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.

Well known for her OTT performances the American singer Lady Gaga lived up to her reputation when she performed recently on X Factor.

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.

When it comes to refurbishing a smaller bathroom there is no need to compromise on style. At Aston Matthews we have solutions for the small bathroom or cloakroom.

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.

The latest addition to our showroom is the Elysee collection of sanitaryware. This classic collection includes a bidet, pedestal basin and WC.
