    Contact Alan Sugar and see if you can get selling shower units as a challenge on the next Apprentice?

    Or, perhaps more helpfully, contact a housing developer who may be doing up a lot of units at once?

    Oh, that was Stoner’s plan… well, Stoner and titusrider +1.

    Call a few local tradesmen from the yellow pages and do them a deal (cheaper price than trade) and they may push them onto their customers – make sure you get cash on delivery though.

    my old man is a house building company so think he has asked around already

    Surely no housebuilder would buy them as there’s no manufacturer/retailer backing when they go wrong?

    You don’t say if they are any good though. Trouble with trying to flog them to local traders etc is that they may already be able to get the same thing at a better price from their trade centre. Seems a good idea to try and use eBay and offer a mix of single units and job lots of 5 or 10.

    There’s a bloke near us, advertises in the local free papers as an independent bathroom design and fit service. He has bought job lots of certain products which he tends to steer customers towards.

    Assuming you don’t live near Stafford, there might be somebody who does that sort of thing near you.

    haha no lorry involved, they were all ordered and shipped in for a development that he was building and now the architect has changed the design so only half the number of en-suites so now have spare units to try and get rid off

    nicolaisam i have all the details in the office and will send them in the morning cheers

    obvious answer is to try and find some other development. failing that…some import/export or construction company in a country where they are still building housing?

    Isn’t this sort of what Alibaba is for or am I mistaken?

    Is this covert trade ad then?

    If the architect has changed the spec after goods were ordered then you can claim costs off of them. Then you you could give away the enclosures 😉

    konabunny whats is alibaba?

    no covert trade ad haha was just looking for ideas, he cant / wont claim anything off the architect as its a close business contact that he has had for years and years and if he didnt try to claim them it could put them under, too nice for his own good in my opinion

    Could be interested as well. Can I get dimensions and cost please? Also is it splittable? I.e. the glass on its own, base, etc?
