Yes
Need to refurbish a bathroom and en suite. Just wondered if anyone esp fitters / plumbers has any experience of their stuff or care to recommend any other makes (unfortunately Matki is out of our price range !!). Looking for mid range good quality that won't break the bank

TIA
 
Well, their website is atrocious for the public. Only stockists are Travis Perkins builders merchant.

There are literally hundreds of other range/manufacturers to choose from.

Tell us what area you live in as there maybe somebody local who can give you some advice on a local supplier.

I have been in the bathroom trade for 30 years, iflo looks no different than any.

Please describe what you want and how much you are prepared to spend as that is the 1st thing you want to know as well as the the fitter/supplier.

edit.....as per the norm....there will now follow a debate on various folks experiences with every bathroom supplier known to man. The conclusion will be...that you still have to make your own mind up. Good luck but please add as much info for the pro's as possible, it will save multiple answers or questions trying to find out the same point.

Iflo is specially made for City plumbing or Travis Perkins (same company) or should I say it's made by others and badged as Iflo, can't advise about plumbing but on the heating side it's good stuff! For example the Iflo diverter valve is actually a Drayton valve just re-badged.
Might be a good idea to find out who actually makes the bathroom stuff

You make some fair points - I'm on the Norfolk Suffolk border. Was aiming to get the en suite stuff inc the shower valve for about - toilet basin and shower for under £2k ex fitting and the bathroom same as en suite but with a freestanding bath for under £3k. Is this realistic or do I need to manage my expectations

I have heard rumours that some of the shower heads are grohe but may be an urban myth :thinking:

At those prices you can get some fantastic deals. Let me do some digging for you, I know a couple of fitters not too far away.

Also you need to say if this is a refit or a re-design for the fitters sake as it could well involve much more work than your fitters price guesstimate.

Thanks for your help - the bathroom is a redesign but the en-suite is a like for like effectively do to space limitations and a low level window ;)
