Shipping Policy
UK Mainland Delivery
Standard delivery to UK mainland addresses is normally 3–5 working days from dispatch.
Standard delivery is £12, with free standard delivery on orders over £100, unless a different delivery charge is clearly shown at checkout.
For delivery purposes, UK mainland excludes Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and other locations where additional delivery charges or restrictions may apply. Please contact us before ordering if you require delivery to one of these areas.
Order Processing
We aim to process and dispatch orders as quickly as possible. Orders placed after 5pm, at weekends or on UK public holidays will normally be processed on the next working day.
Delivery times are estimates unless we have expressly agreed a specific delivery date with you. Occasionally, circumstances outside our reasonable control may affect delivery. If this happens, we will contact you where reasonably possible and work with you to arrange delivery.
Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights. Where applicable, your rights in relation to late or failed delivery are protected by the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Large and Pallet Deliveries
Some larger or heavier items may be delivered by a tail-lift vehicle and manually operated pallet truck. Unless otherwise agreed, these deliveries are made to the nearest suitable kerbside or flat, level hard-standing area.
Drivers may be unable to move goods onto driveways, inside buildings or across gravel, grass, steep inclines or other unsuitable surfaces.
Please tell us before delivery about any access restrictions that may prevent a large van or lorry from reaching the delivery address. A responsible person should be available to receive the delivery and supervise the off-load where required.
If a delivery cannot be completed because nobody is available to receive it, or because we were not informed of relevant access restrictions, reasonable redelivery charges may apply. We will tell you about any applicable charge before arranging redelivery.
Delivery Partners
We use a range of delivery partners depending on the size, weight and destination of your order. We may also use our distributors' delivery services where appropriate.
Checking Your Delivery
Please inspect your order as soon as reasonably possible after delivery.
If you notice visible damage, missing items or an incorrect item at the time of delivery, please record this on the carrier's delivery documentation where possible and contact us as soon as possible.
Photographs of the packaging and affected goods are extremely helpful when investigating damage with the carrier, so please send clear photographs where possible.
If damage or a problem was not apparent at the time of delivery, please contact us as soon as you discover it.
Failure to inspect the goods immediately or to record damage on a delivery note does not affect your statutory rights.
Please do not install or attempt to install an item that you believe is damaged, incorrect or defective. Contact us first so that we can advise you on the appropriate next steps.
If Your Order Is Late
If your order has not arrived within the expected delivery period, please contact our Customer Services team and we will investigate the delivery for you.
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, unless another delivery period has been agreed, goods must generally be delivered without undue delay and within 30 days of the contract being made. Consumers may have the right to cancel in certain circumstances where goods are not delivered within the agreed or legally required timeframe.
Before Booking an Installer
We strongly recommend that you do not book a plumber, installer or other tradesperson until your goods have arrived and you have checked that they are correct, complete and undamaged.
We cannot accept responsibility for avoidable installation costs resulting from a tradesperson being booked before the goods have been received and checked. This does not exclude or limit any liability that cannot legally be excluded or any rights you have under consumer law.
Returns and Cancellations
This Shipping & Delivery Policy should be read together with our Returns Policy and Terms & Conditions.
If you are a consumer purchasing online, you will normally have a legal right to cancel your order within 14 days after receiving the goods, subject to the statutory exceptions. Further information about cancellations, returns, return costs and refunds is provided in our Returns Policy.

Returns, Cancellations & Refunds
We want you to be happy with your purchase from ESE Bathrooms. This policy explains your rights when cancelling an online order, returning an unwanted item or reporting a faulty, damaged or incorrect product.
Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights.
Cancelling an Online Order
If you are a consumer purchasing from us online, you normally have the right to cancel your order without giving a reason.
You must tell us that you wish to cancel within 14 days of receiving your goods. Once you have notified us of your cancellation, you then have a further 14 days to return the goods.
To request a cancellation or return, please email sales@esebathrooms.co.uk with your order details.
If your order has not yet been dispatched, please contact us as soon as possible and we will try to stop the shipment.
Certain goods may be excluded from the statutory right to cancel, including goods made to your specifications or clearly personalised, where the applicable law provides an exemption. We will make this clear before purchase where relevant.
Returning Unwanted Goods
Please take reasonable care of goods while they are in your possession.
You may inspect and handle a product as you reasonably would in a shop to establish its nature, characteristics and functionality.
Where handling goes beyond what is reasonably necessary and causes a reduction in the value of the goods, we may make an appropriate deduction from the refund as permitted by law.
Where possible, please return products with their original packaging and accessories. The absence of original packaging does not automatically remove your statutory cancellation rights, although you should package returned goods appropriately to protect them during transport.
Please contact us before returning an item so that we can provide the appropriate return instructions.
Do not send products directly back to the manufacturer unless we specifically instruct you to do so.
Return Delivery Costs
For unwanted goods returned under your right to cancel, you will normally be responsible for the direct cost of returning the goods, provided we informed you of this before you entered into the contract.
This also applies where the goods supplied are correct and as described, but you later discover that they are unsuitable for your intended installation because relevant dimensions, plumbing connections, water supply requirements, electrical requirements, installation clearances or other compatibility requirements were not checked before ordering.
We strongly recommend checking all relevant product dimensions, specifications and installation requirements with your installer or a suitably qualified tradesperson before placing your order.
Many of the products sold by ESE Bathrooms are large, heavy, fragile or palletised and cannot normally be returned by standard post.
The cost of returning bulky or palletised goods depends on factors including the size and weight of the consignment, collection postcode and delivery location. The exact collection or return transport price can be provided on request before the return is arranged.
For bulky goods that cannot normally be returned by post, the direct return cost for UK mainland returns is estimated at up to approximately £80.
You may arrange an appropriate return carrier yourself or, where available, we may be able to arrange collection on your behalf. Please contact us before arranging a bulky return.
If the goods are faulty, damaged, incorrect, not as described or otherwise do not conform to the contract, you will not be responsible for reasonable return or collection costs where the law requires us to bear those costs.
Refunds
Where you exercise your statutory right to cancel, we will refund the amount due to you, including the cost of our least expensive standard delivery option where required by law.
If you selected a more expensive delivery method than our standard delivery service, we are not required to refund the additional delivery cost.
We may withhold the refund until we have received the goods back or you have provided evidence that you have returned them, whichever occurs first, where permitted by law.
Refunds will be made using the same payment method used for the original transaction unless otherwise agreed.
Where the statutory cancellation right applies, refunds will be processed within 14 days of receiving the returned goods or evidence that you have returned them, as applicable.
Damaged, Faulty or Incorrect Goods
Please inspect your order as soon as reasonably possible after delivery.
If an item arrives visibly damaged, incorrect or incomplete, please contact us as soon as possible at sales@esebathrooms.co.uk. Photographs of the product and packaging can help us investigate the issue quickly, and we may reasonably request photographs or other information relating to the problem.
Reporting visible transit damage promptly also helps us raise a claim with the delivery company. However, failure to report a problem within 24 hours does not remove your statutory rights.
Goods supplied by ESE Bathrooms must be as described, of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose where required by law.
If goods are faulty or do not conform to the contract, you may be entitled to a refund, repair, replacement, price reduction or other remedy under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, depending on the circumstances and when the problem is reported.
Nothing in this policy limits your statutory rights.
Installation & Compatibility
Before ordering, please check that the product is suitable for your intended installation, including its dimensions, plumbing connections, water supply requirements, electrical requirements where applicable, installation clearances and any other relevant technical requirements.
We strongly recommend discussing these requirements with a suitably qualified installer before placing your order if you are unsure about compatibility.
If the product supplied is correct and as described but cannot be installed because the installation requirements, dimensions, connections or other conditions at your property are unsuitable, this will not normally mean that the product is faulty. If you are eligible to return the product under your statutory cancellation rights, the return will normally be treated as an unwanted return and you will be responsible for the direct return cost.
This does not apply where the incompatibility results from incorrect or misleading information supplied by ESE Bathrooms about the product. In those circumstances, your statutory rights remain unaffected.
Please check that your product is the correct item, model, size, colour and specification and that there is no visible damage before installation.
Do not install or attempt to install a product that you believe is damaged, incorrect or defective. Contact us first so that we can investigate and advise you.
Installing or altering a product does not automatically remove your statutory rights where the product was faulty or did not conform to the contract when supplied.
However, we are not responsible for faults or damage caused by incorrect installation, misuse, accidental damage, unauthorised alteration or normal wear and tear.
We strongly recommend that installation is carried out by a suitably qualified professional where appropriate.
Exchanges
If you receive a faulty, damaged or incorrect product, please contact us at sales@esebathrooms.co.uk and we will explain the available options.
Where you simply wish to exchange an unwanted product, please contact us and we will let you know whether an exchange can be arranged. Your statutory cancellation rights are unaffected.
