The bathroom is a functional space but that doesn't mean you can't express your personality in the style and colour of the fittings you choose.

As our lives become more hectic the bathroom is increasingly seen as a retreat - somewhere to relax and de-stress at the end of a long day.

If you have ever stayed at Hotel du Vin you will know that one of the hotel's major attractions is its gorgeous bathrooms. Aston Matthews has supplied the baths, showers, basins, taps and WCs to the majority of hotels in this boutique chain.

Don't let the long winter evenings bring you down. Why not indulge in some quality 'me' time and treat yourself to a long, lingering soak in the bath.

This month we have added Luxor to our already extensive collection of new cast iron baths. Luxor is a classic roll top design with a white enamel interior, the exterior is unfinished allowing you to paint the bath to match your decor.

Customers to our Islington shop who show an interest in our range of new cast iron
baths sometimes express concerns about their size and weight.
