Insurance for Bathroom Equipment Retailers

Bathroom equipment retailing insurance is for shops, showrooms, trade counters and online retailers selling bathroom products. This can include toilets, basins, baths, shower trays, shower screens, taps, valves, cabinets, tiles, fixtures, fittings, accessories and related sanitaryware or plumbing products.

The right policy should reflect whether the business is retail-only, also provides bathroom design advice, imports or brands products, arranges deliveries, stores fragile stock, offers fitting referrals or carries out installation work.

Insurer Questions

  • What bathroom products are sold and what stock values are held?
  • Do you import, brand, relabel, repack or assemble products?
  • Do you provide design advice, measurements or installation recommendations?
  • Are goods delivered, installed, stored off site or sold online?
  • Do you use subcontractors, fitting partners or third-party couriers?

Stock, Showroom and Product Liability

Bathroom retailers often hold fragile, bulky and high-value stock. Buildings, contents, stock and product liability should be reviewed around sanitaryware, glass screens, taps, fittings, tiles, display units, trade collections and customer deliveries.

Design Advice and Installation Links

If the retailer also designs bathrooms, specifies products, surveys customer homes or arranges fitting, the policy may need to include professional indemnity and contractor-related covers. Installation work should be declared separately from retailing.
