Can anyone recommend some fairly basic but decent suction cups ? I don't need to lift any 3m calcatta bookmatch or anything :D

The orange B&Q double cups are ok for a tenner Andy, I got a couple to lift a £7k shower screen in place and did the job fine.. Not great on mat textured tiles but lock onto polished well.

Toolstation around £3.

Good for moving and lifting Minerva and removing front panels from units.

I’ve got the triple metal type and have had them for a good 15 years.

Basic but work really well on tiles and heavy glass shower screens. Got mine from China.....where else ;)

Not tried them on LVT........yet :D

I've heard tell that you should be looking at glazing suppliers for the best ones. The majority of the ones aimed at tiles are only good on a perfectly smooth glaze, any texture and they don't work well or at all.
