ᐅ Affordable Plumbing Fixtures Online – Issues with the Installer?

I would like to buy my entire plumbing system online because I can get a discount of about 40% compared to buying it from the installer. However, a friend warned me that many installers refuse to install materials purchased elsewhere, suggesting they do this to push online competitors out of the market.

I find that hard to believe since I pay the installer regularly for their work, so they still make a profit. On the other hand, I want to be cautious. It doesn’t help to have cheap materials if I can’t find a professional to install them.

What do you think? Should I really expect problems if I buy my materials cheaply online?

Yes, that’s true, and it concerns the warranty of the material. Often, these plumbing items are available in an online shop directly from the wholesaler. Why should the installer accept the material through that channel? I can understand that.

We need to renovate my parents-in-law's plumbing. For this, I have obtained quotes from three companies. Now, the question of materials also comes into play. All three companies are tied to a sanitary wholesale supplier. Here, I can only review the complete quotes and then make a decision.
