Bathstore bathroom suites
Click through our picture gallery below to see a range of Bathstore bathrooms across various prices and styles.
Bathstore used to have everything you might need for your bathroom - suites, flooring, heating and lighting. However, in June 2019 it went into administration and was subsequently bought by Homebase in July 2019.
You can still shop on its website or in stores while it sells off stock, much of which is on sale. But it's worth keeping in mind that plans for the stores aren't certain, so your ability to return or exchange items or complain about problems may be affected.
Bathstore bathroom stores
Some Bathstore branches are still open for business, although a number are being closed down after display bathrooms are sold off. Use its online 'store locator' to find one near you.
Homebase plans to keep a number of Bathstore shops running, as well as open concessions within Homebase branches. You can also order a printed brochure, or shop directly from its online catalogue.
Bathstore design service
Bathstore still has a free in-store consultation service called Home Design Service using its 3D planning software.
You'll need to book an appointment and bring along your bathroom measurements. Bathstore can also visit your home to double-check your measurements. You can start your planning by using its free online 2D planning tool.
Bathstore fittings and accessories
You can get towel rails, robe hooks, soap dispensers and more from Bathstore. It also has lighting, mirrors and wire storage baskets.
Bathstore showers
Bathstore sells a range of power, mixer and electric showers, including ones from Aqualisa and Mira. It also sells shower enclosures and components for wet rooms.
We've rated well-known shower brands and tested electric showers to find out how reliable they are and whether they deliver on the manufacturer's claims.
Bathstore bathroom cabinets
There is a wide range of bathroom furniture available, including bespoke and built-in units, as well as standalone cabinets. These include 'space saving' and 'budget' units.
