On 2 January 1999, Kevin Aherne founded National Shower Spares in Peebles, Scotland, with a vision to provide top-quality spare parts and accessories for showers. Today, as the company celebrates its 25th anniversary, we stand tall as the UK's leading supplier in shower and bathroom spares and equipment.
From its humble beginnings, National Shower Spares has grown exponentially, establishing itself as a trusted name in the industry. From Peebles, another branch based in Cheltenham was opened in 2004 to better aid distribution into England and Wales. Then in 2007, operations were consolidated in Brockworth, Gloucester to larger bespoke distribution units, where we remain to this day.
Here are some of our accolades:
- In 2012, National Shower Spares were awarded the prestigious ‘Gloucestershire Small Business Award’.
- In 2022, we hit a big milestone on our YouTube channel - ‘Shower Spares TV’ - by exceeding 1 million views.
- We are currently number 1 in the ‘Bathrooms’ category on independent review site, Trustpilot, with us fast approaching 48,000 reviews from customers. Our score of 4.9 / 5 is the best in the industry.
We have participated in many charity events, including ‘Jeans for Genes’ , donating shower heads and pet food to Cheltenham Animal Shelter, and donating items to a local school. Staff also undertook a sponsored cycle over 3 days, and have monthly ‘non-uniform’ days throughout the year - all to raise money in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
We have over 10,000 genuine shower spares and product from every major UK shower manufacturer – being official stockists for Mira, Aqualisa, Grohe, hansgrohe and Triton.
This vast portfolio consists of internal shower components such as cartridges, shower heads and shower head holders. We also stock a wide range of toilet spares, such as toilet seats, flush valves, fill valves and flush plates. We offer trade supplies too - so blue roll, descaling agents, silicone grease and washer and o’ring packs are handy to have in any household!
We remain proud of how we began, our journey so far, and are excited to see what the next 25 years will bring!
