    Anyone know where I can pick up a decent bathroom suite (Toilet, Sink, Bath, Shower Screen & Power Shower) for less than a €1000?

    Nothing fancy, just white. Also, would I be asking too much if I said I'd prefer a metal or iron bath, as this will be used to stand in for the shower.

    Thanks.

    I would say most of the dedicated plumbing and sanitary ware suppliers would be well able to deal with this. Where are you based?

    AFAIK though, there are very few metal baths nowadays.

    Most Architectural Salvage yards would have metal baths.

    Most DIY superstores would have white bathroom furniture sets, some on saleor Special offers at moment.

    One local (German) supermarket had white wc & whb at very reasonable prices.

    Could try plummers from cheap "end of line" sets.
    Good luck.

    You can get light steel baths alright ,not sure how expensive they are compared to fibreglass ones. People don't generally have problems with fibreglass baths when using them with showers(standing) ,most of them come with timber glued to the bottom with leg supports.

    The taps and fittings can greatly increase the price of a suite.

    Thanks. I suppose the metal bath wouldn't be that big of an issue... I just thought it would be better to have a stronger on if it's going to be stood in quite a bit. Maybe i'm wrong... Anyone?

    B &Q sell bathroom sets cheaply. At sale times there are some really good bargains.

    I install showers and baths ,honestly nearly everyone has an electric shower these days and the baths are nearly all fibreglass.

    Make sure the bath is properly supported by the walls and feet and you'll be fine.
