Stiffkey Bathrooms

We are specialist dealers in French and English antique baths and antique bathroom furniture, and have more than 25 years experience in high-quality hand restoration and enamelling. Over the years, we've been featured in numerous magazines and worked with high-profile interior designers to recreate vintage bathrooms at stately homes, hotels and other historic buildings. We've also advised on antique bathrooms for several film and television shoots and supplied many unique items for hire. If you'd like to contact us regarding our consultancy work, please email info@stiffkeybathrooms.com.

It all began with a profound love of beautiful bathrooms and fine antiques. From the start, we set out to source and restore, with meticulous care, bathroom ware of all shapes and sizes. Vitreous and arcylic re-enamelling for baths and basins and polished brass, chrome and nickel plating for taps and accessories, conversion of obsolete plumbing sizes to fit with the global metric system - we did it all. And we still do. These days, however, there's even more. Since certain antique items are almost impossible to find, we now faithfully manufacture reproduction roll holders, bath bridges, soap dishes and many other accessories as well as baths themselves.

We keep stock of only the finest French and English antique baths that come on to the market. All our baths, from antique roll top baths through to antique foot baths, are sourced through a network of traders and private sales, mostly for their beauty, but also for their range of sizes and rarity. These are usually antique cast iron baths, but when we can find them, copper, zinc, porcelain and teak too. We understand that the majority of our customers are looking for an exceptional piece, resurfaced to a high standard and updated to enable compatibility with contemporary plumbing methods.

In the beginning we found it relatively easy to source antique bathroom accessories, but in recent years, it's become much harder to find items of the quality that we expect as standard. In response, we have developed our Victorian and Edwardian Accessories - a range of one-off designs, together with our Empire Collection, a matching set that provides continuity for your antique bathroom. Our reproduction vintage bathroom accessories are authentic copies with no 'improvements' or unnecessary alterations.
