Bathroom Renos
 
We're about to start renovating our 40 year old bathroom. Can anyone recommend decent, reliable online sites for bathroom stuff? There's loads on there, it's just I'd rather use a site recommended by someone.

Cheers

Gill

We just finished a bathroom reno and bought almost everything from Swan St Auctions in Richmond:

Definitely worth a trip into the showroom, they have some very helpful staff.

There are some decent tile places on Swan St as well...we found it much easier putting it altogether than we were expecting. :)

6 months ago that would have been brilliant but we're in Sydney now, for our sins. Glad yours want as painful as you thought, I'm dreading getting it all done so that was great to hear.

EBay can be good for this stuff. Bought some great bathroom shelving and a heated towel rail - good prices and quality

We bought lots of stuff from a company on eBay called Renovation D, they have a warehouse in Bankstown so you don't need to actually do the purchase based on eBay but can head there and pick what you like the look of (and negotiated a discount if buying lots)

Your location says Sydney, but under your username it says Sunny Melbourne.
