Spring Bathrooms Paris Cistern Lid in Misty Grey

Keep your bathroom suite complete and functional with this genuine misty grey cistern lid. Specifically manufactured for the Paris range by Spring Bathrooms (Fordham), this lid is finished in the quintessential “Misty Grey”—a soft, atmospheric pastel grey that was a staple of modern UK homes throughout the 1990s. As the Paris range is now discontinued, finding a replacement lid in such excellent condition is a rare opportunity to repair your toilet without the need for a costly full-suite replacement.

Authentic 1990s Design

The Paris model was celebrated for its clean lines and subtle, rounded edges:

  • Misty Grey Palette: This specific cool-toned grey offers a neutral, sophisticated look that pairs seamlessly with both original 90s tiling and modern monochromatic decor.

  • Factory Standard Match: Because Misty Grey was a standard industry colour for Spring Bathrooms, this original lid provides a 100% tonal match that generic or “universal” lids cannot achieve.

  • Vitreous China Quality: Crafted to the high durability standards of the era’s leading British manufacturers.

Condition and Quality

As a genuine reclaimed item, this lid has been carefully salvaged and inspected to ensure it meets our restoration standards:

  • Very Good Overall Condition: The ceramic is structurally sound and has been professionally cleaned to revive its high-gloss finish.

  • Integrity Guaranteed: Verified to be free of chips or cracks, ensuring a hygienic, aesthetically perfect fit.

  • Ready for Installation: The lid has been descaled and polished, removing the typical “wear and tear” associated with salvaged bathroom parts.

Why Choose This Misty Grey Cistern Lid?

The misty grey cistern lid is a specialised part.

Safe and Secure Delivery

Shipping individual ceramic lids requires expert handling to protect the thin rim edges. We offer secure delivery at an extra cost, utilising reinforced, shock-absorbent packaging to ensure your Paris lid arrives in perfect condition. Alternatively, collection is available from our workshop.
