FEET
http://www.feet-international.co.uk
Unlikely sounding name of warehouse tucked away in Rotherhithe where you'll find some gorgeous designer bathware and tiles at up to 70% off high street prices. Wooden baths, glass sinks, walk in Jacuzzi units and more. Some great stuff here.
Broken Bog
Supposedly the largest collection of bathware in the world – very clever service providing replacement bathroom items from discontinued ranges in all the old colours and styles. So if you’re on a budget or having a retro moment…
Croydex
Has a massive range of all the practical stuff - mirrored bathroom cabinets, bath mats, shower curtains, soap caddies and much more. The storage units are particularly good.
Adamsez
Some seriously good looking and well made baths - very much for the cognoscenti and surprisingly well priced for the quality. I particularly like the freestanding range, where you’ll find both space saving designs and tubs big enough for all the kids at once.
Victoria Plumb
http://www.victoriaplumb.co.uk
Online bathware retailer with very competitively priced, good looking bathware, ranging from Victorian style to uber modern. You can buy anything from a complete bathroom suite to a simple shower head.
Dolphin
http://www.dolphinbathrooms.co.uk
Offering a complete bathroom solution, Dolphin is a good option if you want one company to take care of everything for you, from tiles to taps. Hassle free one stop shop, with a nationwide network of reps that can come to you, so no schlepping round the shops on a Saturday.

Wickes
Surprisingly good range of well priced white bathware, with some wow factor baths. The modern ranges are the star turn, with clean lines and some sharp styling. It’s where the builders buy.
CP Hart's Outlet Centre
Upmarket, stylish bathware (freestanding baths a particular strength)- and if you go round the back of the London based Waterloo showroom, you’ll find the outlet centre with some gratifyingly reduced pieces.
