    Hiya,

    I got my bathroom suite from these guys on the internet and I have to say it's gorgeous and well worth the money. It's gone up slightly since I got it back in November but it's still a lot cheaper than trying to get anything similar out of the big named places in Dundee.

    As for a plumber there is actually a guy on here who is a fairly local plumber (Perth I believe but his friend works in Dundee and is quite reasonable too, PM me and I'll give you his details).

    The guy who did my tiling plumbed in my suite but I had a few problems and had to get another plumber in who sorted it out and he was brilliant again feel free to PM me for his details as I'm not sure he would want his details on a public forum. I used this same guy to change a couple of radiators for me.

    Although the tiler was rubbish at the plumbing (he had never put in my type of bath before and the waterfall system is gorgeous, he made a beautiful job of the tiling (tiles from a seller on ebay for £142 including delivery, but would've cost me circa £600 from shops). Again I can give you details of seller in a PM if you want.

    The service from the company I got my suite from was second to none. Only complaint I could say I had was with the courier, although brilliant at phoning and arranging a delivery date and time, the suite was delivered on a pallet by one person and luckily my 3 teenage sons and myself were able to help him get it off the truck and in the garden.

    The company had difficulty sourcing the shower screen to go with the bathroom suite, and as I never wanted it anyway I asked for a discount and they sent a cheque for the cost of the shower screen in a matter of days and I had a single nut missing for the shower head part going into the bath and their technical team had it sent out to me the same day. Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish.

    The same suite would've cost me thousands buying it from a shop here. (PS if you go for the same suite the bath is huge! and no such thing as a quick bath again as it does take a while to fill with the size of it, but boy is it worth it:j:rotfl::j

    Hope this helps .

    PS The accessory set which comes with it is again absolutely gorgeous, the only thing I don't like about that is the toilet roll holder has one of those flappy things which sit on top of the loo roll, but each to their own. It would certainly cost you the £100 to buy each individual item separately here. As for the sink tap, well it's currently on sale on Homebase for £129.99 on it's own!
