Dear all,
I've been shortlisting fitting for our replacement bathroom for some weeks now and am really struggling to make decisions, got a huge spreadsheet going on! There are so many online retailers and so many brands to choose from. I want to get fittings that will last at least a decade but need to get good value too. We intend to stay in the house and the it's main bathroom so will see a lot of use as we're a family of four with kids growing fast. Would really appreciate some brand recommendations around the items listed here:
- Thermostatic bar shower valve with rail (no riser) - huge range of prices, want a good one as will be so well used e.g is this Triton from Screwfix going to last 10 years? https://www.screwfix.com/p/triton-benito-rear-fed-exposed-chrome-thermostatic-mixer-shower/9164t
- 1600mm long bath - is 4mm thick material good enough for standing in as that's main use of bath?
- Short projection toilet preferably rimless - can't decide if RAK are too cheapo
- Smallish single hole full pedestal basin - roughly 450x350mm - again are RAK products going to look ok in 5 years?
- Frameless bath screen/door min 800 x1200mm - should I choose 5,6,8mm glass?
- monobloc twn control basin mixer - is £45 ok or do I need to pay more for such a well used item?
- Consider this usual bath waste filler and valve combo, thoughts please https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/premier-freeflow-bath-filler-e301
Comments welcome folks!
