Sanitary ware comes in a lot of price points. But one thing that is true for all kinds of sanitary ware is that even the least expensive ones are not something that anyone would consider cheap unless you are getting some cheap plastic ones. The reason why these fittings are expensive is that a lot of cost goes into designing and also manufacturing them. Materials like ceramic and stone take a lot of effort to bring into shape and finish. But when you consider the fact that these things last for many years, the initial price you place is reasonable.
