Hi there.
We are looking into moving, in the next 18 months or so, and our bathroom is extremely tatty and needs replacing (i.e. cracked sink, enamel coming off bath etc.).
We do not want to spend a fortune, so just need a very basic new bathroom put in so it looks clean.
When we bought our house (about 15 years ago), the previous owner had bought the bathroom equipment - new sink, toilet etc. everything except the bathtub but had yet to have it installed. This equipment has been sitting in our garage, all wrapped up, until this very day.
The bathroom was tatty, even then, and despite our best intentions to have the equipment put in, we never did.
My question, now, is whether we should try and have the bathroom equipment put in or whether we should just go with something new.
Compared to the costs of labour, the toilet, sink and taps are going to costs relatively little. I am worried that as the equipment is so old, now, it is clearly out of warranty. Plus, if something shatters, it would be impossible to get a replacement (all we know is that the equipment was bought from B&Q).
What do you think?
Should I start from scratch and get someone to install something brand new?
