Marble · Onyx · Travertine · London
A stone bathroom is the hardest room in the house to get right. Every surface meets another at a visible join, the veining has to run through those joins to read as one piece, and the whole thing sits in a room that is wet every day.
We template digitally, cut in our own North London workshop and install with our own teams — so the person who measured the room is accountable for the piece that arrives in it. Floors, walls, shower enclosures, splash-backs, bath surrounds and vanity units.
Marble remains the classic choice, and Calacatta, Statuario and Carrara account for most of what we install. Each is porous, so it wants sealing and a pH-neutral cleaner rather than anything acidic.
Where a bathroom needs to survive harder use, quartzite and granite are considerably denser. Onyx is the opposite — it is chosen for drama rather than durability, and it is at its best backlit, as a feature wall or vanity front rather than a floor.
Travertine and limestone give a quieter, warmer room. Basaltite and Noce Travertine both appear throughout the projects below.
Book-matching mirrors two adjacent slabs so the veining opens like a butterfly across a wall. It only works if the slabs come from the same block, in sequence — which is why we select at the quarry rather than ordering by name.
The same applies to running a vein from a floor up a wall, or across a vanity and into a splash-back. It is decided at slab selection, not on site.
Marble is the classic choice and what most of our bathrooms use. Quartzite and granite are denser and more forgiving of hard use. Onyx is chosen for feature walls and vanities rather than floors, because it is prized for translucency rather than durability.
Marble is porous, so it should be sealed on installation and cleaned with a pH-neutral product. Acidic cleaners, and things like limescale removers, are what cause etching. Sealed and cleaned sensibly, a marble bathroom lasts decades.
Often, yes — but natural stone varies block to block, so an exact match to something installed years ago is rarely possible. Bring us a photograph or an offcut and we will tell you honestly what is achievable.
Yes. We source, fabricate and install with our own teams. We do not sub-contract the installation.
