FREESTANDING ROLL TOP CLAW FOOTED BATHS

The issue of missing parts is a frequently asked question. We do ask you to check the contents at the time of delivery.  If you think you are missing something, please call us straight away, so we can get a replacement part out to you as soon as possible. In most cases the parts are packaged carefully and stowed on the inside of the bath tub for delivery.

All baths are hand finished and checked before being packaged for delivery by courier. As part of that process we always fit your feet and level the bath prior to leaving our warehouse. We label each foot carefully so that you know where to fix it when you fit your bath.

Some bath feet will be supplied with washers however some will not – it all depends on your choice of bath. You may even find that the front two feet will come with them and the back two feet will not. This is normal; it may be to balance you bath and allow efficient draining.

If you perhaps have an old farmhouse with a sloping floor, or are fitting your

In our series of Frequently Asked Questions, one of the first things people ask is about the weight of a cast iron bath.  And rightly so, they are very heavy if you try to lift them on your own.

As long as the building you are purchasing the bath for is structurally sound and meets building regulations, a cast iron bath will not be too heavy for the floor. Houses are built to withstand just such eventualities. Providing you don't have a really serous case of rotten floor boards, your home will be strong enough to hold the weight of your cast iron bath filled with water and a person or two.

Many of our baths (filled weight) are equivalent to having around 5 people stood in the bathroom at any given point. Just like being in the kitchen at a party! We have never had a case where the floor has collapsed purely under the weight of our baths. But if you are in any way unsure about the age and quality of the flooring in a building you are unsure, you may be best contacting a surveyor,

We all want bathing to be a glorious luxurious experience. So when it comes to designing a luxury bathroom a stylish bath is going to always be a focal point. Choosing the right bath is important. Consider it an investment in your health and well-being.

In this article we point out the advantages and disadvantages of some of the more common bath shapes.

There is something so gorgeously self indulgent about outdoor bathing. Seriously, what can compare to slipping into a beautifully fragranced cast iron bathtub on a warm evening, while a cool gentle breeze laps your wet skin and nature chirps and rustles around you?

We have seen our cast iron baths in some absolutely stunning luxury bathrooms. But something else has really caught our eye: our cast iron baths installed in bedrooms. No longer the reserve of boutique hotels, baths in bedrooms are a luxurious alternative to an en-suite.

Is anything as romantic as the sight of a scattering of rose petals floating on the surface of a lovely hot, steaming bath? Surely that’s what cast iron baths were invented for…

Carl Fox, our favourite photographer, has put together some great tips on making your photography stand out from the crowd.  Whether you intend to use an SLR, a point-and-click or an iPhone to shoot with, we’ve got some invaluable hints about lighting, exposure and composition.

1) Always use a tripod

This might sound silly to say it but it's essential to help you take a straight shot, and also to prevent blur on long exposures (see tip 2). If you don't have a tripod any sturdy surface will do, but make sure your camera is protected from falls.

2) Use a long exposure

Try and avoid lighting the room. Where possible use the natural light available to you. If your camera allows it, set to manual and expose to get the important detail. In a dark room the shadows tend to clump together, so increase the length of exposure. In a bright white reflective room, shorten the length of exposure so the highlights don’t blow out. However, if this seems too difficult, it’s worth noting that most SLR

Choosing a cast iron bath for small bathrooms is not an uncommon problem. Many houses, especially in Europe, are designed with the bathroom as a ‘functional’ room. This allows for precious space to be used where, in theory, it will be more useful. However, if you are a fan of beautiful cast iron baths, you’ll know that limited bathroom space is an issue.

Thankfully we have the perfect solution. The Petite Millbrook Roll Top Bath has been specifically designed for smaller bathrooms – without compromising on classic styling. Measuring 770mm wide, 1530mm long and 600mm high, this cast iron bath is the epitome of bijou.

However, it’s not just the compact design that makes the Petite Millbrook Roll Top Bath ideal for smaller bathrooms – the fact that it is mounted on elegant ball and claw feet means that more of the floor space is revealed, which helps make the room appear larger.

And the Petite Millbrook is available in any colour.  The exterior and feet can be painted in the Farrow and
