Similar to Megabad, but all in English.

Even in Germany, prices vary hugely, I have found out.

 

What you can do however, is to refine your searching by searching for specific products using a price comparison website. Start with a known brand and product code. Then for example:

• make sure in Chrome you have the google translate plugin enabled and configured to translate from German to English
• go to a price comparison website such as idealo.de
• type in the brand and the product code (one number at a time)
• they will prompt you with the product you might be looking for - click on the prompt or just type the whole code in

You will then see a display of all the various online plumbing suppliers. As discussed elsewhere ("I love megabad") some ship to the UK and some don't; some have better reputations than others but the point is, that once you know which suite (collection of components) you are going for, it becomes easier to pick a supplier (or two) who will do you the whole lot at good discounts.

 

The other way you can use it is to navigate via their 'categories'.

 

Example: you know you need a WC, and they have to be a certain size, but how to choose amongst the thousands available?

 

Start off it Idealo's Plumbing and Fittings section:

• click on WCs (translation: Toilets LOL)
• looking very carefully, see if you can spot 'all filters' (you might have to try a couple of times)
• click and you then get a whole shedload of options that allows you to further filter, including by price (bottom of the screen)

For example:

• seelct the filter 'less than 150 euro'
• select the filter 'wall mounted'
• click the button 'products show'
• ensure you are sorting 'price lowest first'

and for example, you can see that the cheapest Duravit wall hung WC is 56.92 euro. (Nothing agaisnt Ideal Standard btw)

 

Click on the WC and you can see that 56.92 is from MITI24; megabad are at 67.83 and skybad are at 80.75.

 

Works for all kitchen and bathroom supplies!
