Vitra bathroom fittings failing

[Jacob]

Vitra WHB, bath, WC previously fitted in our new house. Look new - must be just a year or two old.
All three failed!
Plug mechanisms in the bath and basin both broken, the bog doesn't flush properly - needs two flushes and the bog brush.
Are all Vitra products cr ap?
What's a good brand, without unnecessary plug mechanisms and with reliable flush.?

Probably not.

The fittings, waste etc, might not be Vitra. Sounds like the problem isn't ceramics, it's fittings the plumber has chosen to use to connect it all up which may, or may not, be out of a Vitra catalogue. May or may not be the cheapest stuff they could get from the wholesaler. Vitra have no control over that Often easy to replace.

Flushing problem unlikely to be the pan, so again not likely to be an issue with vitra design or manufacture,more likely poor installation, corrugated flex connector or similar, poor adjustment of water levels in cistern.

Bit like getting a puncture and saying all Fords are rubbish.

Most mainstream manufacturers have a huge range, with without lever wastes, tap holes etc. , a patient exploration of the ideal standard product list will give you answers, there are many others.
