OMG! I can't believe the prices of.....

....bathroom furniture.

I want a cabinet/concealed cistern for a back to wall wc and a cabinet for a basin too. They are hundreds of pounds!

Why are they so expensive?????

I need something with a depth of around 200mm.

Any suggestions of where to get?

Also are these things easy to fit? I assume all the pipework just gets hidden inside the cabinet and it doesn't need routed anywhere?

Do plumbers fit these things as standard or do I need a plumber for the plumbing and a joiner for the joining? :rotfl: If you know what I mean. :D

  • We got a basin and cabinet from a range called "Rose Cottage" from a local bathroom supplier, it seemed a bit cheaper than some other brands. The supplier recommended some Bathroom fitters that do the whole job for you (I didn't know they existed! but after looking in the Yellow pages, online and in newspapers there seem to be loads around!).

    Not the best designed site (you will stumble across something more by luck than judgement) but the prices are a bit lower that what you might have been looking at.

    Mine isnt fitted yet so can't comment on how they cope with wear and tear. Look ok though.

  • Just do yourself a favour..... Don't buy it from Tiles R us in Grantham.... we bought our entire bathroom from them... shower, bathroom suite, LOADS of tiles and the cupboards, worktop the lot..... We spent a small fortune .....The problems we had with them went on for weeks and the after sale service was disgusting. We had 4 worktops delivered and they were all damaged. We were told the person we were dealing with left. I woud never buy even a sink plug from them again
