Restored Twyfords Celtic Back-to-Wall Pan in Almond
Maintain the streamlined elegance of your built-in bathroom suite with this genuine Celtic toilet in Almond. Manufactured by the heritage brand Twyfords during the 1980s, the Celtic range was a pioneer in the “back-to-wall” movement, designed to sit flush against a furniture unit or a tiled duct to conceal the cistern and pipework. Finished in “Almond”—a sophisticated, creamy neutral—this pan offers a warmer, more inviting finish than standard white.
Sleek Back-to-Wall Design
The Celtic model is celebrated for its robust build and clean architectural lines:
-
Concealed Plumbing: This pan is designed to be used with a concealed cistern (not included), creating a minimalist, clutter-free look that is easy to clean.
-
Almond Palette: A staple of the 1980s and 90s, the Almond glaze provides a versatile backdrop that pairs perfectly with timber cabinetry and traditional tiling.
-
Restored Excellence: This reclaimed unit has been meticulously descaled and polished. It is in very good overall condition, with a “like-new” finish ready for immediate installation.

Why Choose a Celtic Toilet in Almond?
The Celtic toilet in Almond is a vital find for homeowners with bespoke vanity units or fitted bathroom furniture. Because back-to-wall pans rely on specific height and depth dimensions to fit the furniture cut-out, finding an original Twyfords Celtic is the only way to avoid a costly and complicated bathroom remodel. Choosing this restored original preserves your suite’s value while ensuring a perfect, watertight fit.
