Sanitaryware Sourcing

Toilets, basins, vanities, shower enclosures, bathtubs and tapware sourced from the Foshan and Chaozhou sanitary clusters and shipped by full container.

What FBM Sourcing does for sanitaryware on a commercial project

A bathroom package on a hotel, apartment or student-housing project is a set: toilet, basin, vanity, tapware, shower enclosure, accessories and drains have to match each other and the plumbing code of the destination country. FBM Sourcing manages the entire China procurement package for overseas construction projects, and for sanitaryware we take your bathroom schedule, match each item to factories in the Foshan and Chaozhou sanitary clusters that hold the approvals your market needs, arrange samples for finish and function approval, inspect before shipment with our own FBM Sourcing QC team, and consolidate the bathroom set with tiles, joinery and other categories by full container.

Recent bathroom scopes include vanities and bathroom products for hotel and school projects in Florida and complete bathroom sets for apartment projects in Australia. All quotations, invoices and shipping documents are issued by FBM Sourcing — you deal with us, and we carry the responsibility. For products you have selected yourself, we charge a 5–8% commission (8% below USD 50,000, 5% above); for products we source for you, we quote a direct price.

Sanitaryware Categories

Sanitaryware items we source and coordinate for construction projects, matched to your bathroom schedule and the plumbing approvals of the destination market.

Toilets

Wall-hung, back-to-wall and close-coupled toilets with dual-flush cisterns; WELS, WaterSense or CE-marked models per market.

Wash Basins

Counter-top, under-mount, wall-hung and pedestal basins in vitreous china and solid surface, matched to the vanity drawings.

Bathroom Vanities

Wall-hung and floor-standing vanity units with moisture-resistant carcasses, stone or solid-surface tops and integrated basins.

Shower Enclosures

Framed, semi-frameless and frameless enclosures in tempered safety glass; tolerance and water-management details agreed per room type.

Bathtubs

Acrylic, solid-surface and cast-iron tubs, freestanding or built-in, with waste and overflow kits to the local standard.

Faucets & Mixers

Basin, shower and kitchen mixers with ceramic cartridges and finishes matched across the project; certified per destination (WaterMark, cUPC, WRAS, CE).

Bathroom Accessories

Towel rails, robe hooks, grab bars, paper holders and mirrors supplied as room kits in one finish.

Floor Drains

Linear and point drains in stainless steel with tile-insert or grate covers, sized to the shower tray drawings.

Concealed Cisterns

In-wall cistern frames and flush plates for wall-hung toilets, coordinated with the partition and tiling details.

How We Manage Sanitaryware Sourcing

From bathroom schedule to loaded container, one FBM Sourcing team coordinates the samples, the factories, the inspection and the shipping.

Inquiry

Send your bathroom schedule, quantities per room type, required approvals and destination country. We confirm the set, standards and a sourcing plan.

Factory & Product Sourcing

We shortlist sanitaryware factories with the approvals and export records your market needs, compare options within your budget band, and arrange samples for approval.

Production & QC

We follow production and inspect finished goods before shipment — glaze and surface, function tests on mixers and cisterns, accessory kits and export packing.

Loading Container & Shipping

Ceramics are crated and stacked to prevent breakage, kits are labelled by room type, and the set is consolidated with the rest of the project package. We always ship by full container.

Approvals and standards commonly requested for sanitaryware packages

Standard / approval	What it covers
WaterMark & WELS (Australia)	Mandatory plumbing certification and water-efficiency labelling for tapware, toilets and showers.
cUPC / ASME A112 / WaterSense (USA & Canada)	Plumbing product listing and water-efficiency programme referenced by North American specifiers.
WRAS / EN 997 / EN 200 (UK & EU)	Water-fittings approval and product standards for WCs and tapware.
CE marking	Construction-products marking for ceramic sanitary appliances and shower enclosures in the EU.
EN 14428 / EN 12150	Shower enclosure and tempered safety-glass standards.

Which standards apply depends on the destination country and the specification. FBM Sourcing confirms the required test reports with the factory before production and checks the documents during the pre-shipment inspection.

Can you supply WaterMark, cUPC or WRAS certified tapware?

Yes. We source tapware and sanitaryware from factories that hold the approval your market requires and confirm that the certificate covers the exact model ordered before production starts.

Do you supply complete bathroom sets or single items?

We handle complete bathroom sets for a project — toilet, basin, vanity, tapware, enclosure, accessories and drains — so finishes match and everything ships together in the project container.

How do you protect ceramics in the container?

Ceramics are individually boxed and crated, stacked with corner protection and weight-planned in the container; the packing is checked during the pre-shipment inspection.

How is sanitaryware inspected before shipment?

Our own FBM Sourcing QC team inspects at the factory before shipment: glaze and surface, dimensions, function tests on mixers, cisterns and drains, accessory kits, and packing. Photos and a report go to you before loading.

How does FBM Sourcing charge for this package?

For products you have selected yourself, we charge a 5–8% commission (8% below USD 50,000, 5% above); for products we source for you, we quote a direct price. All quotations, invoices and shipping documents are issued by FBM Sourcing.

Before You Place an Order

What should our sanitaryware sourcing brief include?

Fixture schedule by room type (toilet, basin, shower set, bathtub), the water-efficiency and certification standard your market requires (WaterMark, cUPC, WELS), and finish specification. FBM Sourcing checks this against factory-held certificates before quoting.

What should we confirm about a sanitaryware factory before placing an order?

FBM Sourcing confirms the specific SKU being ordered carries the required certificate — not just the factory’s general product line — checks the sample finish and function, and verifies packing suits fragile ceramic and glass items for the full sea-freight transit.
