Bathrooms We recommend that you involve your bathroom installer when sourcing your materials. They can ensure a quality product is purchased that will fit your needs. The discount they get from their suppliers will be able to compete with the best prices you can get – usually at a higher quality from a trusted source. If there are faults with parts, your installers can chase these up, not you. They will listen to your needs and should be able to find the best match for your tastes and budget.
