THE new owner of the Homebase brand has relaunched its website ahead of 13 branches closing within days. CDS Superstores has confirmed the new look site is now live after The Sun exclusively revealed it was due to launch this week. In a post on Facebook earlier today, Homebase said: "Homebase.co.uk is NOW LIVE.

"Explore 1000's of home improvement essentials at your fingertips—from decorating and garden supplies to our popular kitchens and bathrooms. "Featuring top brands like Dulux, Harris, Crown, Westland and more.". The launch of the website comes despite a wave of more than a dozen Homebase closures.
The stores will pull down their shutters immediately this month after CDS failed to take them over. Homebase fell into administration in November, putting its then 133 UK stores all at risk. But CDS, which owns The Range and Wilko brand, stepped in and said it would take over up to 70 locations.
Rival DIY chain B&Q has agreed to purchase five former Homebase locations as well. But it means dozens of stores are still at risk of closure while others are confirmed to be shutting this month. Branches in Bradford, Coventry and Romford will welcome in customers for the final time.
CDS has already confirmed nine former Homebase locations out of the up to 70 which have opened, or will open. The hybrid stores will combine the Homebase, Wilko and The Range brands offering shoppers a variety of products. Some branches will include Homebase garden centres with others featuring the popular Dulux paint mixing machines and colour walls.
