Shires Bathrooms | Avocado Pedestal | Replacement Ceramic

Complete your retro suite with this genuine avocado pedestal. Manufactured by Shires Bathrooms, a household name in classic British sanitaryware, this pedestal is finished in the quintessential Avocado glaze. While often the subject of design nostalgia, Avocado remains a sought-after shade for those performing faithful period restorations or creating eclectic, multi-coloured bathroom designs.

Product Features and Versatility

This pedestal is designed to be universal across a variety of Shires washbasins, providing both structural support and a clean finish to your plumbing.

• Functional Design: Neatly conceals the basin trap and pipework, ensuring a streamlined look for your washroom.

• Durable Vitreous China: Made from high-quality ceramic that is easy to clean and resistant to fading, maintaining that rich 70s pigment for years to come.
