Bespoke Baths

by Victorian Bathrooms

or over three decades, Victorian
Bathrooms has partnered with
Fleading South African bath
manufacturers to design luxurious
freestanding baths that meet the exacting
standards of designers and architects.
These bespoke baths, exclusive to Victorian
Bathrooms, are handcrafted and truly one-
of-a-kind creations, offering unparalleled
quality and customisation options.

baths typically comes in a classic white

such as lead, brass, and copper. These
metals develop a natural patina over

gracefully, ensuring no two baths are ever
identical.
