For some of the designer-ware you would have difficulty getting spares
even now.

I've just come back from visiting friends who rent a place with an
expensive 'designer' bathroom.

Large free-standing bath which is extremly difficult to get out of
unless you roll over and start from a kneeling position.

Floor standing pillar bath taps which have always leaked and require a
towel around the pillar at the floor. Replacement taps of the same
design leaked again after a week.

Nice streamlined taps tops which are just chromed cylinders (no indents
or protrusions). Impossible to turn off with wet or soapy hands.

Close coupled toilet where the tank section was very narrow and 3 ft
high. When the flush mechanism failed the plumber employed by the
landlords' representative could source any spares and in the end fitted
a more traditional sized close coupled unit.
