    There have been a couple of champagne ones on my local Freecycle over the past year, so surely worth a shot.

    As Ormas said, try the recycling centre....... when I had a similar disaster I found a fantastic replacement for £10! believe me it is well worth a visit as most of them have a big selection :o

    Thanks for the advice, but where do I find freecycle?

    its a warning to all others though? install a white suite!
    house buyers love white too!
    they hate colored suites of any kind.

    Must admit that I personally prefer white suites because you can completely revamp the bathroom around them.

    However, OH and I were discussing this and are convinced that soon coloured suites will have to make a comeback because white has been THE colour for bathrooms for quite a while now and so surely sales of bathroom suites will decline.

    aye, for about 150 yrs now.
    and theres a really good reason for it.
    99% of peeps prefer a white suite.

    sure the marketing wizz kids will try again wif colored suites. and just as sure as eggs is eggs, they will fail again.

    I hate coloured suites, I'm ripping out a grey suite to replace with white at the moment, whoever fitted it in the first place needs locking up!

    As mentioned above, I do prefer white suites, but the suite we had in situ was a very good quality one, just happened to be champagne in colour!!

    Perhaps we are all too fussy nowadays, I remember as a child my best friend not even having a bathroom - they had to put a tin bath on the living room floor and fill it up!!!
