Holyrood Architectural Salvage was born in the mid-nineties and focused originally on roll top baths.

Managing director Ken Fowler had a bath badly restored for his own house by a local company and thought that he could do better! He started “All About Baths” employing local spray painter David Gallacher. Ken & Dave soon had a thriving business restoring antique baths in Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Borders.

Ken then started to source roll top baths for resale, took on a single workshop in Leith and when Dave didn’t have a customer’s bath to restore he would come to the workshop and enamel the bath that Ken had sourced. The salvage side of the business was born!

Ken continued to buy baths, Dave continued to restore them and a small showroom/workshop was rented just off Gayfield square. This damp dark & dingy showroom which may still be remembered by some of you was really the start of something big!
