    We got our plain white suite from B&Q for £199. You may need to go to a superstore though. We have to in nearby Coventry and one is a franchise and the other (the superstore) is cheaper.

    I haven't been there for a month or so, but they had it then. It's not on the website so I cannot help anymore.

    I got this from Screwfix a few weeks ago - excellent for £185.

  • Focus have one for £189.00 although may not be to everyone's taste, however my friend has it and has been more than happy with it.

    I've got the Screwfix one as well & it's been fine. Price includes taps, waste, bath panel (long side only); the bath is steel, so doesn't flex, it's a dual-flush loo, so good for water saving.
    If I have a criticism, it's just that the bath has no handgrips, but hey, for that price, with free delivery????
  • Go to a Plumbers merchant and pay cash.

    There you will get a'Trojan' 8mm thick bath with grips for around £99. Most are only 5mm thick.

    'Leico' washbasin and pedistal around £40

    'Leico' toilet about £80.00

    £30 for taps and a seat.

    Or....a complete 'Armitage Shanks Sandringham' Suite for around £250

    i did wonder if i mixed & matched would the colours be ok, i know it's all white, but there's shades of white and even being the slightest bit of i think you'd notice in such a small room, is there like a bathroom standard white that evey loo in the whole world conforms to?
