Westside Bathrooms

Westside Bathrooms: online retail backed by a long-standing bathroom business

Westside Bathrooms is the online retail arm of a family-founded bathroom company based in North East Lincolnshire. The website was launched in 2019 as an extension of the parent business, which was established in 1982 by current managing director Martin Smith. That original venture began as a small operation fitting and installing showers and bathrooms in the surrounding area and later grew into a shop and showroom. The parent company now describes itself as operating the largest bathroom showroom in North East Lincolnshire, having moved premises in 2005.

The online store, which the company describes as relatively new at three years old, draws on more than four decades of combined experience in the bathroom industry. It sells bathroom and showering products across a broad price range, from luxury to affordable, sourced from a list of named brands.
