Methodology

The unit of analysis is a unique priced catalogue offer. Repeated appearances of the same brochure-specific product and price key were merged. Different sizes, handed versions, bundles and distinct product codes remained separate offers.

A finish was assigned only when supported by explicit product wording, a clearly applicable range heading, a catalogue colour legend or swatch, or a corroborated catalogue product code.

Colours visible only in lifestyle photography, room decoration, tiles, walls, props or unlabelled product renders were excluded.

The broad public category is labelled Grey. Exact commercial finish labels such as Gunmetal remain unchanged in the detailed dataset.

Appropriate uses

The data can support product-catalogue research, bathroom and interior-design trend analysis, retail assortment comparisons, finish and colour taxonomy work, and reproducible analysis or visualisation examples.

Limitations

These figures measure named catalogue product-variant availability. They do not measure sales, consumer demand, installed-market share, stock availability or the complete UK bathroom market.

The research covers three supplier catalogues and should not be presented as a census of all UK bathroom products.
