We recommend that you allow your bathroom installer to source
your materials. They can ensure a quality product is purchased
that will fit your needs. The discount they get from their supplier s
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.
