Buying bathroom fittings - where is good value?

PAH_2

I am looking to refit a bathroom - buying

1400mm bath
800 quadrant shower
compact toilet
washbasin
Plus the appropriate taps etc

I have in the past got some fittings from B&Q and was disappointed with the quality - I have since moved house and need to replace some very dated fittings.

It is a family home, so needs to be robust enough to stand up to kids bathtimes etc for the next 15 years or so.

I have looked at bathstore - which seemed ok if pricey, but I am no judge of quality.

Any recommendations gratefully accepted

thanks

You could try https://www.screwfix.com - not very exciting, but tend to be a good price.

Screwfix are OK but their prices have gone up significantly since they have been taken over by B & Q. I have a couple of local independent plumbers merchants near me. they are always good value and give un biased advice. Maybe worth l;ooking them up especially if you are looking for something specific.

Just noteced the 1400 bath - not a standard size but they are available - I think your local independent may be worth a try on this as they often are happy to order in special sizes.

Plumbworld for the fittings and some of the baths, sinks etc are good. We got a kitchen sink for £40, it was £150+ in Wickes!

Bathstore is where we got our suite (if theres a sale on) and that looks far, far better than anything we could find anywhere else. Sure it was a bit more but then you get what you pay for...

Another fan of plumbworld, my local branch are very approachable.
And unlike bq /wickes/screwfix ( all of which I use ) have the extra broachers.

This might mean await of 24/36 hours for them to get the stock in.
But you will be living with your choice for MANY years
