I'm just planning some major changes in my place, including swapping out all the sanitary equipment and installing new. I've had some quotes from the builder and the prices seem a little steep (you name it, it costs ~300 euros), so I want to do my own research.

Apart from AKI and Leroy-Merlin, can anyone recommend any vendors/showrooms around Lisbon or the Algarve? (I'm halfway between the two!)

TIA

MaxMAt , I think have an online catalog. Had nothing but problems with cheap leroy stuff.

Ive had good luck for the cheap stuff from sanatania though , used in most of the public and resturaunts , I think dropping the makers an email will provide supplier more local to you , or of those that will deliver.

I think I was about 149 euros for sitter off floor job , 99 for footbath , 120 for sink ex comode , 99 for shower tray which was generic not sanatania , never asked about the plastic bath price just for a cheap one as it wasnt going to be used. But I was buying 2 of each , and that was ex vat and del , ex wall cistern and fittings.

Thanks both.

I'll be in Lisbon on Monday for a few days, so I'll have a look around ... and then the Algarve isn't a million miles away.

Sanitana has a huge range, but some of their stuff is at the prices quoted by my builder. However, I looked at his suggestions and they are modern "luxy" stuff ... not to my taste and not what I need really. So he's not being dishonest, he's just suggesting stuff he'd like rather than what I need .... we'll be having a chat later in the week too!

I think we are spoilt with using the likes of b and q et al for porcelain chariots in the uk , with their bulk buying power , but price wise it is comparative to the prices I was given , but this is a few years ago now since that endeavour.

It may still be an option however to use the Uk supplier , and palletise for the usual twice weekly freighters , but again your not exactly local to them neither , plus the luck of transit breakage.

This might be redressed though with any sales on , end of line , new lines coming in from spring onward. Other than a bath the rest are usually palletised when sold as a suite .
