Choose a purchasing route
Wholesale bathroom supply
For importers and distributors: compare models, quantities per item, destination requirements and the sample approval process.
Hotel bathroom project supply
For hotel and apartment projects: organise fixtures by room type, installation requirements, spare units and delivery phases.
Private-label bathroom products
For brand buyers: identify the base model, logo and packaging scope. Separate branding requests from changes to components or functions.
What bathroom products can buyers source from Aqvia Bath?
Aqvia Bath groups its current wholesale and project catalogue into five practical sourcing areas. Buyers can use these groups to build a focused request for quotation instead of sending a broad, unstructured enquiry.
Shower sets
Compare rain shower and hand-shower combinations by their listed controls and included components. Confirm thermostatic control or concealed installation against the exact model specification.
Luxury shower systems
Digital, piano-key and multi-function shower systems for premium residential and hospitality projects.
Shower accessories
Compare square and round ABS hand showers and a 150 cm PVC shower hose. Confirm connector dimensions, supplied parts and compatibility for the selected model.
Kitchen and basin faucets
Mixer taps and faucet models for distribution, private-label ranges and project schedules.
Bathroom accessories
Compare an aluminum towel shelf, an aluminum corner basket and a no-drill ABS suction corner basket. Check dimensions, mounting method and wall suitability before selection.
What information should a bathroom product RFQ include?
A useful RFQ gives the supplier enough information to quote the correct model, finish, packaging and delivery basis. Include the following items:
- Product reference: product URL, model name, drawing or clear reference photo.
- Quantity: sample quantity and expected quantity per model for the first bulk order.
- Destination: country, city or port so shipping options can be discussed.
- Target market: retail, wholesale, hotel, apartment, contractor or another project type.
- Technical requirements: material, finish, functions, connection sizes, pressure conditions and any market-specific compliance request.
- Customization: logo position, private-label packaging, carton marks, colour or finish requirements.
- Commercial requirements: target date, preferred currency and requested Incoterms® rule.
How should importers evaluate a shower or faucet supplier?
Evaluate the exact product and order process, not only the catalogue image or unit price. A practical comparison uses the same checklist for every shortlisted supplier.
Start by checking the supplier identity and quotation contact. Aqvia Bath publishes its registered company details and buyer contacts, including the Chinese legal name and business registration number. Company registration alone does not establish model certification or factory ownership; request the relevant evidence separately.
| Evaluation area | What to request | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Product specification | Material, finish, dimensions, functions and component list | Prevents comparison between different constructions or configurations |
| Sample review | One confirmed model with agreed finish and packaging | Lets the buyer check appearance, function, marking and packing before bulk production |
| Quality control | Inspection points, functional tests and defect-handling process | Clarifies how conformity will be checked and recorded |
| Customization | Artwork requirements, minimum quantities, mock-up and approval steps | Reduces logo, carton and finish misunderstandings |
| Commercial terms | MOQ, price validity, payment stages, lead time and trade term | Makes total landed-cost planning more reliable |
| Communication | Named contact and response process for changes or exceptions | Keeps specifications and approvals traceable |
Should buyers order samples before a bulk order?
For a new model or new supplier relationship, a representative sample is usually the clearest way to validate the agreed specification. Confirm sample cost, preparation time, courier method and whether the sample is production-equivalent.
During review, check visible finish consistency, sharp edges, assembly, moving parts, water controls, connection compatibility, accessories, instructions, labels and protective packaging. Record approved details in writing so the bulk-order reference is unambiguous.
What is the difference between OEM, ODM and private-label supply?
- OEM
- The buyer specifies branding or product requirements and the supplier manufactures according to the confirmed specification.
- ODM
- The buyer selects or adapts an existing supplier design, usually with agreed changes to finish, configuration, branding or packaging.
- Private label
- An existing product is supplied under the buyer’s brand using approved logo, label, manual and packaging artwork.
Actual options depend on the model and order quantity. Ask for a written list of customizable elements, artwork formats, approval samples, minimum quantities and any additional tooling or packaging costs.
Which shipping and trade terms are relevant to bathroom product orders?
Courier, air and sea shipment may be discussed depending on volume, destination and timing. The quotation should name the exact place or port together with the selected Incoterms® 2020 rule, because cost, delivery and risk obligations differ by rule.
Common enquiries include EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP and DDP. These pages are practical summaries, not legal advice. For the authoritative rules, consult the International Chamber of Commerce.
