BetterBathrooms, the country’s largest independent bathroom retailer, has called in administrators.<\/p>\n

The bath, tiles and decorating chain has 13 showrooms and two trade counters across the UK, all of which have closed its doors and ceased trading.<\/p>\n

FRP Advisory was appointed as joint administrators on Friday.<\/p>\n

Joint administrator Phil Pierce said the company “suffered from severe cashflow difficulties and an extended period of soft trading”.<\/p>\n

Administrators said 10 employees would be kept on temporarily to help wind-up the business, but 325 employees were made redundant.<\/p>\n

Mr Pierce said they would be working with affected staff to support their claims through the Redundancy Payments service.<\/p>\n

BetterBathrooms’ customers were predicting its demise earlier on Twitter today after delays to their deliveries.<\/p>\n

Mr Pierce said:”We know that customers will also be particularly concerned, and they should email Betterbathrooms@frpadvisory.com with their details. We will be writing to all customers as soon as possible”. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
