A pair of large vintage brass bath taps in excellent working order.

Made in Scotland by Shanks.

Weighty and substantial.

Completely refurbished with stunning and original ceramic indices.

Approximately 6" tall with a reach of 4.5" measured between feed pipe centre and middle of spout outflow. 3/4" BSP feed pipe.

Can be fitted to stands if feeding a freestanding bath. Contact us for a price.

Ideal for a modern or period bathroom.

Solid brass, gently buffed to yield a gleaming finish.

Fully refurbished and guaranteed for 5 years.

All our taps have had the following work completed:

- Old finish chemically removed by a licensed and environmentally responsible local firm
- Tap seats re-machined to obviate the risk of slow drips, as is common on old taps
- New compressed fibre washers have been cut to size by hand using imperial wad punches on a fly press
- Spindles are lathe turned to ensure they meet specific tolerances
- Rubber washers are replaced
- Gland nut packing is repacked in the traditional way using graphite string. This stops water leaking from below the handles
- Polished, again by hand, using a polishing lathe

Guaranteed not to leak!

We operate a small machine shop and can complete custom machining and modifications. We can also get any tap plated in chrome, nickel or copper.
