    some?

    Peter Rachman strikes again.

    If you're after cheap then Wickes do good deals. Or they did when we bought our suite. It's about 8 years ago we got ours and we paid £200 for the bath, basin, taps and the bog. It's white, it's a sleak, modern design and it still looks brand new 8 years on.

    Maybe Gally will know - used to be the family business, I believe.

    We got ours from Fresco off Queens Road near football ground. Price and quality was good but fitting price seemed quite expensive so I did my own, which I later regretted cos it dragged on for months! Old guy that runs it is a bit of a character.

    When we did ours we got loads of stuff from ebay. Lots of it from dealers selling stuff off rather than private sellers.
    No problems with anything and saved a fortune on 'shop' prices.

    Not being funny but isn't there a clue in the name "Designer Bathrooms"

    i wouldn't walk into "Designer Handbags" and ask for a "cheapish handbag", for example. (Not that I've ever owned a handbag that's ever cost more than £20)

    Not really

    It says designer bathrooms not expensive bathrooms. People can like good design without necessarily wanting to pay lots of money

    He could have asked what our price range was. He could have shown us his cheapest range. He didn't. He said you've come to the wrong place. He was rude and unpleasant.

    Re: Not really

    I don't know who that would have been Jay although my brother did have a manager in there for a little while a couple of years ago who didnt work out.

    Whilst they probably cater for more middle range - high end market in that showroom they have another showroom on Doncaster Road which has a different range and they are certainly able to provide cheaper suites.

    It was about 8 years ago

    No doubt I'd have long forgotten about it, but it really ****ed off my wife and she still bristles about it every time we go past.

    It was probably my Dad then ;)

    Actually I dont think he was really selling any white bathroom suites at all by that point. It became almost an office for him for his business that sells coloured bathrooms replacement so that would be why!

    Different business there completely now although its the same name.
