About BCD

Founded in 2011, Bathroom Cladding Direct has been at the forefront of the UK's decorative wall panel evolution - helping turn a cheap alternative to tiles into a go-to option for bathroom decor.

Our website has been helping homeowners, bathroom fitters and property experts choose bathroom cladding for well over a decade, making us one of the UK's longest-established specialist bathroom panel retailers.

When we first launched, bathroom cladding was primarily seen as a quicker, more affordable alternative to ceramic tiles. It offered a practical, low-maintenance solution that was easy to fit and ideal for DIY projects. Our original slogan summed it up perfectly: "It's stylish, it lasts a lifetime, your dad could fit it."

The market has changed dramatically since then.

Thanks to innovations in manufacturing, today's bathroom panels are no longer simply an alternative to tiles—they've become a premium interior design choice in their own right. High-performance PVC wall panels, luxury SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) panels and other advanced decorative wall systems now offer stunning marble, stone, concrete and textured finishes that rival traditional materials while remaining waterproof, durable and far easier to install.

Whether you're creating a contemporary spa-style bathroom, a luxury shower enclosure or a practical family bathroom, modern cladding provides exceptional style without the cost, disruption and maintenance associated with tiling.

Over the years we've grown alongside the industry. Today we offer one of the UK's largest ranges of bathroom wall panels, shower panels and ceiling panels, available through our comprehensive online store and three North East showrooms, where customers can view full-sized displays, compare finishes and receive expert advice from our experienced team.

More than fifteen years after we started, our goal remains the same: to make it easy for homeowners and professionals alike to create beautiful, long-lasting bathrooms using the very latest wall panel technology.
