Online Bathroom Stores vs Traditional Showrooms
With virtually an infinite number of bathroom accessories and products available to purchase online, we appreciate that you could easily start to feel overwhelmed with the sheer volume of options to choose from.
On the other hand, when you visit a large Bathroom Showroom in Plymouth, you can expect a stress-free experience, where you can take your time to curate your perfect bathroom, without any pushy “buy now” and sales tactics.
Let’s delve into more detail about why you should visit a Bathroom Showroom instead of shopping online.
Experience the Tactility of the Products Firsthand
The great thing about visiting a large Bathroom Showroom in Plymouth, or anywhere else in the UK for that matter, is that you get to feel the genuine quality of sample products on display firsthand. You can experience the textures and the weight of the taps, basins, cabinets, handles, showers, and other accessories.
Whether you prefer chrome, stainless steel, matte black, or brushed nickel finishes, you’ll be able to genuinely see what the colours look like in real life, in a real bathroom environment. You can even stand in the shower or sit in the bathtub to see if you’re comfortable with the space. This way, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting before you make a purchase.
Online photos can often be misleading, and it can be difficult to tell what they will look or feel like until they’ve been delivered to your home. Then you’ll have the hassle of returning the items if they aren’t up to scratch and potentially paying for return postage.
Proven Quality That You Know You Can Trust
With online bathroom stores, you might find hundreds of thousands of products on one website alone – but quantity certainly doesn’t mean quality. Meanwhile, Bathroom Showrooms have a reputation to uphold, and they won’t recommend a product unless they know that it will last.
For example, at our large Bathroom Showroom in Plymouth, we only use quality brands we know and recommend, whilst keeping your budget in mind. Over the years, we have tested most brands on the market and narrowed our selection to those that offer a combination of excellent quality, extensive warranties, reliable aftercare, and good value for money.
Talk to the Experts in Person
When trying to plan what design layout or products to choose, you’ll have the opportunity to talk to the staff in person, if you visit a Bathroom Showroom. They will provide tailored advice and recommendations for your unique space, helping you make those all-important decisions. You can have in-depth discussions about the best options to suit both your budget and your functionality needs.
In fact, they can even visit your home to complete a site survey, accurately measuring everything and assessing the room for any potential adaptations that may be required. This way, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that any products you choose will perfectly fit your space and be compatible with your plumbing, heating, and electrical requirements.
In contrast, online bathroom stores often have minimal support and can make it difficult to contact them. They might have a live chat that just connects you to an AI bot, long wait times for phone calls, or even longer wait times if you have to email them. They won’t be there to offer expert advice and tailored suggestions – you’re pretty much on your own for this one!
Visualise & Design Your Dream Bathroom
When you visit a large Bathroom Showroom in Plymouth, you benefit from being inspired by real-life installations to see how the colours, textures, and finishes complement each other. If you’re stuck for ideas, seeing a bathroom installation in situ can help you imagine the possibilities for your own space.
What’s more, with photo-realistic design software, you can literally see your dream bathroom come to life before your eyes. Once you have discussed your requirements, budget, schedule, and design ideas, a bathroom designer can take the time to create a tailored proposal that beautifully fits your needs.
When buying online, you will be working with a blank canvas, which can be difficult to visualise. Once all the parts have arrived in the post, it might be a bit like trying to put the pieces of a puzzle together, only to find that some of the pieces are from a different puzzle altogether!
Comprehensive Support
Once you have designed your dream bathroom and chosen all of the accessories you want to include, you won’t be left on your own after purchasing your bathroom from a showroom. With a hand-picked team of installers and tradespeople, everything will be taken care of for you, and you can rest assured that your Bathroom Installation will be completed to the highest standards.
Whilst we use only industry-leading brands with long product warranties, we understand that things can occasionally go wrong. At a Bathroom Showroom, you can rest assured that you received exceptional aftercare, with someone on hand to put things right.
With online shopping, you don’t benefit from an extra touch of customer care. Once you’ve received your items, it’s up to you to find a trusted tradesman to install your bathrooms. Additionally, if something goes wrong, you might not have anyone to help you, and it may be too late to do anything once your bathroom has been installed.
