Never done this before as previously lived in rented houses. Buying a shower room for my girls age 6 and 7 for their new rooms in the loft. The shower room will be pretty tiny and I need to really maximise it with what I buy. What I want:
Small sink/Basin ideally with storage
Mirror - with storage ideally
Toilet
Shower - as big as we can fit.

I don't know where to start. Builders recomended STC and have trade accounts we can use but seems very Pricey. Gutted we just missed Wickes half price sale as Wickes looks the best option at the moment. Hopefully buying this tomorrow!

B&Q do a good basic bathroom range.

B&Q seemed rubbish when I looked online. Didn't really have any of the things i wanted. Sad

We found all this stuff had the best prices online. We bought one cheap loo from a generic plumber's merchant and an expensive one from ideal standard, I think. The expensive one is so much more effective.

Shower trays are standard sizes so measure to see what's the max size you can fit in and think about how it's going to open. Mirrored cupboard - ikea has some but we got a great one with lighting from some online place.

We find just a good big mirrored cabinet is enough for storage, but if you need under-sink storage consider fitted cabinets. Mirrored doors for these tend to be £££ though.

I thought you wanted low cost, but on re-reading your OP, you didn't actually say that, you just said STC was pricey.

Having said that, we bought a B&Q "bathroom to go" several years ago, and it's absolutely fine. Just what we wanted - nice and plain.
