The UK’s biggest bathroom specialist has appointed administrators at BDO, which said the retailer would continue to trade for now in the hope it could be sold as a going concern but no offers have been received yet.
Ryan Grant, the joint administrator, said: “Despite significant investment into the business over the past five years, Bathstore has struggled to overcome the well-documented challenges facing the UK retail sector.
“The appointment was made after several months of difficult trading and the failure of ongoing talks to find a buyer for the business. Bathstore is continuing to trade in administration while the administrators seek a buyer.”
Bathstore should be able to fulfill most outstanding customer orders and sales are being made in store, but all installation services have stopped, the joint-administrator added.
