Our story
Glenn and Michael at Bathrooms Express Sunderland
Glenn & Michael / Bathrooms Express, Sunderland

From Showermania to Bathrooms Express.

Between us, we've spent the best part of three decades helping people in the North East fit out their bathrooms. We started at Showermania, learned every job back-to-front, and eventually decided to do it our own way. That's how Bathrooms Express was born.

The idea was simple. Build the kind of place we'd want to walk into ourselves. Big showroom, real stock, honest prices. Knowledgeable staff who've actually fitted the kit. Trade counter at the back for the lads on the tools. Free home measure for anyone unsure where to start.

We do this because we love it. The right bathroom genuinely changes how a house feels to live in. We've seen it hundreds of times. And we're going to keep doing it the same way for the next 25 years.

Glenn, Michael & the team.
What we believe

No nonsense. No upsell.

01 / On the floor

The owners are here.

Glenn and Michael are in the showroom. Every day. You won't be passed off to a junior reading from a catalogue. Want a chat about layouts, brassware, or which boiler to fit? We'll have it.

02 / Honest advice

The right kit. Not the dearest.

We make a living because people come back and tell their mates. That doesn't happen if we flog you the wrong stuff. We'll tell you what fits the room, the budget and the use. Even if it costs us a sale.

03 / Real stock

What's on the floor is in the warehouse.

Not a website that promises and a four-week wait. We carry serious stock. Walk in, pick it, take it. Or have it delivered free, same-day or next-day, locally.

04 / North East roots

Sunderland-born. Sunderland-run.

Independent. Family-feel. Part of the wider ATKINSONS Group. We're not a national chain coordinating from a depot down south. We live here. Our customers are our neighbours.

Inside the operation

One showroom. Two counters. Three things we do.

01 / Showroom

Bathrooms, top to bottom.

Hundreds of suites, tiles, showers, brassware and storage on display. Not stock photos on a screen. Real product, real lighting, real water pressure.

02 / Trade counter

Plumbing & heating merchants.

Trade-only counter. Boilers, system parts, copper, plastic, sundries. The kit you need, in stock when you need it. Trade prices, account terms, free site delivery.

03 / Home service

Free measure, free delivery.

Unsure where to start? Book a free home measure. We'll come to you, take the dimensions, advise on layout. Then deliver it all to your door at no charge.
