    From my first visit to the showroom to post bathroom refit the service from the team was exceptional. Elizabeth did a great job in assisting wirh the design and adjusting the it to match my budget. Their recommended fitters did an excellent job installing the bathroom: efficient, clean professional and helpful. If you are looking for a new bathroom, I'd recommend The Barh Works without hesitation. Their custoner service from start to finish was excellent.. Elizabeth did a super job managing the entire process. Thank you. My new bathroom is amazing.

    Great company, great people. The attention to detail is spot on, the finish is really clean, and you can tell they genuinely care about getting everything just right. If you want work done to a high standard and a team you can trust, I couldn’t recommend them enough. Also the VR headset they use to show you the design is really cool!

    The Bath Works in Southbourne were recommended to us by Adam Moss-Holland so we made an appointment with Lee in the store to talk about some initial designs etc. There are lots of displays in the store to give you some ideas and Lee’s excellent ideas, advice and guidance over the course of a number of design reviews enabled us to take a very old fashioned, dated, dark bathroom into a contemporary, light and fully functional smart tech enabled bathroom which has made a massive difference to us and our home. We had one very minor issue with the Aqualisa Smart shower post installation which Lee dealt with brilliantly and he even delivered a spare part from Aqualisa to our home himself on a Saturday afternoon that’s great Customer Service for you! Definitely recommend if you’re looking for helpful sound product knowledge and design advice, plus they are nice easy to deal with genuine people which is a great bonus. The install was done by Adam (AMH Bathrooms) and you can see a review of that on Google reviews complete with some before and after images.
