Best place to buy cheap, basic bathroom furniture?

[AmericanPastoral]

It's for a rental property. We need a bath, electric shower, shower screen, basin, toilet and very small sink as the toilet is separate. Also a towel rail. Thanks.

Plumber's merchant. If you are thinking you only need a sink in the separate loo, please rethink: there needs to be one in the bathroom.

If you are a member of the National Landlords Association (NLA) you will be able to get a discount at Trade Point and Selco builders merchants. Even with the discount, they may not be any cheaper, however it may be worth a look

Buy cheap sanitaryware if you want, but you must buy good-quality taps, shower, wastes, and WC cistern syphon and valve.

One plumber's visit to repair or replace junk will wipe out what you saved by penny-pinching on cheap tat.

Thanks wow, suffering and Piglet. It's a good point that cheaper things may work out more expensive in the long term. It's just a bit tricky - for a novice - to find stuff which is good quality and doesn't cost a fortune .

buy Bristan taps

A surface mounted shower (not built into the wall) with chromed surface mounted pipes

A basic Aqualisa shower with a round knob

wastes with plugs, not pop-ups which will leak

Look at Plumbworld. If you put "clearance" into their Search field you will see today's bargains.

Thank you SO much Piglet.

Thanks for all your suggestions. Just to let you know I went to our local plumbing supply shop. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The bathroom cost £800 - I was very pleased.
