CAREFUL PLANNING IS THE KEY TO GREAT BATHROOM DESIGN
We’re here to make that easier
Founded in 2011, by Ollie Streek, Salacia (formerly The Bathroom Cellar), was an online retailer for discontinued and ex-display bathrooms.
Fast forward to 2024, and Salacia are a comprehensive bathroom specialist for retail and the trade. There are three main sectors to the business; Retail Showrooms, Trade Counters and Projects. Each department provides products and services to slightly different markets, so as a group we can service home owners looking to upgrade their existing bathroom, DIY’ers completing odd-jobs, experienced plumbers, general builders, M&E and Main Contractors, house builders, nursing homes, developers of building high rise apartments, luxury super mansions, large housing sites, or simple one offs.
Drawing Parallels: How Our Company Embodies the Qualities of Salacia
What Salacia means
'Salacia' embodies the qualities and values we want to bring to our customers. Salacia holds great significance in ancient Greek culture, as she represents the power and influence of the sea. In Greek mythology, the sea played a vital role in their lives, serving as a source of sustenance, trade, and transportation. As the goddess of the sea, Salacia embodied the tranquil aspects of the ocean. Her ability to calm the waves and ensure peaceful sailing conditions made her a revered deity among sailors. They would offer prayers and sacrifices to Salacia before embarking on their journeys, seeking her protection and guidance. The name Salacia captures these qualities and reflects our desire to provide a sense of calm and serenity to our customers, just as Salacia did for the ancient Greeks.
Through our products and services, we aim to evoke a sense of professionalism and create a positive atmosphere for our customers. The name Salacia serves as a constant reminder of our commitment to offering a calming and enjoyable experience, inspired by the goddess herself.
About Salacia
Our commitment
Salacia will approach every single client and their project with the same level of care and attention whether purchasing a cloakroom, or sanitaryware for 300 houses. The business has grown organically through trust and recommendations, and long may this continue. Our team are a testament to this.
SOURCING AND SUPPLYING THE BEST QUALITY BATHROOM PRODUCT
Brand partners
Our partners are so incredibly important to us, they must speak the same language and provide the same level of quality and service that we go above and beyond to fulfil every day.
For this reason, we will not trade online, as we cannot provide the same level of care and attention that we do face to face. We want all clients to be able to see and touch the product for themselves, to understand why we are so particular about the brands we deal with and appreciate the difference in quality first hand.
Please come and see for yourself, the difference Salacia make.
