Bathrooms 4U – Quality make-overs, amazing prices!

Bathrooms4U has developed and grown into one of Irelands most recognisable brands. From the quality delivered to the infamous yellow duck, you are never in doubt as to the brand. Recently, company owner, Alan O Sullivan took on the decision to open a brand new HQ premises in Manor West. I sat with Alan to chat about how that has been for him.

Alan, the new HQ is a welcome addition to Manor West, what prompted you to go ahead with the move?
The move to Manor was a very welcome and an overdue one! It’s an 8,000sq ft premises which has allowed us to finally have the showroom that represents Bathrooms4U. The main purpose was to provide a bigger retail showroom to sell the product directly to the customer, to give them the option to call in and see for themselves exactly what we have to offer. Be it a shower or a hot tub, we would like customers to be able to get a feel for products as opposed to buying from a website. This premises will allow us to expand our operations in Kerry while establishing it as our new business headquarters. Over the years I have opened premises in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Kerry so to bring our HQ to its permanent residence in Tralee is something I am proud of. I have worked tirelessly to build a brand that I can be proud of.

What do you think has been behind the success of Bathrooms4U?
I take great pride in that I trained and produced some of my top competitors, which is fantastic for the customer to keep a sense of healthy competition, but Bathrooms4U has remained first and foremost, Irelands top bathroom fitting and supply service, something I am immensely proud of. I have kept it a standalone brand, not linking in with other companies because it is important for me that I can stand over and guarantee all works carried out in a customer’s home or premises. When you buy into Bathrooms4U, you are buying into a company and product that is steeped in experience and expertise. I personally have over 30 years’ experience in the profession, my company director, Seamus Scanlon has over 20 years with me, our higher end staff have over 100 years combined experience and there really is no price on that. Our front of house staff and team leaders have developed a strong infrastructure that I can proudly promote to every customer that comes through our doors.

Can you tell our readers why they should come to Bathrooms4U?
Budgeting and planning are our two biggest strengths. We have a warehouse of over 100,000sq ft of storage so from the moment we turn up to a job, we have every piece of material needed to get straight to work and have it done within the 5-day turn around that we have become well known for. We build and pack your job in our warehouse so there will be no incidence of tradesmen disappearing for hours on end to get extra materials. We work on private premises, businesses and hotel refurbishments. I am a business man, but I am also compassionate, with that said I am privileged to offer free design, planning and consultation on every mobility bathroom. When people come to a stage of their life or disability when they recognise the need to take steps to make the day-to-day physical activities more manageable, it can be an expensive undertaking. So if I can ease that burden by offering that part of the project for free, I am happy to do so. I would like to extend an invitation to all readers at Connect to call up to the store and take a browse, you are not obliged to purchase but do call up and see what we are about. If you have any questions or are contemplating a bathroom renovation, our expert staff and sales team will be only too happy to help.
