We accept most major debit and credit cards.
Orders can be placed via the telephone with a member of our sales team or on our secure website. You will receive by email a confirmation that your order has been received. The confirmation gives notice that your order has been received. The confirmation does not indicate that a contract exists between us at this point. When the dispatch notification is sent or at the point that Red Bathrooms telephones you to arrange delivery (whichever occurs soonest) is the point of contract. This term is included to protect Red Bathrooms in the event that a pricing error has been made, or we are no longer able to supply the goods for a particular reason. If there is an amendment to pricing, we will contact you to ensure that this is acceptable. Order confirmations will be sent within 24 hours of point of order. (Excluding weekend, bank holidays or any other business closure dates).
Delivery Charges
Shipping and Handling: We will deliver your goods with our own driver or by a courier of our choice. Some areas of the UK do incur an extra delivery cost these include off shore destinations for example Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. Other areas include certain parts of Scotland. Examples include Inverness and Aberdeenshire and postcodes beginning with IV, KW, PA, AB, DD, PH and certain PO postcodes. Please refer to the drop down bar at point of order for delivery costs (not all destinations are listed). Destinations that are not listed but incur extra delivery costs will be contacted by our Dispatch Team to discuss any additional costs. Delivery Schedule – We shall endeavour to deliver your goods within a quick timescale as we carry many items in stock. In the event of a delay we shall contact you to discuss the potential turnaround, if this is for any reason not acceptable a full refund will be offered.
Smaller items
These will be dispatched to the address of your choice and generally require a signature as confirmation of receipt.
Larger Items
We will endeavour to deliver larger items using a two man delivery service. The delivery team will ensure that wherever viable they will bring the goods into your property to a ground floor room with clear and unrestricted access. For areas not covered by the two man delivery service the goods are delivered on a pallet. Please see the paragraph below. You will receive communication via telephone to confirm a delivery date working hours for the 2 man delivery service is between 7.30am and 8pm (Saturdays may differ). Prior to the agreed delivery date, you will receive communication by either email or text, advising you of a delivery slot. Please ensure that all the contact information that you provide is for mobile telephone numbers and email addresses that are checked on a regular basis. This is to ensure that you are fully aware of your delivery status. If a delivery date is agreed and no-one is available to accept the goods, there may be a charge for re-delivery. Larger items that are delivered on a faster turnaround such as next working day deliveries will be sent via a pallet network company. This type of delivery is delivered by one man only and is brought to the nearest viable entry point to your property. Please ensure that a person capable of assisting with the delivery, i.e. some who can move the items onwards to a suitable storage point is present as some goods can be awkward or heavy to handle due to their size. Please ensure that someone is available as agreed, as re-delivery of goods may be chargeable. With heavy items the driver will wait while the goods are checked please ensure that you check the goods at point of delivery or within a reasonable period after this.
Receipt of Goods
Most items that we dispatch require a signature therefore we ask that a responsible person takes receipt of the goods. Couriers are unable to leave goods with a minor. Larger items that are sent on a next, working day delivery will be delivered to the nearest viable point. For example if it is a block of flats the main entrance door. Please ensure in this type of situation that the person present is able to deal with the delivery including moving it to its final destination, i.e. inside the property as this type of delivery is delivered generally by one man only.
Goods Received Condition and Shortages
Please ensure that you check your delivery to ensure that all items are present. Shortages should be reported immediately in order that we can rectify them for you, shortages must be reported with a 24 hour period of receiving the delivery.

Items that are delivered must be inspected as thoroughly as possible at point of delivery to ensure that they are correct and intact. Glass and ceramic items must be checked at point of delivery before giving a signature for them as any damages cannot be rectified after this point.

WEE Regulations - WEEE Regulations:
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge. The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK. Much of the UK’s WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health. Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill. Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites. RedBathrooms are obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us. For example, if a customer bought a new electric shower from us we would accept their old electric shower and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item. Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.
