Buy local - beware of cheap imports.

Over the past few weeks there has been a rush of cheap deals on sites like Trade Me.  Buyer beware.  We give a written 5 year workmanship warranty.  If we don't know the quality of the product we won't put it in.  It can be a very expensive exercise, buying goods that are rubbish & having to buy quality again.  It costs you time and money.   Some of the toilet don't fit our drains - so they become expensive garden ornaments.  The showers are not good at all.  The trays are flimsy & bounce when stood on - this is what we all do in the shower !!!!!!

Stick to buying your goods from reputable companies, Placemakers, Mitre 10, Chesters, MasterTrade, Reece e.t.c.  Make sure you are aware of how much a bathroom costs, to do it correctly.  Multiply the cost of all your goods by three (toilet, vanity, shower, tapware, tile) You should be over budget.  It is better to expect more so if you get surprises you are covered.
