New bathroom for house

[Drewclay]

Hi there, I'm looking at buying a new bathroom suite for my house. Iv never bought one before and unsure on what budget I should be spending. Basically I want a suite (the bath is fine) that looks square & modern and I would like a nice mirror with lights.

I have seen bathroom companies like victoriaplumb.com and betterbathrooms.com, but have recently found one called johnlouis-bathrooms.co.uk they seem to be much cheaper than others and this is better- I would rather pay less. Has anybody used them before? Or can anyone recommend anywhere with similar prices?

Thanks

Hi I personally got everything I wanted via ebay its really good quality and cheap i cant fault it. Its exactly the same as whats in bathstore or most outlets just without the mark up.

I have used Victoria Plumb, they were fine.

Be careful with getting the shower style baths though - they are nice for showers but as a bath they use an incredible amount of water. The other annoying thing is that the edges of the bath don't slope back down into the bath, so you get water puddling around the edges.

Be careful with the cheaper stuff from bathroom suppliers who trade via eBay. I got a traditional style pedestal sink that was wonky across the front. A WC from the same supplier had been dented in the side before firing, and was misshapen. The replacement had highly visible flaws in the glaze. Both were from the "Carlton" range. I used the sink for a while but got refunded (eventually) on the WC.

Having said that, most of the stuff I've built into my house came via eBay, so I think I was unlucky with that range and with that supplier.
