Bathstore is a British bathroom brand which was originally the name of a company founded in 1990 by Nico de Beer and Patrick Riley in Croydon, South London. The company expanded nationally, reaching 160 showrooms by the mid-2010s.
In July 2019, Homebase rescued Bathstore’s intellectual property and 44 of the showrooms from administration. The final standalone Bathstore showroom would close in March 2022, as Homebase had focused on incorporating Bathstore showrooms inside its main store portfolio. In November 2024, Homebase itself entered administration. CDS Superstores (trading as The Range) rescued both the Homebase and Bathstore intellectual properties, selling Bathstore items through their re-launched Homebase.co.uk
Bathstore was brought into The Range stores from 26 September 2025, starting at the Milton Keynes branch.[1]
History
Bathstore was established in 1990 by Patrick Riley and Nico de Beer,[2] with the idea to bring quality design-led bathrooms to more customers. The company published one catalogue that contained all its products for the complete bathroom, with retail prices. The ethos was to focus on the homeowner, rather than the trade buyer.
