Only fancy baths with fancy feet etc seem to be worth more than a tenner, before postage

Roll top cast iron look nice when taken out of the frame, especially if they have proper claw feet. Cast iron is *very heavy* and surprisingly difficult to break up with a sledge hammer. And that won't work at all for steel! |
