Cheap bathroom fittings

downshifter

I want to buy an overbath shower, new tub and a loo. I really need the cheapest possible with a view to replacing in a few more years when things are a bit more 'straight'. There will be tiling etc to do but think we can manage that ourselves. Really not sure where to start with this.

B and Q seem to have some offers, eg a Triton shower which looks adequate but wonder if anyone can suggest alternatives. As the shower is over the bath, does the tub have to be made of anything particularly extra-strong if there are hefty teenagers leaping in and out of it?

All will be replacing like for like, however as there's a risk all sorts of nasty things might be going on underneath due to previous leaks, there will possibly be some plastering, floorboard replacing and fiddling about work to be done. This is why I want to employ a plumber/builder/electrician to do the actual work.

In addition to buying the fittings, can anyone give a rough idea how much it would cost for a professional to fit them? Obviously any additional 'fiddling about' would be extra if needed so we will keep a contingency for that. Yorkshire area.

Oh and any other thoughts on this please, I'm hoping it will be straightforward but am only just starting out in my research for this so probably won't be but we just need it to be clean and usable!

Thanks

You mean changing your existing bath tube to a bath shower mixer tap?
Or do you mean you need electric shower?

You can get bath shower mixer tap dirt cheap from ebay/ amazon, but it only worth if you do it yourself as i don't have high hope on the quality on really cheap stuff...

Getting professional in is expensive, get a decent tap if you need to get a plumber.

Personally will recommend getting thermostatic mixer if you are after bath shower mixer

Sorry, I see I wasn't clear, I meant an electric shower thingie hung on the wall over the bath. This type of gizmo:
