Most people start a bathroom with the tap they like. Start with the pipe instead. The pipe goes into the wall and the floor and stays there for years; the tap can be changed in an afternoon. Get the buried part right and the rest is easy to fix later.
Match the pipe to the line
- Hot and cold supply: PPRC. Popular green PPRC, TurkPlast and Easyfit all cover the common sizes, and IIL pipe handles supply runs too.
- Drainage: uPVC. Popular's grey series and TurkPlast uPVC cover waste lines.
- Garden and outdoor: TurkPlast garden pipe, with TurkPlast water tanks if the job includes storage.
Pick one brand for each run and stay with it from the first length to the last fitting. Fittings from one maker are made to join that maker's pipe. Mixing brands halfway through a concealed line is where leaks start, and a leak inside a wall means breaking tile to reach it. If you are deciding between Popular and TurkPlast, our note on the two covers where each one fits.
Choose fixtures from the catalog
For taps, mixers, showers and sets, pick the model before you come in. The RBS, Dell and Super Asia catalogs and the TurkPlast chrome-plated sets catalog are on our Catalogs page. Send us the model code and we give you today's rate; rates move with the market, so a price in an old catalog is only a guide.
Keep the model codes once the job is done. When a cartridge or a mixer fails in three years, the code is the fastest way to get the right part.
Home or commercial washroom
A home bathroom is used by a family. A factory or office washroom is used by a shift, all day. For commercial jobs, put the money into the parts that take the use: taps, valves and flush fittings. Buy models you can get again, so a broken tap on one basin does not mean replacing the whole row to keep them matching.
What to bring to the counter
- The number of bathrooms and kitchens, and which need hot water
- Rough run lengths, or the plumber's drawing
- Which lines are concealed and which are exposed
- The model codes of the fixtures you picked
- Who is fitting it: your plumber or ours
For the finishing end we keep Popular PVC cabinets and boards for kitchens and bathrooms, and CANON geysers for hot water. Our own plumbing team fits what we sell if you do not have a plumber. Buy the fittings with a few spare elbows and tees; returns are accepted within 15 days, with terms confirmed when you buy.
The counter is at Gate No. 1, Sunder Industrial Estate, Raiwind Road, open Monday to Saturday 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM and Sunday 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Walk-in customers buy single lengths and loose fittings; contractors can send a full bill of materials on WhatsApp.
