As long as you have measured the bathroom properly it makes no difference which order you buy the items unless you are planning to swap them out 1 at a time. Its best to a theme or look that you are going for including tiles at the same time so things match but you can wait til certain items are in a sale to help on the purse strings

Hi Carolk_17 Your first item to think about is the suit as many need to be ordered in store and may take several weeks thus giving you plenty of time to sort out shower unit etc. thanks Hardingbuilders.

Buy all at once, if you fit your bath, then tile, then get your shower unit you will have to remove the tiles to run your pipes to the shower, depending what type of shower you get.i assume you would not like to see ugly pipes ???

Dear Madam, So long as you measure and plan your bathroom layout I would procure all items at the same time. One of the main things to get right is to ensure you by brassware that will work with the cold/hot water system in your house. Make sure when deciding on product you know if you have a high pressure system e.g. combi boiler or gravity system generally stored water in a tank in an airing cupboard and cold water supply tank in loft. Your installer should be able to advise on options if you are supplying the product as not all showers work across different systems.
