Wickes Launches 300 New Bathroom Products
As spa themed bathrooms continue to be a leading trend for 2023, Wickes is adding over 300 new products to its Wickes Bespoke Bathroom offering, allowing homeowners to effortlessly transform bathrooms into a tranquil space. Including furniture and designs from brands like Abode, Mira, Triton and Duarti by Calypso, shoppers will be able to achieve their bathroom aspirations at Wickes this summer.
The latest bathroom ranges introduce everything from rainfall shower heads, antique brass taps, and LED mirrors, to atmospheric lighting and practical towel rails. Staying on top of interior trends the retailer has revealed bathroom products with a black finish now account for 20% of sales.
For shower lovers, the electric shower is getting a makeover this year with the Triton Envi Digital Electric Shower (from £439). Revolutionising the bathroom experience, users can decide precise temperature control via the sleek smart interface, ensuring a comfortable showering experience every time. Shoppers can even create personalised profiles, setting the shower to the desired temperature at just the touch of a button.
For those who prefer to unwind with the help of a relaxing bath, shoppers will be able to immerse themselves in pure luxury with the Trojan Charlton 14 Jet Whirlpool Inset Bath with Airspa & LED Light (£2,700). This high-tech bath is designed to transform bathtime into a soothing and rejuvenating experience, with LED lights and up to 26 air and water jets expertly designed to massage and soothe tired muscles.
And for those wanting the best of both worlds with a bath and shower combo, switching out traditional taps for a wall mounted bath mixer will give bathers better control over water temperature, while also keeping bath ledges clean and tidy. For extra style points, the Abode Wall Mounted Basin or Bath Mixer (from £275) is available in a chrome or brushed brass finish to enhance the aesthetic and practicality of any bathroom.
Layered lighting is key for creating a spa like feel. Why not add a warm glow to the bathroom with LED integrated mirrors in new trend-led designs. From pill shaped to art deco styles, make a design statement with the Sensio Spiro Mirror (£399). This etched finish mirror will add ambience and style to any bathroom sanctuary.
Following the retailer being announced as the UK’s most prominent bathroom brand[1], sitting alongside the products are three new Wickes Bespoke Bathroom styles; Warm Minimal, Piazza, and Parisian. Combining natural materials and soft lighting, Warm Minimal brings a softer side to the minimalism trend while, for a timeless design, the Piazza suite introduces the terrazzo trend to the bathroom. Or for a more romantic inspired look, the Parisian bathroom uses parquet flooring, beading on the walls and deep blue paint to evoke a sense of calming luxury.

Paul Bangs, Wickes Category Director, Kitchens, Bathrooms and Tiles says: “From bath mixers to art deco inspired mirrors, style remains at the forefront of shopper’s minds. With over 300 new products added to the Wickes bathroom range, there’s something for every household.”
If that’s not enough, shoppers looking to transform their bathroom can use Wickes complete design and installation service. Expert Design Consultants will provide a free design service including a home visit, to do a precise measure, as well as to discuss ideas and styles. Customers will be presented with a 360 design of their reimagined space, to ensure they can visualise their dream bathroom.
