Sorry for sounding like such an amateur, but I am!

The wife wants several bathrooms redone in a house we just bought. Going to be talking to a plumber next week. Was just browsing around to get a handle of the costs of taps, shower heads, etc.

Saw that there are some Germany based online shops like Reuter that do Hansgrohe taps and shower fittings that are much, much cheaper than in the UK. Even Grohe concealed cisterns flook cheaper, even with the lousy EUR/GBP exchange rate.

However, before I get my hopes up too much of saving some money by ordering from Germany - is there anything I should be worried about? Incompatible pipe sizes, etc? Invalidated warranties? Hassle with shops like Reuter?
 
Its always been cheaper to buy in proper europe,i get very good deals on boilers in Hamburg & Amsterdam ;)
 
You'll need to order some brexit adapters as well. They convert European 15mm to the standard 15mm we use in the U.K.
