My guy and I have decided to remodel our bathroom. Our flat is not quite 10 years old, but our…read morebathroom, although quite modern and done up, is not exactly to our taste, so it's project time. Not having the first clue about remodeling, we decided to leave it to the experts. On a typical winter day (pouring rain in fact), we shuffled in to the Bathstore just before the worst of the weather hit. We were greeted by three men sitting behind the reception desk working away on other people's dream bathrooms. We suggested we were going to have a wander around, but that we were in to buy, so we would want to sit down with them at some point. We were given a booklet of ideas and were told about the sales on at the moment, and were given our space to wander the showroom without being bothered. There's a lot here to look at. If you're looking to replace or remodel your current bathroom, this is a great place to start. They have all sorts of tubs, taps, showers and accessories available for your dream bathroom. Since our bathroom is quite big and a randomly odd shape, we (luckily) came with measurements and pictures to help James (the guy helping us) make up a quick blueprint of our bathroom so we could add things to our liking. Having had a system update recently, all the guys there were saying that it would take a few extra minutes to get used to their new systems, but we weren't in any rush to get back in to the rain, so we were ok with the wait. We were offered a tea/coffee and it was warm in the show room, so it was a nice experience. All the guys there were friendly and had chatty banter. We all had a few laughs. We were able to have a hands on experience where we could actually design and pick out exactly what we want, down to the exact placement of tiles and the direction our tub will be situated. It was a really fun experience! We decided we are going to replace our tub and shower, floor tiles and the back splash behind the tub. We were given a price and a timeline as to when instillation would happen, we put down a 33% deposit of the total price, scheduled for the installer to come take exact measurements and we were on our way out the door. Super simple process. After chatting last night, we decided we might go ahead and replace the toilet and the sink as well, just to have a completely new bathroom. Get in! This experience with Bathstore was a great one. I would highly recommend anyone needing anything bath related to check out this shop. Loads of very knowledgeable staff, friendly and inviting. I can't wait to go back in after the installer come out so we can finalise plans and get this job done!

We're on a bit of a house-renovation mission so popped into Bathstore for a browse while we were in…read morethe home-area of GWR. Bathstore is a good sized shop with tonnes of displays so you can get some ideas and inspiration which is just what we were looking for. Generally, their range is really nice and they have all the bathroom stuff you could need, including floor and wall tiles which means we didn't need to go somewhere else. Their catalogue is quite thick too meaning there's plenty of choice around. We were just browsing and so we were pretty much left to our own devices which is fine. I'm sure we'll be back again for another look once we settle on the colour scheme we're going for. Prices seem quite reasonable with the limited research I've done so far!

For this place, please refer to my review of Carpet Right. You see, they are extremely similar and…read morebasically the same shop but selling different products. Carpet Right sells....drum roll - carpets (amongst other flooring types) and Harry Corry...slightly more - or less - imaginatively named (?) sells curtains. Well, not just curtains - it's kind of a limited home interior shop that focuses on fabrics and accessories. For instance curtains, bed spreads, lighting and cushions. So, it's nice and does it's deed. The range of products and stock is mesmerising - all sorts of colours and patterns can be found here; some are even pretty nice. The prices are extremely reasonable. The staff are easily to locate, pleasant, helpful and know their stock extremely well. So it's always a pleasure and never stressful. However, I'm not a fan of curtains (it's the age of the blinds after all) or cushions (don't even get me started - all they do is take up space and get in the way). Bedding and lighting I can appreciate but once you've got a few decent sets/items of these you don't really need more - do you? Thus, I'm not entirely sure if this place's purpose is entirely required. Yet, it's a great shop for what it is and obviously from time to time these items are needed. In these instances, I'd rather buy them from here than face Homebase or Asda that that shoddier 'shoved on' departments of these items. Therefore, well worth a visit if you're in need of a cushion (see it just don't sound right?) or other home int

Of course, a kitchen design is rarely exciting, but after spending five minutes in here, I wonder how I can actually make food in that shambles of white goods and peeling surfaces that seems to be in my house. The service is professional and comprehensive, with real attention to deal and a swift timetable for installation.

My blinds were fitted by the son Philip after been given advice and shown many many materials by mum Mary. Kitchen worktop and sink and fittings were planned by dad James. I got back in touch last week and asked if they could make me cushions in the material and similar to my lounge blinds, they were made up in beatiful materials and cushions were duck down, really pleased with the result. Im now thinking...what else can I get them to help me with! Fab professional family business. well done the Kellys!

They have an amazing range of vinyls, linos (?) and all other cold floor coverings in an array of colours and patterns. I'm not that into my DIY and luckily the staff in here and really friendly and gave me very clear instructions on how to lay some vinyl (or something) in my tiny bathroom. After much huffing, puffing, the odd swear word and a bottle of red wine it was done! Good job done all round! The prices are very reasonable, there's a wide range of stock and they are also open seven days. Top marks.

Indeed, this is the world of all things door like (aka eh...doors). Having lived above it for…read morealmost a year and never witnessing anyone but employees or delivery men entering this place, I'm slightly confused as to how it has managed to stay in business this long. By 'this long' I mean, a considerable time; seen as the first thing my day said when I moved into the flat was - 'oh next to that door place? I remember passing that on my way to work in [something along the British Steel lines but not as old as that]..'. Needless to say, it's an institution for locals who have walked or bus-ed past in for years. However, I reckon it's success is really down to all those DIY enthusiasts, renovators and consumer loving individuals around. I don't know much about doors but the staff were super friendly, very knowledgeable and just genuinely lovely. So, if you need a door then this is definitely somewhere you should visit. If you don't buy one here (God forbid) then at least you'll pick up some jargon and have an idea or what kind of price you should expect to get elsewhere.
