Hello
We need to do our bathroom, bath with shower over the bath, sink and toilet. Looking for modern, contemporary design with durability. Can you recommend suppliers please and pics of yours would be most welcome. On tight budget. Also looking for advice on alternatives to floor tiles too. Thank you so much

Aqualisa showers are v good....but quite expensive.

Go to Victorian Plumbing and pick from their ranges. Options to suit all budgets!
Don't scrimp on the taps either, get very decent ones. Most of my stuff is Grohe or Hansgrohe

We used a smallish local bathroom/ plumbing company for our purchase (not our fitting) but this time we're using Victorian plumbing, mainly because we want something a bit cheaper, they've got something for every budget.

We've just got all our bathroom fixture and fittings from victorian plumbing. Like pp have said they have things for a range of budgets. We went for a cheap bath but bought more expensive taps and shower as well as a 2in1 toilet and basin.

One of the things I like about Victorian plumbing (not to confused with Victoria Plumb!) is that they clearly state where the item comes with the necessary fixtures/ wastes etc and if they don't they link to the relevant one, so as a non-plumber, I'm not trying to work out if something fits or not.

Depending on where you are in the country try to find a bathroom showroom to visit when they open. In London two I can recommend are C.P Hart - expensive but good for ideas and the Bathroom Discount Centre.
Our en-suite shower room is modern - we have a Crosswater sliding door, Crosswater thermostatic shower valve and rain head and shower on riser. Our basin is a double Catalano one, the taps are HansGrohe and the loo is Duravit with a Geberit concealed cistern. Flooring is large format porcelain.

Thank you everyone, will take a look, the Grohe taps are expensive but will review. @stormelf what is 2in1 toilet and basin?

Yes that's the one we've gone for. It looks really nice, although isn't actually plumbed in yet

Our friends have it, it works well in a tight space.

I recommend LVT tiles for flooring. Solid vinyl all the way through and easy to lay in a click system.

Word of caution about Victoria Plumbing - be prepared to spend a little more to get solid fittings that will last. Our chrome bathroom taps from ~3 years ago are already showing surface bubbling as it turns out they were chrome-plated plastic (but this wasn't obvious in the listing). Definitely wish I'd spent just that little bit extra on name brands that will last (e.g. Grohe)

Thank you everyone, really appreciated.
