Traditional Cast Iron Baths

We design all our own products and manufacture the majority of them in Kent, England.

Cast in both iron and aluminium in Kent here in England, a Catchpole & Rye roll top bath is a result of generations of craftsmanship. Our unparalleled collection of freestanding metal bathtubs is available in a wide variety of styles, sizes and finishes. We offer the option to customise your individual bath with a personal emblem or family crest cast into the metal of the bath.

Using traditional foundry techniques we manufacture our cast metal baths in iron and aluminium. Cast iron has long been the favoured metal used for traditional baths but as processes evolve we now offer cast aluminium as a lighter alternative. At 40% of the mass of iron, aluminium is an equally durable and hard-wearing base metal. Each piece from our metal bath collection is made to order at our local Kentish foundry.

Customer Success Story

The Cornish Bank

When the old Cornish Bank premises at St Columb Major became redundant in May 2017 it looked set to sit idle like so many similar premises. That was until Richard Balding and his wife Sarah came along with a vision for something special! What followed was an extensive restoration project ultimately transforming the disused commercial building into an extraordinary family home.

Richard and Sarah championed the use of local tradespeople and resources and sourced British-made products throughout. Their amazing journey is cataloged on George Clarke’s Remarkable Renovations and features a remarkable creation in their Master Bathroom. Using scrap metal from the old bank vault we created a truly unique bath – from and of the property.
