The Hereford Freestanding Cast Iron Bath from Rutland London is a timeless centrepiece inspired by classic French bathroom design. Combining graceful proportions with traditional craftsmanship, the Hereford features elegant ball and claw feet, a beautifully sculpted roll top profile and compact dimensions, making it an exceptional choice for luxury bathrooms where space is at a premium without compromising on character.
Designed to suit both period and contemporary interiors, the Hereford's refined silhouette creates a striking focal point whilst offering exceptional bathing comfort. Its versatile proportions make it particularly well suited to boutique bathrooms, Georgian townhouses, country cottages and carefully considered renovations, pairing beautifully with both freestanding bath fillers and wall mounted bath taps from Rutland London.
Each Hereford Freestanding Cast Iron Bath is manufactured from high-quality cast iron before being individually hand finished in England by skilled colleagues. The interior features a durable vitreous enamel coating, providing a hard-wearing, hygienic and beautifully smooth bathing surface designed to withstand generations of daily use. An end-positioned overflow is incorporated into the design, preserving the bath's elegant appearance whilst ensuring practical everyday functionality.
The exterior of every cast iron bath is finished using a highly durable aerospace-grade paint system, supplied as standard in a sophisticated matt finish. For clients seeking a truly bespoke bathroom, Rutland London can also provide gloss or satin painted finishes, together with colour matching to many of the world's most respected paint manufacturers, including Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Paint & Paper Library, allowing the bath to become a seamless extension of your wider interior scheme.
As with all traditionally manufactured cast iron baths, the Hereford celebrates the authentic characteristics of its production process. The enamelled and painted surfaces may naturally display subtle pitting, burrs and other handcrafted manufacturing marks that are synonymous with genuine cast iron baths. These features are not defects but an inherent part of the material's character and heritage, contributing to the individuality and timeless appeal of every bath.
Due to the casting process, dimensions are manufactured with a tolerance of approximately ±20mm, and, as expected of premium cast iron construction, the bath may exceed 200kg in weight. Appropriate consideration should therefore be given to access, structural support and on-site handling before delivery and installation.
