anybody heard that bathstore is going bust? somebody told me today and wanted to check
 
All stuff I've used from Bathstore has said product of UAE which stands for useless and expensive. A basin I fitted was 1/2inch taller at one side and looked like I was on the pop when I fitted it
 
man up sort the mrs out tell her shes not boss......got to go now mrs is calling me LOL
 
I shall consult my brochures & see if I can find the details of that sink & loo for you. A lot of places get a high end looking item and then get a cheap copy mass produced as others have said, however the prices you have given ain't that cheap! I will see what I can find, the basin does look vaguely familiar!!
 
Beware of the toilets - some of them have sloping backs to the pans and unless you sit right at the front of the pan you end up pebble dashing them and leaving skid marks on them all the time. The flush does not clear the soiling so you need to keep using the bog brush on them. some TC branded toilets are really bad for this.
 
Just to confirm Bathstore do indeed manufacture a lot of there own product and make massive margins, hence the permanent 50% sale...They used to sell a lot of Phoenix product as did Vicky Plumb but now have their own factories. They're not the only manufacturer though to import from China or Turkey and though these 2 examples are flogging the cheap product at high prices it isn't all bad. Remember your iPhone also comes from China.
 
One of my customers got a Bath Store toilet pan – the pan ceramic outlet was out of shape!!! Back to the store. Came to fit the sit – both brackets are the same (should be one of each)! Back to the store. The latest one – bath waste was not to the BS! A local BS trap would not fit! It was good 4 mms out! In the bin!!! Got BS waste. What can I say?!
