About us
Phil first embarked on a plumbing career in 1975, his aim; to create a legacy for his family. It was then he started China Bathrooms, based in Morley, Leeds.
After working in the industry for many years, Phil realised that his older customer base was being taken advantage of by similar companies. They were over charging and using hard sales techniques, leaving customers feeling uneasy and at times vulnerable.
Phil wanted to counteract this sales method and launched his unique selling point, a no pressure, affordable service.
The company relocated their shop to Bury Market in Greater Manchester, allowing their customer base to discover the company in their usual shopping environment.
This way of displaying the company’s services proved very successful. However, living in Leeds and commuting to Bury took its toll over the years. This convinced the company to move back to West Yorkshire. China Bathrooms found a new home in 2014 in Castleford & Pontefract Indoor Markets.
2016 saw the introduction of Phil’s eldest daughter, Harriette and husband Simon. There was a little brand refresh, a relaunch and Shower People Ltd. was born. Shower People launched their first ever website, began to advertise and gained a social media platform to display finished work. More importantly, Phil’s Wife got her conservatory back when a permanent office was built!
The company has continued to grow, adding more shops to their portfolio: Huddersfield Market (2017-2018), Wortley, Leeds (2017-2019) and Crossgates Shopping Centre (2018-2020). Shower People’s most recent venture was their relocation within Wortley, creating an impressive flagship store, displaying one of the largest selections of walk-in baths in West Yorkshire.
In 2019 the family business welcomed Phil’s youngest daughter Henrietta to the team.
As the business continued to grow, Shower People have welcomed two new member to the family team Amanda and Rebecca to manage the office.
In 2023, with a fresh showroom revamp, the company launched kitchen fitting as a new service.
Coming soon will be a large extension to the office and showroom in LS12 with new and improved displays with more kitchens.

Customers can come visit us in our showroom and take a look at our displays, showcasing what we have to offer. We operate a free no obligation survey and as part of the service, aim to leave you with a plan and price. Many of our competitors take weeks to provide customers with quotes.
Here at Shower people, we see your bathroom & kitchen renovation plans through from start to finish. We differ from similar companies in that we take the hassle away, creating a plan, provide goods, use our trusted fitters and ethically remove all rubbish at the end of the job. The customer doesn’t have to prepare anything or lift a finger; unless they want to pop the kettle on from time to time.
We specialise in easy access bathing, using baths and showers but with a contemporary design twist. Just because you cannot get into your bath anymore it doesn’t mean your bathroom can’t be a stylish space you want to spend time relaxing in. We have contacts within many lines of trade and large suppliers. This enables us to offer you competitive prices and a reliable service.
Our pressure free quotation promises to leave customers at ease, knowing that they don’t have to book there and then.

You retain the traditional lying-down bathing position, but access is so much easier. When there’s only one bath at home, this is a great option for the whole family. With a footprint that matches the regular bathtub shape, slotting it into your bathroom’s layout is simple. They are also ideal for the whole family with the removeable hydraulic seat.

“ Knowing that the Shower People were a caring family business was a big plus for my Husband and I, we requested a walk in shower with all the accessories toilet sink etc, Sam was the man who installed it, what a worker and a lovely bloke, we were so impressed with the bathroom we decided to bite the bullet and have a new kitchen, from start to finish we were happy with the planning (Thank you Simon) and the fitter (Bob) he had his work cut out but he did a super job. We are so happy with the finished works, we would highly recommend this company to anybody who is thinking of having either a Bathroom or Kitchen in the future.
P.S. A visit from Ralph the family dog was a big bonus”
