Made to Order Build Time

All of our trolleys are made by hand in sleepy Lincolnshire. The boilers are imported from Germany (we couldn't find a suitable UK boiler manufacturer) and each one is checked thoroughly before it leaves us. They're run for a minimum of half an hour, and we make sure it all works before it leaves. 
The making of the frames is a very time consuming process... the metal is bent and welded... and then loaded into the back of Boris The Van, where they're taken to the Nice Powdercoater Down The Road, who makes them look pretty. Powdercoating has to be done in batches, so we have to wait for a batch of the same colour ones to build up to get them all done at once. This can delay things slightly, if you go for an unusual colour. 

Then the prettier frames come back (in Boris) and have their hinges and doors etc tested and aligned. The boilers are tested, and assembled. And then the children in the family stick the stickers on. Couriers are booked. And the showers are wrapped. It takes an hour, at least, per shower to wrap. 
So.... all of this work means that your shower isn't going to arrive immediately. We pride ourselves on the handmade-ness of our showers (we've been repeatedly approached by factories offering to make them at discounted price) - but this does mean the shower can take time, please check our home page for current lead times. So be patient... it'll be worth the wait!

  • Made In The UK

    Frames are handmade in Lincolnshire. We started off making the frames in our shed... but now they're made in a slightly bigger building about 2 miles from home. With each one being handmade by us, we can guarantee they're made to work... for the job they're designed for

  • Powder Coated

    They're all powder coated by a Very Nice Man, just down the road from us. We used to hand spray the frames... but Mr Hippo ended up with very colourful nostril hair... and it wasn't as hardwearing as powder coating. So now we powder coat our frames to ensure they last. As we do each one to order, we can personalise them or colour match them.

  • Gas Safety

    All gas boilers are tested and commissioned before they leave us. We also take the boilers back for their annual service and repairs. We pride ourselves on the reliability of our boilers. They're designed to work. Using a battery powered pulse ignition, and no 'pilot' light to blow out, we proudly stand high above all our competitors. And we're so confident, we can offer a 5 year guarantee on our boilers.
"I love my Hippo!  I initially bought it for a horse with a skin issue having been advised by the vet to bath daily (in November!!) how convenient that the following weekend I went to YHL and my beady eye spotted the exact colour I wanted, I had done my research before hand and Hippo ticked all the boxes and more. Since the skin condition cleared up I have used my Hippo for keeping my girls clean and treating them to warm leg and tail washes during the muddy winters. I have also been able to keep their mane’s clean so they aren’t sporting half a hog! I recommend Hippo to anyone that asks, you just can’t go wrong with a little Hippo in your life"

Meet The Hippo Family!

We are a little family business, based in deepest Fenland in South Lincolnshire.

When none of the other showers on the market measured up to what we needed, and weren't safe enough to ensure Mrs Hippo wouldn't burn the yard down, Hippo Showers were born.


It was our mission to make something SAFE and useable. We didn't want to join the (dangerous) trend of strapping a gas bottle onto a sack barrow, next to a boiler containing actual flames. There are too many of 'those' types on the market and they wouldn't pass a basic safety gas check!

Our (Patent Office protected) designs combined with our super self-igniting boilers with auto-protection means you're in safe hands!
