Best bathroom sinks, taps, toilets, baths and showers

We've rated and ranked bathroom fixtures from big-name bathroom companies, including B&Q, Ideal Standard, Ikea, RAK, Roca and more, based on feedback from more than 6,800 people.

The tables show how each company fared, and the best-performing brands for each product type, with ratings for quality and durability. They focus on specific categories – including baths, toilets, sinks, shower enclosures and taps – rather than the experience of the brand overall.

Which? bathroom reviews

If you're after a complete bathroom suite rather than individual fixtures and fittings, we also asked people who had bought at least two bathroom components from the same brand about their experience of that brand as a whole. 

We've also rated bathroom retailers based on the feedback of thousands of customers in our survey, including in areas such as the quality of advice given, ease of arranging delivery, how problems were dealt with and value for money.

How to deal with bathroom problems

If you have an issue with your bathroom within the first year, you will usually be able to get the issue fixed or the faulty item replaced under warranty or guarantee.

If not, you can fall back on your protection under the Consumer Rights Act. This entitles you to products and services that are:

• of satisfactory quality
• fit for their purpose
• as described
• and fitted with reasonable care

If you have a problem with a bathroom that isn't down to simple wear and tear, contact the provider as soon as you notice the issue. Follow up any verbal complaints with a letter or email. 

Having everything in writing, including photos of the problem, if applicable, will make things easier if the company is unhelpful or the problem continues. Ideally, get written confirmation from the company of any agreements to fix it, along with a date.
