WE brought you the news earlier last week that a new bathroom business had opened on the high street in Barrow.

Build A Bathroom opened on Dalton Road on February 17 with a shiny golden bathtub in the window which has been positioned to catch the eye of the public.

The store offers everything from heating to tiles and is run by Paul Harris and Simon Huitson, who have been friends for over 20 years.

Mr Harris said: “It’s a bit different from other places because as well as supplying stock and retail, we also offer installation.

“We can customise your whole bathroom from design to finish. There’s a can-do attitude; we don’t say no to anything or any design.”
