It takes up to 14 hours for a single skilled foundry worker to hand-polish the exterior of a Drummonds cast iron bath. This meticulous process reveals the raw, hand-poured iron beneath, refining it to a smooth, high-shine finish that honours the material’s natural pitting and subtle irregularities. Once perfected, the surface is sealed with a specialist lacquer, preserving its depth and lustre for years to come. Polished iron is one of our choices of custom finishing a bath tub, offering a refined, architectural presence within both traditional and contemporary interiors.
