WHAT’S NEW?
TILE SUPPLIER MARKS 5TH ANNIVERSARY
WITH NEW SHOWROOM Fast-growing tile supplier Easy Bathrooms is marking its fifth anniversary with the launch of its 17th showroom — the latest in a string of openings as part of its ongoing store rollout programme.
Founded in Leeds on Boxing Day 2012, Easy Bathrooms has since launched stores across Yorkshire, the Midlands, and the North West, with its latest opening in Rotherham on 27th
December 2017.
The showroom will employ four people, following an investment of £100,000.
Over the past five years, the trade supplier has expanded rapidly and now employs 100 people, with eight more shops planned for the South of England in 2018.
The growing network of stores is being propelled by the firm’s focus on high quality products and customer service.
Neil Bell, Easy Bathrooms’ Head of Retail, said: “We encourage our trade clients to invite their own customers in-store to create a 3D plan of their bathroom with our design experts. This means that they can choose their own layouts and visualise how their
project could look, allowing fitters and developers to create a lasting impression on clients.
“It’s this level of service, alongside benefits such as trade discounts, next-day delivery and our unbranded brochures that impress clients and see us building excellent relationships with them.
“Our clients tell us that the demand for properties is there. The new home market is robust, and the trend we’re experiencing is that many developers are increasing the specifications of their properties. We have the high quality products available, and that’s why they’re coming to us with their requirements.
“A lot of people are also going down the self-build or renovation route, and this is mirrored by the fact that our tradespeople can be booked up for weeks in advance. We think this market strength will continue into 2018.”
Easy Bathrooms’ showrooms are open seven days a week and welcome trade buyers, with incentives offered to business account holders.
Earlier this year, the firm launched a 12,000 sq ft flagship showroom and 110,000 sq ft warehouse in Birstall, Leeds, to aid the company’s ongoing expansion plans.

FILAMARBLE AID
LAUNCHES IN THE UK FILA has launched a new protective treatment for natural stone surfaces. New FILAMARBLE AID is an odourless, solvent-free treatment that protects against the aggression of staining, blocking the damaging effects of acids, alkalines, stains and heat. It creates a natural-look polished barrier for stone, marble, limestone and travertine that won’t yellow, discolour or create an ‘acrylic’ look.
FILAMARBLE AID has a safe, water-based formulation with a low VOC content. It can be applied to new and existing surfaces where it ‘buys time’ by giving protection for up to 24 hours. Unlike traditional treatments, which are UV-cured and removed by grinding, the new protector is applied onto a clean dry surface, in two coats, with a short-hair applicator.
It
can then be easily removed, if necessary, with FILANOPAINT STAR and re-applied.
The new treatment is ideal for all bathroom and kitchen surfaces, and is certified safe for food preparation areas. As well as post installation application, it can also be applied ‘in-line’ as a factory finish, to give protection before fitting.
FILAMARBLE AID is a two- component treatment and it gives approximately 9.2 m2
of coverage
per 233 ml package. Specialist advice on application is available via FILA’s partner, Superior Stone.
