Mungler Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 I need 2 bathroom suites for a rental in Felixstowe; plain white, hard wearing and close couple toilet. 1 with a bath shower and screen, and 1 with a solid shower tray 1400x900. Where’s the best place these days? I know the PW massive has a wealth of practical knowledge and talent. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labstaff Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 I can't recommend anywhere, but avoid bathstore. I had a suite from there and I'm disappointed with the quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Mungler For similar jobs in the past, I have rung round the local independent stockists and have picked up end of line, perfectly serviceable white wear for good discounts.

CountryBoyTweed Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Mungler I've used and recommended plumb-world countless times, Huge range, well priced & good quality. I'd recommend b&q's free design service, but their suites are a bit meh. https://www.plumbworld.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all, have had a look at all the links and the front runner is currently plumbworld. The upstairs bathroom is going to be a shower bath and my issue is with modern super thin acrylic baths - they flex and split under weight. Water escape in a rental is where the aggro is. The gutter is that the bath that was in the property was an old fashioned indestructible enamelled bath and in good nick, but that got thrown out in the strip out when I wasn’t looking.

Indeed, have done a couple of B&Q bathroom over the years, and the quality could politely be described as lacking. Following this thread with interest, as if the lawyers ever feeling like extracting their collective digits I will have 3 bathrooms to do. The current main bathroom is avocado. I know we millennials are supposed to have a total fetish for avocados, but I don't geddit meself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsto Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 I got mine from B&Q, when I moved into my current house it was very 70's and had a horrible peach/pink suite which was all shaped like clam shells, the top of the toilet, the sink basin and the bath ends. If it was plain white I could have suffered it but the colour was awful. Anyway within about a week of each other the toilet mechanism failed, the sink tap started leaking and the bath started to leak. We bought the Bodmin suite from B&Q as we didn't have a lot of money and just wanted to get it done. The lot came the next day. The quality is ok, toilet and sink are ok but as you pointed out the bath flexes a bit as it's acrylic. I can't comment on the shower cubicle as I didn't get one. You get what you pay for at the end of the day. I would recommend it if you wanted something cheap but will work. I installed it about 3 years ago and no problems so far.
