What's the best bathrooms available?

[nicklaz]

Hi,

I would love to hear from a professionals POV on installing these as well as people that have bought them for their homes.

I need a new bathroom and have been shopping around. I'm considering companies like Bathstore, Aston Matthews etc, but have also come across Victoria Plumb which looks to be very much cheaper. I don't have a big budget but also don't want a bathroom that looks cheap or that is going to need replacing in a couple of years.

Has anyone bought or installed bathrooms from one of the above suppliers and have any reviews or recommendations?

Many thanks in advance!

you are confusing brands with outlets...

Grohe, Hans Grohe, cross water, Duravit Roca are names to start with... not the outlets, who won't necessarily carry spare parts in a couple of years time...

Best in what respect?
Quality
Value for money
Durability
Style
Choice

Ideal, Armitage, Twyfords, Roca, Lecico.

Forget the national stores, have a look round some independent showrooms.

You've asked what is the best available then said you don't have a big budget. Unsurprisingly, the best available require a big budget as they are expensive, so you need to decide what it is you really want. What is your budget?

The best available are Villeroy & Boch, Duravit, Laufen, Kohler, and some of the higher end Twyford kit is pretty good too. I like the Carronite baths if you want a bath, or Kudos showers if you want a shower.
