Thomas Crapper unveils new collection: tradition meets timeless style

Bathroom-Review-Thomas-Crapper-Suite.

Classic British bathroom brand Thomas Crapper has revealed its autumn/winter 2025 collection – a refined edit of basins, washstands, WC suites and accessories that blend period detailing with contemporary practicality.

The Florin Suite – deco elegance

Leading the launch is Florin, a new basin and WC suite inspired by Art Deco architecture. Bold lines are softened by subtle curves, offering elegance with a touch of versatility. Customers can choose from a full pedestal, classic wall brackets or a wooden washstand for a tailored finish.

Versatile washstands

Thomas Crapper’s new washstands are designed to pair with the florin basin or a sit-on model. They come in two widths – 600mm and 1200mm – with a drawer or shelf option. Finish choices include natural oak, crisp white, and a handpicked palette of heritage paints, with tones echoing Farrow & Ball classics.

The Greenwich Suite

A pared-back update to the popular Marlborough range, Greenwich offers a more streamlined silhouette while keeping the brand’s timeless appeal. This accessible collection pairs seamlessly with the well-loved venerable wc pan, making it ideal for both renovations and new installations.

Compact wall-hung furniture in standout shades

New Bromley and Bentham wall-hung units add style to smaller spaces. Available in oak, forest green and indigo blue, each unit is colour-matched to its basin, creating a bold, unified look with compact proportions.

Brassware in four finishes for every style
The Palais and Cruze tap collections now include monobloc and 3-hole deck mixers, alongside thermostatic shower options. Finishes include chrome, nickel, polished brass, and brushed brass, with a choice of lever or crosshead handles – ideal for both period homes and modern interiors.

Flush plates with flair

Lever-style dual flush plates join the collection, echoing the brand’s attention to detail. Designed to work with concealed cisterns, they deliver both function and style.

Each piece in the AW25 launch reflects Thomas Crapper’s founding values: “devoted to quality, for lasting luxury”. From Victorian townhouses to bold country homes or refined modern settings, this new collection respects tradition while offering a fresh take on British bathroom design.

Ideal Standard & Armitage Shanks introduce Conceala 3 range

Bathroom-Review-Conceala-Range-Armitage-Shanks-Ideal-Standard

Bathroom manufacturer Ideal Standard and Armitage Shanks has added to its family of concealed cisterns, flush plates, and buttons with its new entry-level Conceala 3 range. 

Perfect for commercial and residential settings, the Conceala 3 in-wall cisterns join the existing ProSys® premium cisterns and frames offering and are available in top, side, and bottom water supply inlet variants. Conceala 3 can use both pneumatic and syphon lever flush activations, and there’s also a cable-operated model on offer, fitting seamlessly into bathroom furniture units. The variety of models gives installers and developers installation flexibility for projects of all kinds. Furthermore, the flat back design and lack of bottom lugs on the tank make installing it easier, saving time across projects.  

Conceala 3’s pneumatic models feature a new 2-inch water outlet improving flush performance, whilst an innovative ‘silencer tube’ and mesh filter on the inlet valve ensure a quieter filling process – ensuring the entire mechanism is truly out of sight and out of mind. 

To complete the look, a dedicated range of pneumatic buttons and flush plates are available in traditional chrome, stainless steel and sleek black finishes, enabling developers and contractors to coordinate a full suite of products easily. Conceala 3 also works with several of Ideal Standard’s existing ProSys® flush plates, which offer extended colour choices including the Solea plate in white, chrome, brushed chrome, and black, and the Septa Pro push button in white. 

With sustainability being such a huge focus for developers and specifiers, considerations have been built into Conceala 3’s dual-flushing models, which deliver a flush of 6/4 litres as standard. This can be further reduced to a minimum of 4/2.6 litres with a simple adjustment during installation. Single-flush models are also available. Delayed fill inlet valves are standard across all models, stopping water waste during the flushing process and further decreasing Conceala 3’s environmental impact.

Meanwhile, Ideal Standard’s ProSys® cisterns have SmartValve water-saving technology that cuts water usage by up to 63 litres a week in an average four-person household. 

Both Conceala 3 and ProSys® are ideal behind-the-wall solutions for commercial and residential projects where sustainability and water reduction are a priority. The ranges fully support building accreditation for BREEAM and are compliant with all UK water regulations.
