Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Waterblade After Dragons’ Den?
Waterblade appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2017, Series 15 Episode 8. The business was a water-saving attachment for taps. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Nigel Bamford walked into the Den in 2017 with a water-saving attachment for taps. They were asking for £85,000 in exchange for 10% of the business.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Nigel Bamford left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Waterblade is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2017, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Waterblade Still in Business?
Yes. Waterblade appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
