The Kerryman (South Kerry Edition)
Fitting beautiful bathrooms and wet rooms at a reasonable price
BATHROOMS 4U has a very simple business model” according to Alan O’Sullivan the company’s founder and CEO, “we design, supply and fit beautiful bathrooms, wet-rooms and shower rooms at a reasonable price. And we do it in just five days”.
From its original base in Tralee, Co Kerry, B4U has rapidly grown into one of Ireland’s leading suppliers of bathrooms. The Kerry man is justifiably proud of his company’s success but is quick to point out that it is based on hard work and attention to detail.
“Our clients love our approach to building bathrooms because we have very high standards when it comes to craftsmanship and efficiency. We’re very conscious of the upheaval renovations can cause, so our tradesmen operate in a thoughtful manner and reduce the disturbance to a minimum by treating each job as if they’re working in their own homes”. On any given day B4U has five fully trained and equipped teams working in homes throughout the country. All jobs are unique, but Alan explains that they follow a similar pattern.
“Our installation crews start by stripping out and properly disposing of the old bathroom before fitting the new luxury replacement. All the plumbing, fitting, wiring, tiling and painting is carried out to a fixed work schedule, typically five days, and the finished the result is not only guaranteed to delight but is also guaranteed for a year.”
He is as enthusiastic about the initial design stage as he is about the actual build. “Of course we also pay as much attention to the fun side of the project. Our friendly showroom staff guide clients through the incredible array of fixed- price, complete bathroom packages we have on offer or help them with the design process should they wish to create something completely bespoke. Whichever approach they decide to take, they can be assured that their new bathroom will feature the best of modern sanitary ware and coordinated tiles, along with complimentary designer furniture and lighting. All told, this results in quality make-overs at fantastic prices which, by no coincidence, is our company slogan.”
