North Leeds Plumbing & Heating – Home Improvement and DIY Advice

The first thing to consider when you go to purchase a new bathroom suite is the size and layout of your bathroom and what appeals to you. There are a number of different shapes, colours and styles of bathroom suite to choose from. First select your sanitary ware and then add your preferred taps, or brassware.

Bathroom suites come with different numbers of pieces. Most of these have a hand basin and pedestal, bath, toilet and cistern. However, some people have separate toilet facilities.  Most bathroom suites are made of vitreous china but many buyers prefer to buy a bath in a different material such as 5mm acrylic. Not everyone wants all the items from the same packaged suite, so all the items for a bathroom suite are available to purchase separately. It is also possible to just buy a china pack and then add a bath to it.

The easiest way to ensure that the items you are selecting for your bathroom will fit properly into the space available and not cause too many awkward plumbing problems is to ask an expert to plan your bathroom for you and advise you on the best choices.

If budget is a consideration it is not wise to try to save money by buying very cheap taps because these really set the rest of your bathroom off. Cheap taps will need to be replaced in a few years and you will have to pay for taps and fixing all over again. If you are trying to keep costs down, do it on something else in your bathroom, not the taps.
