vanity + basin is my favourite part of the bathroom - solid oak throughout - wenge stained - £429 from click basin dot co dot uk. Includes tap and waste, although tap and waste not same high quality as cabinet. They offer a round basin too, but you see I was going for a "square" theme.

WC is RAK 600 (60cm projection as I was short on clearance in front of toilet) about £120 from ebay

Bath: Kaldewei basic 2.3mm £70 from Ives Plumbing (ebay)

Panels: not solid oak unfortunately, just veneer. About £60 for both side and end from plumbworld I think

Shower screen: cheapo chinese one £40 off ebay, hard to install

Never tiled before, although I did have help from my brother in law who does plumbing and has tiled before.

Also, the pics don't show the screw ups, like un-level floor tiles, putting the aquapanel on backwards and uneven wall grout lines. Long as it's water tight and lasts at least until I sell this place, I'm OK with it.
