For all of you "do it yourself- it's easy" types; I can really see Fotze's point of view. There is just some stuff that I don't feel comfortable doing; and plumbing is one of them. Mind you I'm also lucky to not only know 3 plumbers, but none of them are good with computers. (which is my line of work.)
So, getting back to the hiring of a plumber to also supply parts- instead of calling up some guy, call up a small to medium sized company. Explain the situation- that you are looking for a decent fixture and want them to supply and install it for you. They should be able to point you to websites that show what's available, and then you can pick what you want, have the plumber order it, and bring it with him to do the install.
