Domestic Bathroom Companies in the UK

An Overview about Bathrooms for the Home

There has been in recent years an explosion in the popularity of the improvement and replacement of domestic bathrooms. In fact the UK’s largest retailer has over 160 stores which gives it huge purchasing power, cutting out the middle-man and enabling it to offer a wide range of products to retail and trade customers alike.

Many stores also offer a complete design and installation service. They are able to offer a wealth of specialist knowledge and expertise to guide you through their product ranges including:

• Bathroom Suites: acrylic and steel; packages including bath, shower, wc, basins and bidets
• Basins: freestanding, inset, semi-recessed, counter mounted
• Baths: inset, roll-top and freestanding; whirlpool
• WCs: close coupled, concealed cistern, wall and floor mounted pans
• Shower Trays: slim-line ceramic and foam filled acrylic; walk-in and walk-through; screens and doors

Wet-floor Solutions: including the flush grating / drainage components and tanking materials

• Taps and shower heads: wall mounted; Mono-block mixers; open water chutes; power showers and water saving air-drop units
• Furniture: basin base units, wall cupboards, chrome support brackets, wall and floor mounted vanity units

A word of warning: If you’re building a new house or completely replacing a bathroom take care to ensure compliance with current Building Regulations. ‘Approved Document G’ in particular imposes strict limits upon potential water usage to 125/litres per person per day.

Ask your architect or plumber to undertake a water consumption calculation based upon the new appliances you intend to install - before you go to the checkout.
