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.

I get your point. While I am actually pretty comfortable with electrical, I wouldn't do much more than replace outlets, switches or fixtures on my own place. Anything more substantial and I'll get a pro. But unless this job involves soldering pipes it should be pretty straight forward. While I can understand with not wanting to do it, it sounds like the plumber fotze has used up to this point has been more than a bit shady.
Perhaps you can recommend one of your plumber friends, Ken?
