The Waterhouse Freestanding Cast Iron Bath from Rutland London beautifully captures the enduring elegance of traditional English bathroom design. Defined by its graceful single-ended slipper profile, refined roll top silhouette and beautifully detailed ball and claw feet, the Waterhouse is a timeless statement piece, handcrafted for discerning interiors where heritage, comfort and exceptional craftsmanship are paramount.
Its elevated slipper backrest provides superb bathing comfort, creating a luxurious and relaxing experience whilst serving as a striking focal point within the bathroom. The Waterhouse's balanced proportions allow it to sit comfortably within both compact and generously sized spaces, making it equally suited to elegant country homes, period townhouses, boutique hotels and carefully considered contemporary renovations.
Every Waterhouse Freestanding Cast Iron Bath is manufactured from high-quality cast iron before being individually hand finished by skilled colleagues in England. The interior features a durable vitreous enamel coating, providing a beautifully smooth, hygienic and exceptionally hard-wearing bathing surface designed to provide decades of reliable performance. An end-positioned overflow preserves the bath's classic proportions, whilst the option to specify the bath with or without tap holes offers complete flexibility for installation with either deck mounted bath taps or freestanding bath fillers.
The exterior of every cast iron bath is finished using a highly durable aerospace-grade paint system, supplied as standard in an elegant matt finish. For clients seeking a truly bespoke centrepiece, Rutland London also offers gloss and satin paint finishes together with colour matching to many of the world's leading paint manufacturers, including Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Paint & Paper Library, allowing your bath to integrate beautifully with your wider interior scheme.
As with all traditionally manufactured cast iron baths, the Waterhouse proudly celebrates the authentic characteristics of its production process. The painted and enamelled surfaces may naturally exhibit subtle pitting, burrs and other handcrafted manufacturing marks. These are not defects but inherent features of genuine cast iron production, contributing to the individuality, authenticity and timeless character 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.
