What Frick does

Frick GmbH is a privately held, family-owned German Handwerk (crafts/trades) company headquartered in Gerstetten, Baden-Württemberg, that delivers integrated bathroom renovation, heating modernization, and living-space renovation services to residential homeowners in the Ostalb region. It coordinates multiple building trades—plumbing, heating, electrical, tiling, carpentry, and painting—under a single-source project model, supported by a certified showroom in Gerstetten recognized by Dornbracht as one of Germany's BESTE BADSTUDIOS 2026.

The company's service offering is anchored in three core revenue streams: complete and partial bathroom renovation (full baths, showers, bathtubs, washlets, barrier-free and wellness upgrades), heating system modernization (heat pumps from Solvis, Vaillant, and iDM; solar thermal; photovoltaic; battery storage via E3/DC; hybrid systems; fuel cells), and living-space renovation (walls, paint, tiles, natural stone, lighting, electrical, carpentry, roof and facade). It operates a fourth recurring revenue line through maintenance, repair, and a 24/7 emergency service for installed systems, including remote diagnostics for heating equipment. Product procurement and installation are executed through a broad supplier ecosystem of recognized manufacturers (Dornbracht, TOTO, Solvis, Vaillant, iDM, E3/DC, Laufen, Bette, Artweger, JUNG, BEMM, AXOR).

Commercially, Frick runs a sales-led, field-service go-to-market: customers enter via showroom visits, the frick.eu website, or online inquiry forms, then progress through on-site consultation, design planning, and project execution. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven with no published list, and customer testimonials are surfaced via a Trustindex widget. The business is led by managing directors Rainer, Martina, and Christian Frick, is affiliated with the bad & heizung concept AG network, and operates from Wallbacher Straße 12, 89547 Gerstetten. The company maintains active digital marketing (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google Analytics) alongside traditional showroom-led demand generation, serving a strictly regional Ostalb customer base.

Others

• GC-Gruppe: Germany's largest heating, plumbing, and air-conditioning wholesale group with over 125,000 trade customers. Comparable as the upstream supplier/distribution channel that serves Frick and similar Handwerk businesses, and as a consolidator in the German HVAC value chain.

Broad incumbents

• Viessmann: Leading German manufacturer of heating, industrial and refrigeration systems including heat pumps. Comparable as a major supplier and competitor in the heating modernization space where Frick generates significant revenue, and at scale also runs direct installer/sales channels.
• Bauhaus: Major European home improvement and DIY retail chain with extensive bathroom and heating departments plus installation services. Comparable as a much larger competitor also addressing German homeowners' renovation demand, though via a retail/installation hybrid rather than specialist Handwerk model.
• Geberit: European market leader in sanitary technology (installation systems, piping, bathroom ceramics). Comparable as a dominant supplier in the German bathroom renovation market and increasingly offers complete bathroom system solutions that intersect with Frick's core offering.
• Hansgrohe: Premium German manufacturer of showers, faucets, and bathroom fixtures. Comparable as a premium-brand supplier whose products are commonly installed in high-end bathroom renovations, the same segment Frick serves via its Dornbracht/AXOR/Laufen/Bette showroom.
• Duravit: German manufacturer of designer bathroom ceramics, furniture, and wellness products. Comparable as a premium bathroom brand whose products feature in the type of complete-bathroom renovation projects Frick delivers to its Ostalb residential customers.
• Vaillant: Global heating technology manufacturer whose products (aroTHERM heat pump, ecoTEC plus) Frick installs. Comparable as a heating-systems incumbent that increasingly sells direct to end customers, partially overlapping with Frick's heating modernization value proposition.
• bad & heizung concept AG: Parent/affiliated network of independent German bathroom and heating specialist studios. Most directly comparable organizationally because Frick operates under its brand network, sharing similar showroom-based, multi-trade residential renovation economics.

Emerging players

• Aroundhome: German home services comparison platform that mediates leads for bathroom renovation, heating, and solar projects. Comparable to Frick in addressing the same homeowner demand for integrated bathroom/heating renovations via a digital lead-generation channel.
• MyHammer: German online marketplace connecting homeowners with tradespeople and contractors across renovation, bathroom, and heating categories. Comparable because it competes for the same German residential renovation customer demand Frick targets, albeit via a marketplace rather than direct delivery model.
