This. There are plenty of places to buy online but you want to buy quality and that is where the advice on manufacturer will come in helpful.

And can you recommend any of either?

That's really going to depend on budget and style.

My go-to stuff is Bauhaus & Crosswater. Duravit, Handsgrohe, Utopia furniture perhaps, HIB mirrors. Not the cheapest stuff though.

I have used Tap Warehouse and Victorian Plumbing for bits and pieces, specifically branded products but not really full suites. For value for money and genuine knowledge of the right products, plumbers merchant.

Ask a tradesman what he put in his own house? Villeroy Boch

That's a lot of pennies to spend, it's true!

So how much do you want to spend?

If you have "quality fitters" lined up then ask them what products they recommend and where they would get them from. They may well get better deals than are offered to you.

We recently had our bathrooms replaced and the fitter guided us through the process. I always researched what he suggested but we had seen his work as he fitted the in-laws bathrooms around 8 years ago and they look as good as new.

I think we ended up with a mixture of brands across the 3 rooms. Vado, Hansgrohe and various other suppliers for cabinets, other brassware, bath, trays, tiles, towel rails....etc.

We're really pleased with how it looks and more importantly how it functions.

Enough to get something decent that'll last. Still doing research at the moment and it's a case of working out how much of our overall budget I can allocate to the bathrooms.

Had a bit of hassle with vic plumb, the sink was cracked, and the wc was leaking a little after it was installed, they wouldnt entertain us as 7 day since delivery, we were on holiday and it came the day before went.
plumber said stuff iot the best quality
PTS trade, sell to all, your plumber prob deals with them will be free delivery.
It be much stronger and thicker plastic on the bath too.

AJust finished an extension here with two bathrooms,. I competed without using any loan or credit facilities so I had to keep a keen eye on cost, but I detest cheap nasty stuff as well.

The way I tackled this was buying hansgrohe taps, showers and other brassware from Amazon warehouse used - like new, and got some bargains when they had 20% off events. As has always been the case for me with used/like-new goods, all were new and unused.

Wall hung toilets were sourced from eBay. Grohe concealed cisterns from eBay and Amazon warehouse.

I opened a trade account with Topps tiles.

The fitter, who fits for a local independent/expensive bathroom showroom was impressed with the quality..
