About Us

I'm Alan Somerfield the inventor of ShowerSpaah, Back in 2006 when I was Engineering Director for USA shower manufacturer I started figuring out how to mix soap and water together. It's only taken 18 years to get here!

More life story below...

1970s

I have always been building stuff and it was my father who taught me everything, including it seems, how to to damn mountain rivers. A nice holiday snap here from the 70s - I don't look too happy, but hey, I was just being a teenager!

1990s Claim to Fame

You might have used one of these. I came up with it on my walk home from the office in Chiswick, London in 1990 and it's still selling like hotcakes today! Even my children are impressed but it's a long long time ago now.

2024 Kitchen table

All the best things start here. After 40 years designing products I'm delighted to have come up with something that can really help people who need help in the shower.

I've been working on this product off and on since 2006 when I was designing showers for one of the leading manufacturers in the USA. They went bust but I've always felt the idea should see the light of day.

Then as I learnt more about the social care crisis in the UK and the problems people can face with simple tasks, like bathing, I saw the opportunity to help.

I quit my corporate job to get back to what I love doing the most - designing useful stuff..

Thanks to all the great and talented people who've helped me get here.

We hope you like it!
