About The London Bath Co.
Franchisees offer top-end, fully managed bathroom design and installation using CAD (Computer Aided Design) software, with access to a high quality range of bathroom fittings and tiles, fitted by London Bath Co approved installers.
The company has extensive experience in installing and designing bespoke bathrooms across the UK. Customers trust The London Bath Co to transform dull spaces into beautiful, tranquil bathrooms.
The franchise opportunity is the vision of CEO and founder, Steven Baker, who created a highly profitable bathroom supply and installation business and then decided to expand the business further using the franchising business model.
How does the The London Bath Co franchise model work?

Successful franchisees can expect a full return on their investment within three years (after drawing a management salary from the business).

Why is The London Bath Co franchise a good investment?
British homeowners’ interest in installing and refurbishing their bathrooms to a high specification shows no signs of slowing and The London Bath Co has the benefit of decades of experience in the building sector and a pool of vetted installers.
The company is proud of the reputation it has established over the years. Franchisees get the backing of a well respected company, giving them the confidence to undertake multiple projects at the same time, while being able to make their mark with their own showroom and business.
The success of The London Bath Co is predominantly due to its fully managed installation process. Each installation is overseen by franchisees who stay in close contact with their clients throughout the entire development.
Utilising a team of high quality, experienced installers exclusively available to franchisees alleviates much of the risk of poor workmanship, meaning more chance of word of mouth referrals too.
Where in the UK is the franchise based?
The London Bath Co has its head office in Covent Garden, central London. The company’s main showroom is in Finchley Road, north London.
What support and training do The London Bath Co franchisees receive?
A superior training programme has been designed to equip franchisees with the skills to survey, measure and design a bathroom.
Franchisees are booked in to visit bathroom installations currently in progress and will learn how to survey, plan and create something with the wow factor or something that fits perfectly with the clients’ brief. They are taught how to achieve a good finish and what to check for when inspecting their own installations.
Training then begins in CAD software, so that franchisees can produce their own stunning 3D images of bathrooms. Having this particular skill helps franchisees engage with their clients on a design level, which builds confidence when it come to choosing someone to take them through the process.
After training is completed, franchisees will have their own personalised website and look forward to the grand opening of their high street boutique showroom.
Franchisees are guided through the entire franchising process by the dedicated support team at The London Bath Co headquarters, including identifying, securing and fitting out suitable premises to create a boutique showroom.
The finished showroom will showcase completed bathrooms that highlight The London Bathroom Co’s high quality finish and demonstrate the range of fixtures and fittings available.
What are The London Bath Co franchise terms of agreement and renewal?
The franchise fee of £40,000 is a one-off fee and secures a trading area for a period of 10 years. There is no additional fee to extend the franchise.
Running any successful business requires good management and sales skills and of course a desire to succeed. Franchisees come from a wide variety of backgrounds with differing skills and qualities.
While no experience is necessary, The London Bath Co looks for franchisees who can demonstrate good attention to detail, have effective management and people skills and, importantly, the ability to sell.
