We immediately fell in love with the shower design

Olly and Rowan bought a run-down house near Cambridge with the dream of refurbishing it into a home they loved. In the past, it had been used as a bakery, an art gallery and a corner shop, so it needed a lot of work to return it to its former Victorian glory. The refurbishment of their bathrooms, and in particular the shower design, were a very important part of the renovation.

Our vision

Our house hadn’t been treated well and needed a new lease of life. We wanted to respect its history by restoring it back to the way it looked when it was built in the late nineteenth century.

Our choices

For our main bathroom, we’d already chosen deep-green tiles in a classic Victorian style. We wanted an antique-looking shower to match, as well as one for our smaller bathroom, so we turned to Matki for help.

Our perfect shower

We chose Matki as we wanted the best quality and most beautiful shower we could get. We’d looked at some other companies, but they were more expensive and didn’t have what we were after.

When we spoke to Raph at Matki, he was so helpful. He told us all about Matki’s new range in aged brass, which is when we knew we’d hit the jackpot. It was exactly what we were looking for.

Aged Brass

When we saw the Classica shower frame in aged brass, we immediately fell in love. We couldn’t believe anyone made a shower like that! It’s hard to find a shower to fit the vibe of a Victorian bathroom as they didn’t exist back then, but this one was perfect.

The service was incredible

Raph was unbelievably kind, patient and helpful. His knowledge of the products was so impressive and he immediately understood exactly what we wanted.

Raph insisted on being there during the shower fitting just to make sure everything was perfect. During such a stressful time, he made us feel so reassured that everything was exactly how it should be.

Thanks to Raph and Matki, our bathrooms were the one thing in our refurb that happened completely seamlessly. We can’t recommend them enough.
