There are dozens and dozens of bathroom showrooms across the country which have hundreds of products on display and most can help with bathroom design services.

Regardless of where you get your inspiration and ideas from, you should always take the time to visit bathroom showrooms and look at the bathroom fittings ‘in the flesh’. This way you can check the quality of the bathroom fixtures and fittings and get a far better picture of what it looks like and how big it is.

Get the most out of bathroom design services

During your visit to a bathroom showroom(s):

  • Bring bathroom floor plan - current and any ideas you have
  • Ask a lot of questions - the companies are there to help
  • Tell staff as much about your current bathroom suite as possible
  • Explore the entire bathroom showroom
  • Always take away copies of brochures so you can look at your leisure
  • Get tile samples if required - if you do this online you may have to pay for these
  • Get an installation quote - is this just fittings or install too?
  • Make sure you know what you want. Spend time researching advice and ideas for bathroom design and style - the more you prepare the happier you are likely to be with the end result
  • Document any questions you have so you are well prepared when talking to bathroom designers. Some of them will play hardball so you need to be ready
  • If you go for end-of-line products be prepared to compromise… And make sure you check for any damage
  • If they won’t budge on price they are more likely to throw in some extras e.g. Upgrade your taps
  • Above all it’s a big decision so don’t let any bathroom showrooms rush you into buying a bargain

Many bathroom showrooms offer in-store bathroom design services, but advice is generally limited to the layout of basic elements, rather than providing solutions to problems. When buying for your bathroom, take along a plan of the room, with the existing fittings marked, and make sure you know the location and type of water-heating system you have, so that the bathroom showrooms can help you choose the most appropriate fittings.
