We can even create individual pieces from scratch – in fact, it’s how some of our most popular designs came into being. Our Kinross basin was originally commissioned for a stately home in Scotland but has now become one of our most popular washstand designs:

La Cage d’Amour, our romantic shower for two, was first designed for a honeymoon suite and has since been installed in other luxury properties around the world.

Perhaps the ultimate personalisation is the option to emboss your bath or cistern with your initials, emblem, house name or family crest. Adding a name or date to a cistern is a relatively straightforward process. First, we adhere the desired lettering to a template – we will normally consult with you as to how the lettering should appear. The most popular design follows the same format as our Deluge cistern, where the lettering is curved along the top and bottom. Alternatively, a linear form of lettering can also look very smart. Once approved by the client, the template is then sent off to the be cast onto the cast-metal cistern, before returning to the workshop for the finishing touches.

A logo, emblem or a unique motif is a much more time-consuming process. The design needs to be clarified and possibly realigned to fit the proposed location, be it a cistern or a bath. This involves either hand carving the chosen design or forming it from a special clay. Once the template has been approved, it is mounted onto a wooden board, from which a sand pattern is created. These reliefs are then set into the master pattern ready to receive the molten metal.

It’s an intricate and complex process, but one that creates spectacular results. This level of individuality is so special that it really is worth the wait. It elevates a practical product into something unique and characterful that has your personal stamp on it – literally!
