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 :-)
Mixer taps are good if you like to wash your hands under the tap. You can
wash in something other than scalding hot or freezing cold ;o)

I actually prefer washing my hands on cold water :-) But then again i`ve
been told i`m weird before today (hard to believe I know :-) )
