The Modest bathroom suite from Bauhaus is created using the highest standard manufacturing process and designed to suit any clean living modern bathroom, its no fuss approach to design and very reasonable price make it a winner for any discerning consumer.
The Modest is a compact bathroom suite comprising of just six choices. The Modest 50 basin is designed to be either wall hung, on an optional pedestal or counter top for a piece of furniture, it is supplied with a single tap hole for a mono bloc basin mixer and a built in overflow.
There are 4 choices for the Modest toilet the close coupled toilet is available in two types both with a projection of just 655mm which is one of the smallest on the market and a great space saving. Both versions come with a dual flush of 3 and 6 liters and are fully internally glazed for hygiene and easy cleaning. So the only difference is you get an open backed version for side entry of the soil stack connection, or if the outlet is straight into the floor or out the back wall the Modest close coupled closed back option makes a neater look and even easier to keep the bathroom clean.
The last two options for the WC is the Modest back to wall pan where you can conceal a cistern in furniture or a wall cavity, or for the ultimate in minimal design use the Modest wall hung pan which will make the room look larger.
All the WC’ s have a soft close WC seat available.
For a professional installation use the basin support frame and the Bauhaus WC support system also available.

Buying bathroom taps is one of the most important decision you will make when renovating your house, there are so here is a quick guide to assist you in making your choices.
1, Make sure that you buy branded bathroom taps from a reputable retailer through your local showroom or online shop, lots of people are being teased by very cheap prices into buying poor quality import brass ware through shops and the Internet, What I have noticed is that retailers are calling taps by a brand name but when you search for the manufacturer there are no details of them online. So make sure that the manufacturer has a base in the UK.
The reason retailers are now doing this is that it protects them against you finding the same product cheaper elsewhere.
2, It is critical that you select the brand you buy and check that it is suitible for your water system, you need to look for the minimum pressure that a tap or shower will work on e.g 0.2 bar which means you will need 2 meters of distance between the bottom of your cold water storage tank and where the water flows from the taps or shower.
So for each 1 meter in distance you will need 0.1 bar.
*Note If you do not have a cold water storage tank this does not apply unless the stated pressure is above 2.0 bar then call a plumber and get you pressure tested to make sure you have enough.
3, A cheap tap or shower is not good value for money as you will be paying out for a replacement and a plumbers bill which is a lot more costly than paying just a bit more for a recognized brand.

Looking for a shower pump for my house I soon realised that it was not going to be easy, there is so many models and brands, I was being told by my plumber that I should get a shower pump as I would not have enough pressure “get 2.0 bar twin” he said, the local merchant told me that I had to use a bigger pump as they were the only pumps that would do the job, the more I looked the more confused I got.
I then called Tim at Tapstore.com he is their technical man, I explained that I needed to pump my shower in a new loft room and also a bathroom on the first floor, I am rather confused as one guy said just get a 2.0 bar twin and the other said that I needed more and felt that everyone I asked advised something different?
Tim’s answer was to go for a technically brilliant product a Electronic Sensor Pump he explained that ” because my shower head was higher than the cold water storage tank in the loft (negative head) there will not be the flow to start up the pump I needed, and with the downstairs shower there was no real issues about the flow to start the pump (positive head)”. In the end I went for a pump that did everything both the showers, my whole first floor bathroom and my hot kitchen tap which had also given me flow problems.
What I now know is a pump is simply not a pump for any job and each pump has a specific purpose apart from the one I bought. I bought a Salamander Electronic Sensor ESP 2.25 bar CPV Twin pump and it does just the job perfectly, it is designed to work in positive and negative head with independent hot or cold supplies, WC even my dishwasher and washing machine.
RRP £599.00 Tapstore.com price £341.00 Inc VAT and Delivery.

Bristan’s chill bathroom taps and showers are one of the best ranges they produce with the full individual flair in the Danish design, The flatness of the spouts within the range are inspiring, on the handle is a engineered square grip which doubles its function as a flow control. Chill basin mixer tap is sure to excite you into creating a truly contemporary bathroom.
It is not a huge range but it will satisfy most bathing and showering requirements the first and most sold item within the range is the monobloc basin mixer as pictured on the right it is available with or without a pop up waste and also in a taller version without a pop up waste, there is a two hole basin mixer option as well with a neat square escution plate for mounting both the spout and the control valve, you can also use a version with a rectangular base plate to join the spout and the control valve together.

Bristan Chill Showers.
There are four opinions for the shower, the first option pictured to the left is a thermostatic shower valve that can be mounted either on the surface or recessed into the wall, it comes complete with a riser rail kit and a really neat stylish single function shower handset.
In the recessed only options which are also thermostatic you have the choice of a dual function with a flow control and a temperature control handle ideal for either a shower kit or a fixed position shower head, then there is a shower valve with diverter so two items can be controlled and my favorite the three way valve (pictured right) which is the same as the diverter option with the added bonus of a stop cock on/off control fitted below the thermostat that can be used simultaneously with either of the top outlets or individually on its own.
