Zest Bathrooms and Kitchens

What Zest Bathrooms and Kitchens does

Zest Bathrooms & Kitchens is a privately held UK luxury bathroom and kitchen design and supply company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Chester, operating a luxury showroom at 2-6 Brookdale Place and a Warrington office and distribution centre opened in 2017 to support nationwide projects across Cheshire, Manchester, North Wales, London, and the Wirral. Its offering centres on bespoke specifications drawing on a curated portfolio of premium international brands, including exclusive UK partnership status with SieMatic for German-engineered kitchens (Pure, Urban, Classic, and Inside collections) and more than 40 bathroom brands such as Gessi, AXOR, Oasis, Novello, Villeroy & Boch, Duravit, Bette, Keuco, Effegibi, and Sunshower.

The business generates revenue through three principal streams: luxury kitchen design and supply, luxury bathroom design and supply, and a dedicated contracts division established in 2012 that serves large-scale residential and commercial developments. Pricing is fully bespoke and quote-based, with no standardised tiers published; each project is scoped individually across brand selection, materials, layout, and installation. Its customer segments span high-net-worth homeowners seeking individual residential projects, property developers requiring multi-unit specifications (Capital & Centric, Renaker, Domis, Altin Homes), architects and interior designers specifying on behalf of clients, and hospitality operators (YOUTH/Hyll Hotel, Fragrance Group/Municipal Hotel, Starship Group/Chester Zoo Reserve). The contracts division has delivered marquee schemes including 1,508 unit bathrooms at Deansgate Square for Renaker, 253 units at Weir Mill and 126 at Crusader Mill for Capital & Centric, 375 units at Viadux for Domis, and 179 hotel bathrooms at the Municipal Hotel in Liverpool for Fragrance Group.

The go-to-market model is design-led, anchored by showroom experience, personal design consultations, and 3D concept development, with a multi-channel presence spanning Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, SEO-driven web content, email newsletters, and downloadable brand brochures. Sales are generated through direct specification partnerships with developers and architects, complemented by retail consultation for individual homeowner projects. The company remains independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity, and has not raised external funding.
