The roll-top bath came from eBay for just a few hundred pounds, and was repainted in Farrow & Balls Teresas Green estate eggshell. Retro Metro tiles in Lido Blue from Fired Earth were chosen to tie in with the colour of the bath, and a traditional-style Savoy loo from Bathstore enhances the period look. The Marflow St James shower head and mixer from Dorking Plumbing Supplies also add to the Edwardian-era feel, while the minimal shower enclosure is from The Shower Lab.

Before
The bathroom layout has been changed completely as the chimney breast and fireplace has now been removed to fit in a roll-top bath. The basin is now where the loo was, the loo where the bath was and a shower enclosure has been tucked into the space next to the window.
