Bathroom Suites
There are many choices to make
when choosing cheap bathroom suites.
First you have to choose between a steel enamelled bath
or an acrylic bath.
You don’t see many steel baths
today but they do still exist and sometime this is the
type of bath that comes with cheap bathroom
suites. Whilst a steel bath
can feel lovely and warm all over when they are full of
hot water there is always the worry of chipping them if
you drop something inside them. They can chip quite
easily and I once chipped one whilst fitting it as my
spanner hit the side from underneath.
The vast majority of baths are
likely to be acrylic, but always remember to check when
purchasing.
You can find many designs
with and even in the cheaper
options, such a the shell design which usually have
a large shell design up the sitting end of the bath,
under the basin and on the toilet seat, there are also
other designs but the most popular today is probably a
plain type of design.
You can buy low
cost suites and make them look much more luxurious
by adding beautiful taps but be aware that taps can often
be very expensive and this may well push the price
up so your cheap suite becomes expensive.
Cheap bathroom suites can be
purchased in different colours although these days
the vast majority seem to be white, if you choose a
white suite you have the benefit of being able to
decorate around it with any colour, so when you fancy a
change in years to come you are unrestricted.
If you do go for plain
white bathroom suite with the idea that you
might change the colour scheme in the future then you may
want to consider keeping your tiles or panelling a
neutral colour as these can restrict your choice of
colour even if the suite doesn’t.
These days cheap bathroom suites
really are that and they can be bought for just a few
hundred, when you consider how long they last it really
does seem like a bargain. If you go for this lower cost
option it will probably cost you more for the labour of
fitting it, unless you are lucky enough to be able to fit
it yourself, or maybe you have a handy relative who would
help you out.
It can be easier to undertake jobs
like fitting cheap bathrooms if you use modern
push on fittings, these can save anyone from having to
solder to adjust the pipes to suit the new
suite.
Finding a decent plumber can often
be a difficult task and where possible you should use one
who has been recommended by a friend who has used the
service before. Failing that then you should get at least
three estimates and have a chat with each of the
plumbers, this should give you a good feel of whether or
not the plumber seems reliable or indeed knows what their
talking about. One way of getting some quotes is to use
one of the new online quote comparison sites, you just
enter your details one and they pass them on to a number
of trades persons, sometimes they are vetted and
sometimes have been rated by other customers.
How ever you go about it and
whatever colours or designs you choose, have fun and good
luck, your now well on your way to that beautiful
bathroom that you have dreamed of.
If you do fit the items yourself
it is well worth checking out the Water Regulations affecting
the installation. If you intend to totally remodel your
bathroom and alter the drainage you may well need
Building Regulation Approval, you can find information
regarding the applicable Building Regulations here
