Theatre Scrubs
Theatre Scrubs are the one uniform nobody takes home. They are changed into on site, laundered by the hospital at high temperature and worn by everyone in the room regardless of grade, which makes them a stock cupboard purchase rather than a personal one. That changes what matters: a wide size range in fewer colours, fabric that survives industrial laundering, and the same lines available again next year when the cupboard needs topping up. We supply Theatre Scrubs from UK stock as a family-owned uniform supplier in Stockport, with free returns and no minimum order, and we are an approved supplier on the NHS Framework, supplying NHS trusts, private hospitals and surgical groups.
Our Top Picks
Need Customisation? Add your logo to make bespoke Theatre Scrubs
Theatre colour is a local decision, not a national one, which is why two hospitals twenty miles apart can look completely different. We offer bespoke Theatre Scrubs with custom colours, fabric choices and embroidered logos, so a department can run its own colour coding by area or role. Most theatres embroider the hospital and department only and leave names off, because scrubs are shared rather than issued, though private hospitals that give consultants their own sets often want names on as well. Contact us: sales@staffuniforms.co.uk.
Green and blue are not a tradition. They sit opposite red on the colour wheel, which cuts the after-image a surgeon sees when they look up from the surgical field, and they show blood as a dark stain rather than bright red. That is why theatre blues are still called theatre blues. Everything else about them is practical too: a wide size range because they are issued from a cupboard rather than fitted to a person, two colours where a department needs to see at a glance who should not be in a sterile area, and a fabric that holds its shape after a hundred industrial washes.
At The Staff Uniform Company, our Theatre Scrubs range covers scrub sets, reversible scrubs, smart scrubs and premium stretch scrubs. Explore the collection and stock your theatres.
Why buy Theatre Scrubs from Staff Uniforms?
An experienced theatre supplier
Theatre scrubs are bought by the dozen for a cupboard, not by the individual, and we order with you on that basis. The size spread matters more than the fit of any one garment, stock goes missing and has to be topped up rather than reordered from scratch, and a colour change across a department has to be planned around what is already in the laundry. We are an approved supplier on the NHS Framework, so trusts can buy through an existing route, and we can advise on a size spread based on headcount.
A full range of surgical scrubs
Everything a theatre suite needs from one supplier: reversible scrub tops that give two colours in one garment, smart scrub tunics and trousers in the NHS National Healthcare Uniform specification, classic V-neck scrub sets, premium stretch scrubs for consultants and long lists, scrub joggers, and healthcare trousers in two leg lengths for staff the set sizing does not fit. Brands include Behrens, Onna by Premier, Cherokee and Grey's Anatomy.
A Fully Managed Service
Beyond supply, we offer a fully managed uniform service. We source the right garments, manage stock levels and deliver on time, every time. Each account is supported by a dedicated account manager who understands your business, with an optional online portal available for easy ordering and reordering across single or multiple sites. We have run the same way since 2013, as a family-owned business shipping from one UK warehouse, and there is more about us here.
