There’s nothing more annoying than standing ankle deep in tepid water when taking your shower: Having a blocked shower or bath waste can take the pleasure out of your morning routine and can also be quite unhygienic. While there are lots of products out there that are marketed for unblocking sink, shower or bath waste pipes, did you know that a lot of these products can actually be quite harmful to your pipes? The harsh chemicals can erode sealant and even the inside of your pipes, causing you bigger problems later on. Here we show you different ways to unblock your shower or bath without having to reach for the harsh chemicals… Get Your Hands Dirty (We recommend wearing rubber gloves). As most blockages are usually caused by a build-up of hair and soap scum, manually pull out any visible debris and then test if it’s all gone...

If you’re looking for the best bathroom fitter in the Dublin area, here are some things to take into account: How to Find the Right One Think about what services you require - write them down; once you start searching, check this list against the services the different bathroom installers offer. For instance, some bathroom installers will offer an installation only service (so no design, product placement or project management). Some bathroom installers will help you source bathroom furniture from other manufacturers or wholesalers, while others will only install products you’ve purchased from them; and some will offer a sanitaryware installation service but won’t carry out construction work on walls or floors. Be very clear about what you want in your communication and ensure that they are very clear in return. Cost Of course, cost is always a really important factor when choosing the right bathroom installers. Choose someone who’s...

Wetrooms are becoming increasingly popular and it’s easy to see why: They’re easy to clean, practical and stylish and these are just some of the benefits a wetroom has to offer. But a wetroom isn’t always the right choice for everybody. Here we discuss the details and the pros and cons of having a wetroom installed in your home. What is a Wetroom? A wetroom is a completely watertight room that is usually installed by a professional to safeguard against leakage and to ensure that the floor is fitted at the correct gradient (so the water fully drains away). Wetrooms do away with the need for a shower tray and screen, making them particularly useful for people with mobility issues, as the seamless floor and walls make it easy for wheelchair access or for individuals to manoeuvre. What are the Benefits of a Wetroom? As just mentioned, wetrooms are fantastic...

Recently we had a customer come to us who was considering financing his sanitary ware using a 0% interest free for 12 months credit arrangement. This had been offered through a bathroom showroom that he had visited. On the face of it this sounded like quite a good deal. Who doesn't want something for free right? However when we looked at it a bit closer with him, what had seemed like a good deal turned out not to be quite so good. You see when a business is offering 0% interest it isn't going to be out of the kindness of their heart. It just means that some financial sleight of hand is taking place. You see the 0% offer was against the full retail price of the sanitary ware, whereas we know that if our customers ask us to supply sanitary ware we can typically...
