    Ballcock & Bits are a proud, independent Plumbing & Heating Merchant and Bathroom Showroom business based in Bracknell, Berkshire.

    Based at Broad House, Broad Lane for over four decades. Opened by founder and Director John Lovejoy, our store became a great success and continues to thrive today.

    Here at Ballcock & Bits, we are proud to be the longest-running independent merchant (in the area) specialising in plumbing, heating, spares & controls, bathrooms, tiles and renewable energy and we are particularly proud to be part of The IPG group.

    Being part of The IPG allows us access to major brands whilst being competitively priced.

    At Ballcock & Bits, we are specialists in plumbing spares and offer genuine parts through authorised distributors. We ensure that our branch is well stocked to give you the spares you need when you need them.

    In addition to this, we have a newly updated bathroom showroom to provide you with a chance to see and feel the quality of your new affordable, luxury bathroom. Our FREE measurement and design service provide you with CAD design images for you to see what your bathroom could look like.

    Our Story

    John Lovejoy, Founder and Director, opened Ballcock & Bits for business in 1982. Due to the ever-growing success, Ballcock & Bits were able to open a bathroom showroom which has grown over the years and recently had a makeover.

    Ballcock & Bits has featured in the Bizarre magazine and made an appearance on Radio 1 for its great name. There's also been a space for Director John Lovejoy in the book of who’s who. Ballcock & Bits continues to expand, employing more staff to support the showroom, customers at the trade counter and account management.

    In over 4 decades, Ballcock & Bits has seen competition come and go in the Bracknell area, but Ballcock & Bits is still standing strong (and growing) as the longest-running independent merchant in the borough. Much of our ever-growing success is largely to do with the customer service, expertise and care that goes into every customer interaction. It was present 43 years ago, still present now and will be present forever in the future. We’re proud to be Ballcock & Bits!

    I know nothing about Plumbing! I have just returned from B & B and now my wife thinks I’m a bloody hero. I was helped by a top bloke, who could tell I knew absolutely nothing at all. I handed over my phone so he could see a few photos and a video of my buggered cistern. I was all ready and...
