Bathroom Accessories & Kitchen Accessories - Buy PVC Pipe & Fittings, Connectors & Accessories Online

Bathroom accessories are the small, essential parts that connect, complete and finish a kitchen or bathroom installation. The PVC pipe and fittings that carry waste water, the connectors and couplers that join components, the flexible hoses, hand shower and health faucet sets, and the finishing pieces - none of them is the headline product, but nothing works without them. At Fixxly, our bathroom and kitchen accessories range brings together these must-have connecting and finishing components, so a plumbing or fit-out job is never held up for a missing elbow, coupler, hose or fitting. This guide explains what the accessories cover, why PVC pipe and fittings matter, and how the right accessories complete an installation.

What do bathroom accessories include?

This category covers the connecting and finishing components used throughout kitchen and bathroom installations. It includes PVC pipe and fittings for waste and drainage, elbows, connectors, couplers and adaptors that join pipes and fixtures, flexible connection hoses, hand shower and health faucet sets, waste and drainage fittings, and the assorted small accessories that complete a fit-out. These are the parts that link the major fixtures - sinks, basins, taps and appliances - to the plumbing system and to each other. Because a single installation uses many of them, and because a missing one stops the job, bathroom accessories are best kept together as a complete set of connecting essentials.

PVC pipe, fittings and elbows for waste and drainage

The core of this category is PVC pipe and fittings - the pipework that carries waste water away from sinks, basins and floor drains. Unlike the pressurised supply pipes that bring water in, waste pipework is a gravity drainage system, and PVC is ideal for it: lightweight, corrosion-proof, easy to cut and join, and unaffected by the waste water it carries. The fittings - elbows, tees, couplers, traps and reducers - route the waste from each fixture to the drain. A brass or PVC elbow changes the direction of a pipe run without weakening the joint, and is one of the most frequently used fittings in any installation. A properly assembled PVC waste system with the correct elbows and traps prevents odours, blockages and leaks, making these fittings essential to a functional, hygienic kitchen or bathroom.

Connectors, hand showers and finishing accessories

Connectors, couplers and elbows

These join pipes and connect fixtures to the plumbing, ensuring secure, leak-free links between components. The right connector or elbow for each junction is what makes an installation reliable. Fixxly stocks Futura PTMT connection pipes and PVC waste pipes for exactly this purpose - engineered, corrosion-resistant connections at the points where a neat, durable finish matters most.

Hand showers, health faucets and flexible connection hoses

Flexible hoses connect taps and fixtures to the supply, accommodating slight misalignment and making installation and future servicing easier. A hand shower or health faucet set - like the Lorazzo health faucet guns with hose pipe and wall hook available on Fixxly - pairs a spray head with a flexible hose for everyday bathroom use. These are among the most commonly replaced bathroom accessories, since the hose and trigger mechanism see daily wear.

Waste fittings and traps

Waste fittings and traps connect a sink or basin to the drainage and hold a water seal that blocks odours from rising. A correct trap is essential for a hygienic, odour-free fixture.

Finishing accessories

The assorted small finishing pieces complete an installation neatly, covering the countless minor needs of a fit-out.

Why the right bathroom accessories matter

Major fixtures get the attention, but the accessories determine whether an installation actually works and lasts. A wrong or missing connector leaks; an incorrect trap lets odours through; a poor hose or elbow fails. Because these components carry water and waste and are often hidden behind or beneath fixtures, a failure is both messy and awkward to reach. Using the correct, quality accessories - the right PVC fittings and elbows, secure connectors, proper traps and reliable hand shower hoses - is what makes a kitchen or bathroom installation leak-free, hygienic and durable. And because a single job uses so many of them, having the full set of bathroom accessories on hand keeps the work moving.

These accessories complete the plumbing that runs through CPVC pipes and fittings and plumbing accessories. They connect the kitchen sinks, faucets and accessories and bath fittings to the drainage system.

Matching pipe and fitting materials to the job

A reliable plumbing connection starts with using the right material for each part of the system. PVC pipe, fittings and elbows are ideal for drainage, waste and cold-water connection work, being light, corrosion-proof and easy to join, which is why they are so widely used for these applications. PTMT fittings, being strong and corrosion-resistant, suit the visible connections at taps, health faucets and cisterns where a neat, durable finish is wanted - Futura's PTMT connection pipes on Fixxly are built for exactly this.

Making joints that stay watertight

Leak-free plumbing comes down to the right fitting installed with care. Every joint should use the correct fitting type and size for the pipe, with no forcing of mismatched parts. Solvent-welded plastic joints need the correct cement applied properly and allowed to cure fully before the system is put under pressure, since a rushed joint is a common source of leaks. Threaded joints should be sealed with thread tape, and flexible connections need their washers and seals seated correctly.

Supporting pipe runs so joints are not stressed, and checking the system under pressure after installation, confirms that every connection holds before the work is closed up. The most frequent causes of leaks - mismatched fittings, unsealed threads and rushed joints - are all avoidable with a little care.

Buying accessories with confidence

Plumbing connections are best treated as part of the complete water system, so the PVC and PTMT fittings, elbows and connectors are worth buying together with the supply pipes, storage and fixtures they link, with materials matched to hot, cold and drainage duties. Because a single poor or mismatched fitting can cause a leak that damages far more than the fitting itself, choosing quality bathroom accessories and installing each joint with care is a sensible economy.

Using the correct fitting type and size, sealing threaded joints, solvent-welding plastic joints properly and letting them cure, and checking the system under pressure are what keep the whole installation dry. Gathering the right pipes, elbows, fittings and connectors before starting, matched to the job and the rest of the system, means the work proceeds smoothly without improvised connections, giving watertight, durable and neatly finished plumbing rather than a source of hidden leaks.

Frequently asked questions about bathroom accessories

What is PVC pipe and fittings used for in a bathroom?

PVC pipe and fittings are used for the waste and drainage system that carries used water away from sinks, basins and floor drains, as a gravity drainage system separate from the pressurised supply. PVC is lightweight, corrosion-proof and easy to join, making it ideal for waste pipework, with fittings like elbows, tees and traps routing the waste to the drain.

Why does a sink need a trap?

A trap connects a sink or basin to the drainage and holds a water seal that blocks foul odours from rising back up through the drain. A correct trap is essential for a hygienic, odour-free fixture.

What is a hand shower or health faucet used for?

A hand shower or health faucet connects to a flexible hose and gives a directed spray of water, commonly used near the toilet or for general bathroom cleaning. Fixxly stocks Lorazzo health faucet sets with hose and wall hook for this purpose.

What is PTMT and where is it used?

PTMT is an engineered plastic used for strong, corrosion-resistant connection pipes and fittings, often at the visible connections to taps, health faucets and cisterns. Futura's PTMT connection pipes, available on Fixxly, are built for this exact use.

How do I stop plumbing joints from leaking?

Use the correct fitting type and size, seal threaded joints with thread tape, solvent-weld plastic joints properly and let them cure, and seat washers correctly on flexible connections. Mismatched fittings, unsealed threads and rushed joints are the main causes of leaks.
