does anyone have any recommendations for where to buy a cheap but ok
bathroom suite? is it worth going for the mono mixer ones or seperate
hot / cold taps?

As already said, the bigger B+Q's do a spearates range where a bath can
be had for £60ish, a toilet for £60, and sink for £35. Add the cost of
taps to this, and it isnt such a good deal.
I would not recommend them though, as they look dated, and if
glass-fibre, will be thin. The sink and toilet are OK, though basic.
Great for fitting out student houses etc.
If you have a Jewsons local to you, try and get them to order you an
Armitage Shanks Sandringham bath suite. they were doing this at £223 inc
vat, inc. taps last week, though you'll need to check your local branch.
The bath in this suite is very good quality, and worth the price on its
own IMO.

Taps are a personal taste. Lower end baths and sinks tend to have 2
holes for taps, so you havent got a choice there. choose your bath/sink
first, then see what taps you want.

also want some white tiles to go around the bath (approx 1/3 of the
room will be tiled the rest skimmed and painted)

Any tile place. I havent found a tile supplier who is a lot cheaper than
any other supplier, so go to your nearest one. B+Q do a cement for
£10.98 for 7.5kg(iirc) which is about as cheap as you can get cement
for.

finally is it easy to fit a towel radiator? there is currently a
standard radiator there although i suspect it is wider than a tower
rad would be.

Floorboards or concrete floor?
Floorboards are easier, concrete will need to be chiselled out. Drain
off the water, fit your new rad to the wall, then attach new piping to
existing pipes to fit. Test for leaks, refit floor.
