Can we come and live on your planet? Sounds much cheaper than ours!


Agreed - a decent shower and shower pump would set you back the thick end
of £500 without enclosure and the rest of the suite!
Decent mixer tap for basin alone £75+.
Your price point may be just about good enough for temporary buy-to-let
residence, but something that the OP is going to live with for a number of
years, I suspect needs to be firmly pitched into the next quality level.

Ultimately while I`d like to do it as cheaply as possible now, a cheap
bathroom fitted now would be ripped out in about 2-3 years when the g/f
starts earning serious money. In which case it makes more sense to stretch
now and get a very good bathroom fitted and pay it off ASAP. For example,
i`m currently using a £75 electric shower which does the trick. What i`d
like is something that sprays the water under enough pressure to cut through
concrete at any temperature I choose, which is obviosuly in another price
band altogether :-) Ditto a cubicle, we`ve got one that must have cost
about £50 new, and you can tell.

Although I`d actually prefer seperate taps for the sink :-) Dunno why, but
I`ve never liked mixer taps in a bathroom. Weird I know, but that`s life
:-)
