Elite Bathrooms Ltd, an Edinburgh-based luxury bathroom and bedroom fitting specialist, has collapsed into voluntary liquidation. The firm, which traded for almost two decades, appointed Christopher David Horne of Robson Scott Associates as liquidator on July 8, followed by the start of winding-up proceedings on July 13. Winding up is the legal process of closing a company, where a liquidator sells assets to pay creditors. Once complete, the business ceases to exist.
Company Background and Inactivity
Founded in 2019, Elite Bathrooms is registered to an office in North Meggetland, Edinburgh. It specialised in providing highly skilled, fully qualified tradesmen with over 16 years of experience in fitting luxury bathrooms. However, its official social media channels have been inactive since around 2022. According to Companies House, accounts from March 2024, due by December, are still overdue.
Warnings and Suspension
The first public warning from the Gazette came in May, giving the company two months to avoid being forcibly struck off the registrar. A subsequent filing in June showed this move was temporarily suspended after an objection was received, allowing the firm to continue trading. Further filings from July 14 confirm that documents following the extraordinary winding-up process will be available within 10 days, providing more details on why the company entered liquidation and its outcome.
Broader Economic Context
Elite Bathrooms is the latest Scottish private company to struggle in a challenging trading environment. The Accounts in Bankruptcy (AIB) agency reported 2,003 personal insolvencies from January to March 2026, an increase of 332 compared to the same period in 2024-25. Corporate insolvencies in Q4 of 2025-25 reached 375, up from 294 in the same quarter of 2024-25.
Other Recent Scottish Liquidations
Secret Garden Distillery, near Edinburgh, appointed joint administrators on July 7 ahead of formal winding up. The distillery, popular for gin tasting experiences and award-winning gins made from over 600 plants and herbs, faced closure. BGL Contracts Limited, a Glasgow-based electrical firm, entered administration on June 30, resulting in all 40 employees being made redundant. Administrators cited insurmountable challenges, including supply chain issues, rising costs, low contract margins, and rephasing of major contracts.
