Buying taps online

[Los Palmas 7]

Yes, I know I work for Wickes and get 20% off, but 20% off "a lot" is still "a lot" and I don't want to spend a fortune on a set of simple mixer taps for the kitchen.

Before I start a-Googling for decent priced taps online, does anyone have any good recommendations?

Cheers,

The Moose.

Some of them are the wrong size for the UK and need some fartery about with adaptors.

Avoid Bristan, we've had too many problems with them lately.

Or try the clearance stores with the old MFI stock - http://www.tradingbargains.co.uk/ - they had kitchen mixer taps for about £25 when I went there.

Sounds dodgy but we got our kitchen mixers from ebay for 25 quid each - lovely they are.

I can't for the life of my think of the companies name but I buy all my bathroom stuff from an (Italian) wholesaler of sanitaryware, taps and tiles.

They are based in Altrincham, Cheshire but sell online through their own site and eBay.

I have Otto's (the head honcho) number here if you'd like it.

I thought Wickes only did cheap taps anyway, how much are you looking to spend???

As little as possible. And, by the way, Wickes supply a wide range of quality tapware, in a variety of styles to suit every budget. So there

Sorted it anyway; popped into my local store and there was a set of chrome (effect) mixers reduced to clear. Got them for £25 after discount.

Thanks for the tips though.

+1 some real bargins on ebay, got 2 cascade taps off ebay for £25 each (most bathroom shops are £100+)

Just look for power sellers with good ratings.
