Who the showroom suits

• Anyone replacing a single item, such as a kitchen mixer or towel rail, who wants to check the finish and size in person.

Brands you can compare

Porcelana brings together tapware, bathware and tiles from established suppliers, so you can put a whole room together in one place. That includes Phoenix Tapware, Meir and Modern National tapware, vanities and mirrors from Otti, Aulic and ADP, stone baths and basins from Pietra Bianca and Madu, and tiles from Mosayic plus our porcelain and ceramic tile ranges. Displays change, so if you want to see a particular item, call ahead and we will let you know what is on the floor.

Before you visit

A little preparation turns a browse into a decision. Bring:

1. Room measurements and the position of windows, doors and existing plumbing.
2. Photos of the space as it is now.
3. A sketch or plan, including where you would like the shower, vanity, toilet and bath.
4. Samples of anything you are keeping, such as a benchtop, flooring or wall colour.
5. Your shortlist from the website. Browse vanities, tapware and tiles first, and save favourites to your wishlist.

A simple plan for the visit

1. Confirm the layout pieces

Start with the vanity, shower and bath, because they set the plumbing. Check sizes against your measurements. Our guides to wall hung and freestanding vanities and shower rails and fixed showers help you arrive with a view.

2. Choose tiles together

Put floor, wall and feature tile samples together and view them standing, then near natural light. Tile size changes the feel of a room, so look at large format pieces at full scale. Tiles are call to order, and we can help with quantities. See tile sizes explained.

3. Lock in one finish

Hold tapware finishes against your tiles. Once you choose, keep the same finish for the mixer, shower, spout, accessories and wastes. Our finishes guide explains how.

4. Leave with a list and a plan

Agree on a product list with backups, and decide on next steps: an order, a free measure, or a quote including installation.

Free measure, quotes and installation

For renovations, we offer a free measure at your home so quantities and sizes are right from the start. Installation by our qualified trades is a paid service, quoted for your project together with the products. Ask in store, call (03) 9867 5051, or use the quote request form. More about our renovation work is on the renovations page.

Pickup and delivery

You can pick up your order from the Reservoir showroom, usually ready in 2 to 4 days, or choose delivery. We deliver Australia-wide: smaller items by courier and large items such as vanities, baths and tiles by freight, generally kerbside. Call ahead before collecting large items so they are ready to load.
