Our friendly team here at Bathroom Emporium are proud to bring to you, the customer, the largest collection of luxury bathroom products under one roof in the United Kingdom today.

Our vast Emporium also boasts over 40 working Jacuzzi’s, whirlpool & spa baths and hydromassage & steam showers so you can check out your dream bathrooms’ functionality before you make your purchase.
Every conceivable option is available from Edwardian & Victorian reproduction, through 1930’s Art Deco, to the very latest minimalist contemporary designs from around the globe, including many exclusive designs unavailable elsewhere.
And with over £2m of stock available direct from our warehouse for immediate delivery, there’s no need to wait for your dream bathroom.
Established since 1972
Established in 1972 we remain very much a family business, originally founded by the late Andrew Gordon McIntosh - known affectionately to most as ‘Mac’ or ‘Mr. Mac’, a Yorkshire Scotsman and “One of life’s characters”, along with his late wife Edna or ‘Mrs. Mac’ to her friends.
Now with second generation at the helm our policy is to bring you the same levels of service that we established back in 1972 based upon the traditional values of customer care and service and value for money products.
Our purchasing and product sourcing
Our invaluable 36 years experience in the selecting and purchasing, internationally, of bathroom wares, allows us to offer you what we believe to be the finest collection of bathroom products, representing the best value for money, available in the world today.
We literally source products from all around the globe, with the emphasis firmly based upon design, quality, longevity and price.
Design
Our independent group of companies now includes the designing and manufacturing of Brassware, Sanitaryware, Showers and Accessories.
We currently employ the services of a number of internationally recognised designers, including probably the number one designer of Sanitaryware in the UK today, thus ensuring that we remain constantly at the cutting edge of bathroom design.
Guarantees
For your peace of mind all our products carry substantial guarantees.
Indeed such is our confidence in the quality of our products, many actually carry a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
In fact we are able to supply our older customers with replacement parts for items purchased from ourselves over twenty years ago!
So no rubbish here folks!
No inferior products that are unlikely to stand the test of time, after all an item is not a value for money item if it fails and you have to purchase a replacement within a short space of time is it?
No goods purchased from manufacturers whom engage in the practice of exploitation of workers in third world countries either!
All our goods are purchased from reputable worldwide manufacturers and all carry substantial warranties in order to safeguard the longevity of the product throughout its expected working life.
In short, if it does not have a substantial guarantee we do not offer it for sale, either within our showrooms or on the internet.
Price promise
At Bathroom Emporium we aim to bring you the world’s largest collection of top brand bathroom products at the most competitive prices in the UK and our knowledgeable sales staff guarantee you the best deal possible.
If you see any identical products advertised cheaper anywhere in the UK, tell us and we will endeavour to beat the price.
Choices
In addition to a vast array of Bathroom, Cloakroom and Shower suites within our Emporium, our portfolio also includes an enormous selection of bespoke wet room concepts, walk in showers, space saving bathroom and shower suites, cast iron and steel bathtubs, power showers and many more items too numerous to list.
Accessories also include a huge selection of tiles, bathroom ceilings, under floor heating, bathroom scales, heated towel radiators, specialist bathroom lighting, bathroom mirrors and cabinets and in-bathroom T.V. to name but a few.
Within our web pages you will see many collections of bathroom ware photographed together as suites.
However these are only ideas based upon some of the most popular product combinations previously selected and in most cases you can feel free to select your own personalised combination by mixing and matching your favourite pieces.
The only exceptions are selected special offers and clearance lines.
And of course our in house designers will be only too pleased to work with you on your specific requirements using the latest computer aided design technology in order to ensure the best possible design layout for your dream bathroom.

Deliveries
We operate a national delivery service using our own vehicles operated by friendly expert drivers trained in the handling of bathroom ware, therefore eliminating the risk of damage often incurred at distribution hubs operated by national carriers.
Because there are no carriers involved there are no packaging pallets left at your doorstep for you to dispose of either.
Our vehicle operators offer a courteous efficient service with booked deliveries so we do not ask you to wait around all day for your delivery.
Each vehicle is fitted with satellite navigation and the drivers are contactable throughout the day.
Reputation
Despite various marketing campaigns over the years which would include television advertising on Channel four, Granada Television and Border Television, we are pleased to be able to announce that we still achieve more sales through word of mouth recommendation than any advertising media used to date.
We are very proud of this fact as we believe that reputation is everything.
Our premises
Our vast showrooms occupy the first and second floors of our 45,000 square foot, five storey former Silk Mill.
Built some one hundred and forty years ago it is now the oldest Silk Mill in the UK and the oldest ‘mechanical’ Silk Mill in Europe and only ceased functioning as a Silk Mill in the late 1960’s.
The remaining three upper floors of the building, along with additional warehousing elsewhere, house over £2m of stock available for immediate delivery.
