Thomas Crapper & Co EST. 1861

London 1870 World's first bathroom showroom

This image from 1963 serves to remind us of our heritage, and the fact that Thomas Crapper opened the world’s first bathroom showroom in Chelsea, London in 1870. The showroom excelled in supplying high quality bathroom products with superb customer service. This ethos continues today and although we no longer own the Chelsea showroom we now have a carefully selected network of independent bathroom specialists all of whom continue in the spirit of the original ‘Crapper’ showroom.
