Bathroom City's New Website Launch!


We’ve been pretty silent in the blogosphere for just over a month now so first off we’d like to say sorry to all of our regular readers.

If you were wondering where we’d gone there is no need to look far as we’ve been working long and hard on the development of our brand new website which has now launched!

Presuming you have clicked the above link and returned to this blog, not getting too caught up in the worldly bathroom delights our new site delivers; we’ll continue grovelling due to our lack of blogging and also tell you how great the new website is.

After months of living off energy drinks, shouting and midnight kebabs as we worked long into the night, our new website is finally finished, but don’t be fooled, this is just the beginning.

We can finally start enjoying talking about bathrooms again after a long stint of screaming with blood shot eyes at our monitors plastered with freestanding baths that won’t upload in the early hours of the morning.

Before we start writing about the latest trends in bathroom chic, we’ll start by telling you about our lovely new site and how it will now benefit our buyers.

www.bathroomcity.co.uk now provides a system where you can buy your entire suite online and have it delivered directly to your door. Gone are the days of placing your order online and then having to call during office hours to confirm and pay for your order.

This new functionality supplies a wealth of obvious advantages to our customers, making it easy for you to shop online any time of the day, make a payment online and take advantage of the exclusive offers on our website.

Our new website is also much easier to use then before, allowing you to shop by category, by brand or by directly using the search bar to find precisely what you’re after, great for those who need a particular product and don’t want to waste their time scanning an entire website with a fine tooth comb.

As ever, Bathroom City has focussed a lot on our beloved brands as we feel it’s important to promote the quality each of our featured brands offers, as well as being able to offer unique reductions on certain products thanks to our close relationship with leading manufacturers.

So there you have it, the new Bathroom City website, the new home to the best brands, home grown furniture designs and competitive pricing, amazingly simply to use and pretty good to look at too might we add.

Now all you’ve got to do is visit the website and see what you think. Got a bathroom remodel in mind? 
Maybe you’d like a few accessories to spice up your current suite? Whatever you desire, Bathroom City has a solution with a wealth of stunning furniture, showers, baths, whirlpools, taps and accessories on hand to be purchased at your convenience.

Iconic Hot Tubs is Officially Open!

After a few hard months of basking in various hot tubs in order to really get to grips with the technology and features (it really has been hard) Iconic Hot Tubs is finally open to the public.

Our launch on Saturday June 29th saw the general public take their first glance at the only hot tub showroom in Birmingham, situated in our Bathroom City showroom in Tyseley, Birmingham.

Iconic Hot Tubs is home to a handful of the best premium hot tubs from world renowned designer and manufacturer, Coast Spas.

We chose Coast Spas as a supplier as their honest approach to designing the best possible hot tubs mirrors our honest approach to selling.

Each of our hot tubs in the showroom; the SC 731, Zenith and Cascade V, offers a number of different hydrotherapy solutions, whether you have a particular ailment that needs daily attention or are looking for a large hot tub to enjoy with your family and friends.

Complete with relaxing surrounds, our showroom oozes the hypnotising ambience of the hot tub lifestyle, along with friendly consultants who love to talk about hot tubs, so feel free to ask any questions!

Check out our website www.iconichottubs.com to view some of the hot tubs we have an offer or come and pay us a visit and we can discuss your dream spa.

Luxury Hot Tubs - SC7-31

Despite NorthWind Hot Tubs paving the way for competitively priced luxury hot tubs, the SC7-31 from Silhouette Spas is the most affordable hot tub on display in our showroom. At just £4???, don’t let the price fool you, this hot tub is as indulgent as it is reasonably priced.

Packing 31 swirl jets, shoulder jets and 15 stainless steel air blower jets, the SC7-31 delivers an in depth hydrotherapy massage with several unique functions controlled by its digital push button balboa controls. 
The SC7-31 from Silhouette Spas 

If sumptuous hydro-massage wasn't enough, the SC7-31 packs 2 waterfalls which allow water to cascade down your neck and shoulders, not to mention the integral pillows which result in a truly relaxing experience.

In addition to the comfort the range of jets and waterfalls deliver, the robust construction of the SC7-31 is certainly worth mentioning, especially as some people may relate the low price with poor quality of craftsmanship.

This is far from the case with any of our hot tubs, and this designer product incorporates the best components including Heatmax insulation and an ABS bottom floor with a shell that can be finished in snow white, sterling silver, pearl shadow and cameo.

Also, the vast range of skirting options available that can match the shell, make the hot tub an individual design exclusive to our customer, with skirtings available in clear cedar, black cedar, grey cedar, redwood cedar, unstained cedar, chestnut synthetic or grey synthetic.

With space for up to 6 adults, the Silhouette spas SC1-31 is excellent value for money, supplying luxury at a low price with several features which mirror more expensive designs.


For more information and a look at our other products available online please visit www.iconichottubs.com or come and visit our showroom in Birmingham and experience the spa lifestyle first hand.   

Luxury Hot Tubs - Zenith

After delving into the unique and relaxing features that our Cascade V Horizon hot tub provides, we’re going to take a look at the multitude of features our Zenith hot tub has on offer.

The Zenith hot tub from NorthWind Hot Tubs promises the next level in comfort and style, with multi level seating which allows for up to 6 adults to bathe with plenty of space for everyone to relax.

To compliment the clever seating arrangement, the Zenith hot tub is complete with NorthWind pillows and extra large footwells, the ultimate indulgence.

As well as its ergonomic design, no hot tub is complete without a range of features to create the ultimate relaxing ambience.
The Zenith hot tub is on display in our showroom
The Zenith is home is to 40 SS swirl jets recessed into the shell with easy to use stainless steel digital controls which control the waters activity, giving you, your family and friends an unrivalled relaxation experience.

As with all of our hot tubs, the Zenith is available in a range of stunning shell colours including snow white, pearl shadow, sterling silver and cameo, as well as skirtings in black cedar, grey cedar, clear cedar, redwood cedar, unstained cedar, chestnut synthetic and grey synthetic.

What separates NorthWind Hot Tubs from other brands on the market is the price, with each hot tub packing an abundance of features at a competitive rate; the stylish collection is certainly one of the best in terms of value for money.

One of our favourite features of the Zenith hot tub is its underwater lighting which creates a real 
tropical spa feel, exactly the sort of atmosphere you need to unwind after a hard day.


The Zenith hot tub from NorthWind is readily available in our showroom Tyseley, Birmingham, so come and pay us a visit after our launch on June 29th and see all its unique features for yourself, plus much more.

The Hot Tub Diet


The media is often the harbinger of 101 fad diets, miracle workouts and ‘get a six pack by eating pizza’ related ideas, and more often then not they can be worked into the average lifestyle with some effect.

With all the work going on in our showroom developing the latest extension to Bathroom City, our hot tub department we’ve been looking into some of the not so obvious benefits of owning a hot tub and stumbled upon this unusual approach to dieting. 

The hot tub diet allows enthusiastic dieters to ditch the treadmill and small meals for relaxing and personal thinking time, a much easier option that apparently is even more effective, according to the author of the Hot Tub Diet book, Bridget Praytor.

Check out the article from The Mail Online if sitting engulfed in warm massaging bubbles sounds like your kind of exercise.

Stay up to date with our blog, Facebook and Twitter (@bathroomcity) to find out more about the developments of Bathroom City’s latest hot tub venture. 

Anne's Retirment


Since 1986 Bathroom City has gone from strength to strength, continually expanding even during the country’s economical climate.

Even when other companies have been forced to downsize their workforce, Bathroom City has always and is currently looking to grow the team further.

Unfortunately, even when striving to provide jobs for the local community and remain at the forefront of the bathroom market, Bathroom City is having to wave goodbye to one of its longest serving employees.

Anne McGuire has worked at Bathroom City’s Amington Road showroom as a sales advisor for the last 24 years, and throughout her time has made a wealth of friends and gained many stories to tell.

One of the most outrageous being the time she floated along a ford to work! Anne is renowned for being punctual but one morning she was made late for work because her taxi drove into a ford.

Despite the vehicle being waterlogged, Anne still followed correct procedure and made a phone call to fellow Bathroom City employee Paul telling him she’d be late.

After being rescued from the ford, Anne made it into work, stuck her soaking tights on the radiator and carried on with her day.

Anne and her Bathroom City family
“Anne came in carrying my sandwiches, even though they were soaking! She just got on with her day as normal…never clocked in though!”

Bathroom City gave Anne the send off she deserved on Sunday, having a get together at a local social club.

Anne was overwhelmed with the party and it was great for Bathroom City staff to get together outside of work for a drink or two and see Anne off in style.

Our beloved Anne is now retiring to spend more time with her husband and start work in her home and garden.

Good luck Anne and thank you for the memories!
