Misty Grey Astura Pedestal Basin | Trent / Johnson Bros

Restore the seamless look of your bathroom with this genuine misty grey basin. Manufactured as part of the elegant Astura range by Trent (Johnson Bros), this pedestal basin is finished in the quintessential “Misty Grey.” Known for its cool, tranquil undertones, this shade was a staple of premium British bathrooms throughout the late 20th century and remains a top choice for those performing authentic period repairs.

Universal Colour Compatibility

One of the greatest advantages of the Astura range is its exceptional tonal consistency. If you are performing a “like-for-like” replacement, this Misty Grey basin provides a perfect colour match for fixtures originally produced by:

• Armitage Shanks & Ideal Standard (Whisper Grey)

• Twyfords & Royal Doulton

• Spring Bathrooms & Shires

Clean 1-Tap Hole Design

The Astura model was designed with a focus on modern-retro minimalism:

• 1-Tap Hole Layout (1TH): This configuration is perfectly suited for a modern mono-mixer tap, allowing you to combine vintage tonal charm with the performance of contemporary plumbing hardware.

• Generous Proportions: With a 58cm width, this basin provides a comfortable washing area, making it ideal for main family bathrooms or master en-suites.

• Full Pedestal Support: The matching pedestal (available separately or as a set) conceals all unsightly pipework, creating a clean, architectural finish.

Condition and Availability

As a specialist in discontinued sanitaryware, we ensure every piece meets our rigorous quality standards:

• Excellent Restored Condition: This reclaimed basin has been professionally cleaned and descaled, ensuring the vitreous china is smooth, hygienic, and free from chips or cracks.

• Extensive Stock: We carry a large inventory of Misty Grey and Whisper Grey bathroom ware. If you are looking for a specific cistern, pan, or bidet to complete your suite, please contact us directly.

Why Choose a Misty Grey Basin?

The misty grey basin is a “hero” product for heritage homeowners. Because Misty Grey is a discontinued pigment, sourcing an original Trent basin is the only way to avoid a mismatched suite. It allows you to preserve the value and aesthetic harmony of your home while updating your fixtures to a “like-new” standard.

Delivery and Collection
