Are DIY Superstores Good Value For Money?

In the B&Q bathrooms catalogue are their Leonato walk in baths. These are exactly the same baths as the Satin and Sierra baths from Practical Bathing.

Now most people might assume that a large DIY superstore would have the buying power to offer products at very low prices, but the Leonato walk-in baths are £200-£240 more expensive than the same baths from Practical Bathing.

These baths are classed as VAT exempt when sold to a qualifying end user, yet B&Q do not seem to offer VAT exemption to purchasers. As Practical Bathing is a specialist mobility bathroom company, it is presumed that the purchaser will be VAT exempt so the process is made very simple for the claimant.

So Why Buy From Practical Bathing?


As mobility specialists, Practical Bathing can offer a wide selection of baths, showers and toileting solutions. We supply products and services to many customers - including charities and individuals - without having to add VAT. If you suffer from the following conditions, you may be eligible. Please see more information on the vat exemption page of our website.
