The Cast Iron Bath Company

The Cast Iron Bath Company: cast iron baths and bathroom fittings from Scarborough

The Cast Iron Bath Company is a British bathroom retailer based at Aurora House on Hopper Hill Road in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. Its catalogue spans baths, taps, showers, enclosures, basins, toilets, vanity units, heating and accessories, sold online and through a showroom. The company states that its cast iron and copper baths are customised and hand finished by craftsmen in its Yorkshire workshop, and presents that hand finishing as a way to combine elegant design with affordability.

Baths at the centre of the range

The bath collection is organised into two lines, the Cast Iron Bath Company range and RossaStone®, and by shape: single ended, double ended, clawfoot, bateau and oval models, alongside bath accessories. The site illustrates the range with pieces such as the Petite Delaunay RossaStone® Bateau Bath painted in Farrow & Ball Off Black, an example of the finishes applied to the baths.

Tapware, showers and enclosures

Tapware is grouped into the Linton, Bayor and Klee collections and by mounting position: deck, wall, backsplash and floor mounted, for both basins and baths. The same three collections structure the shower range, which covers exposed, concealed and semi-exposed models, with or without handset. Shower enclosures are offered in the Foss, Wharfe and Swale collections with clear, reeded or grid glass. Across taps, showers and enclosures the company lists seven finishes: chrome, polished nickel, brushed nickel, living brass, brushed brass, timeless brass and matt black, and invites customers to request a free sample of a finish.

Basins, toilets and vanity units

Basins are divided into the Tamar, Esk, Varo and RossaStone® collections and by type, including pedestal, stand-mounted, cloakroom, countertop and vanity basins, with ceramic, concrete and stone options and a separate line of wastes and traps. The company highlights its concrete basins as a colourful alternative. Toilets come in the Esk and Tamar collections as close coupled, low level, high level, back to wall and wall hung models, with seats sold alongside. Vanity units are grouped into a Classic Collection and an Italian Collection, offered as single units with doors or drawers and as double units; the company notes that they use Crofts and Assinder handles and soft-close drawers, with geometric or curved designs.

Heating and accessories

A heating range covers traditional and contemporary designs, wall mounted, floor mounted and combined floor and wall models, plus ladder rails and column rails in the same finish palette as the tapware. The accessories section gathers mirrors, hooks, rails and rings, and bath, basin, toilet and shower accessories, organised into traditional and contemporary collections.

Customer projects and trade service

The site publishes customer case studies covering country retreats, compact cottage renovations, new builds and 1930s conversions, presented as examples of how product selection shapes a bathroom, together with a customer photo gallery. A trade account can be requested for professional buyers. Orders to UK mainland addresses are described as delivered free, with free 14-day returns, and the site also carries pages on international delivery, warranty and product care.

A change of name to Ashbee & Stone

The company announces on its site that The Cast Iron Bath Company is becoming Ashbee & Stone, a change it describes as reflecting an evolution of the collection beyond baths into a broader bathroom design offer. According to the notice, the team, the service and the curated product selection remain the same, and customers are directed to the new Ashbee and Stone website to continue browsing.
