New bathroom business launches in famous Sheffield entertainment venue

A brand new family-run bathroom business has now opened its doors for business in one of Sheffield’s most famous former entertainment venues.

iBath, established by Jane Hunter and her sister Isabella, specialises in selling British made bathroom products and is the only showroom in the region to stock brands from this country alone.

The new company is located on the site of the former Attercliffe Non Political Working Men’s Club on Effingham Road, which in the 1960s and 70s hosted some of the city’s biggest entertainers, including Bobby Knutt, Marti Caine, Paul Shane, Charlie Williams, Lynne Perrie and her brother Dougie Brown.

The renovated building is now the home to a newly developed bathroom showroom, which stocks high quality brands such as Be Modern, Roman, Alliance, Silverdale, Tavistock, AKW and Ideal Standard.

Customers will be able to choose from a range of products including bathroom suites, showers, taps, fitted furniture, mirrors and matching accessories along with the latest range of wall cladding.

iBath is also planning to open its own dedicated mobility showroom, which will be the only one of its kind in South Yorkshire.

The showroom will offer specialist products including walk-in baths, height adjustable baths with powered swing seating, wet rooms, raised height toilets and newly launched wider toilets.

Jane Hunter, managing director of iBath, said: “We are incredibly excited to bring our brand new business to Sheffield. Our philosophy is based on selling British made products at affordable prices, which is unique to this area and something we pride ourselves on greatly.

“We have worked tirelessly to create a modern, appealing showroom which showcases the quality products that we have on offer. Customers are able to come to us with a range of requirements, from needing a complete bathroom to just few accessories, and we can meet their needs.

“We are lucky to have acquired such a unique building to house iBath. It is steeped in history, from its time as a working men’s club to becoming a nightspot, and is certainly a talking point for customers.”
