B & Q etc. Can't help with the fitting costs as OH did the lot himself!
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.

    I love ebay, but just remember that sending stuff back can be costly and time consuming if you are paying someone to fit it.
