Homebase/Bathstore bathroom suites, stores and services
Founded in 1979, Homebase has more than 150 stores across the UK and Ireland, many of which have bathroom showrooms – click the 'Stores' button on the website to find your nearest branch.
Homebase acquired Bathstore in 2019 after it fell into administration. But until mid-2023, the Bathstore website had still been operating separately to the Homebase site, but this has since closed and now redirects to homebase.co.uk.
Many of the baths, toilets, sinks and taps it sells are Bathstore-branded, but it also sells products from other leading brands such as Duravit, as well as from its own Homebase range. You can shop for complete suites or mix and match individual products across different ranges.
Homebase offers a range of electric, mixer and power showers from brands such as Aqualisa and Triton. It also sells shower enclosures, trays and screens, as well as bathroom furniture, paint, tiles and other DIY materials – everything you'd need to assemble and decorate your bathroom.
Although it doesn't offer an installation service, you can book a free virtual or in-store design consultation to guide you through the bathroom planning process. There's also a free online planning tool that you can use to help with your design.
