Shires Denbigh Cistern Lid | Misty Grey (Whisper Grey)

Restore your bathroom suite with this original misty grey cistern lid, specifically designed for the Shires Denbigh low-level cistern. Produced during the late 1980s and early 1990s, Misty Grey (often referred to by other manufacturers as Whisper Grey) was a defining neutral of the era, offering a soft, cool alternative to standard white.

Product Compatibility

The Denbigh was a staple model for Shires Bathrooms, known for its reliable performance and clean, classic lines. This lid is a factory-accurate replacement, ensuring a perfect fit and a seamless colour match for your existing Misty Grey Denbigh cistern.

Condition and Quality

Reclaiming specific cistern lids in good condition is a challenge, as they are frequently the first parts to be damaged during renovations. This item has been carefully salvaged and is in very good overall condition. It has been thoroughly inspected to ensure there are no chips or cracks, and the vitreous china glaze retains its original smooth finish.

Why Choose a Genuine Replacement?

Using an original misty grey cistern lid preserves the aesthetic integrity and value of your vintage bathroom. Modern universal lids rarely offer the correct overhang or tonal match, whereas this genuine Shires part guarantees the architectural look intended by the original manufacturer.

Safe and Secure Delivery

Shipping fragile ceramic lids requires professional expertise. We offer specialised delivery at an extra cost, using reinforced, high-impact packaging to ensure your replacement lid arrives in one piece. Alternatively, collection is available from our workshop.
