Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Sep 04, 2011 10:59 am I am shopping for a new bathroom vanity, toilet, bath tub, taps, accessories... basically everything for a new bathroom at what wil be my PPOR. I don't want to spend lavish amounts. I have seen some really affordable products sold at places like the Renovation Boys, from Ostar which are apparently from China.

The lady at the plumbing supply place said they are great, but she wouldn't recommend anything with moving parts (eg. taps). Basins have been delivered and they look good!
