Luxury Handcrafted Bathroom Fixtures & Bespoke Designs
Catchpole & Rye has been dedicated to crafting luxury bathroom fixtures since 1990, combining heritage with modern innovation. Our journey began with the restoration of a vintage clawfoot tub, sparking a passion for antique sanitaryware that led to in-house manufacturing. Over 30 years, we transformed a Kent dairy farm into a 40,000 sq ft headquarters, housing workshops where skilled craftsmen produce bespoke baths, taps, and fittings. Our commitment to quality is evident in every handmade piece, from cast iron baths to precision-engineered brassware. We specialise in creative solutions tailored to individual client needs, ensuring timeless elegance in both residential and commercial projects. With showrooms in Kent and London, we offer expert design consultations and technical support, serving clients globally.Our accolades, including a Distinction at the Aberdeenshire Design Awards, reflect our dedication to excellence. By maintaining control over every manufacturing stage, from polishing vintage-inspired components to advanced CNC engineering, we guarantee unmatched craftsmanship. Our teams induction into The Worshipful Company of Plumbers underscores our industry leadership. Whether restoring historic properties or supplying luxury international projects, we remain committed to preserving Britains plumbing heritage while embracing innovation. This blend of tradition and modernity positions us as a trusted partner for discerning architects, designers, and homeowners seeking enduring quality.
