Bath Stone Steps with Inlaid Number

In this project for Robin Swailes Design, Stoneworld created made to measure steps from Bath Stone with an inlaid In this project for Robin Swailes Design, Stoneworld created made-to-measure steps from Bath Stone, complete with an inlaid steel house number designed specifically for the client. The result is a refined, practical feature that blends traditional British stonework with a modern, personalised detail.

Bath Stone was chosen for its warm, honey-coloured tone and fine grain — qualities that have made it a popular choice in British architecture for centuries. Its natural consistency and durability make it ideal for bespoke step design, offering both aesthetic appeal and long-term resilience. The inlaid steel number adds a contemporary contrast, creating a striking focal point that’s as functional as it is stylish.

Stoneworld’s water-jet cutting technology was used to achieve precision and a clean finish, ensuring that the steel insert fitted perfectly within the stone. This level of accuracy allows for intricate, made-to-order designs that can be replicated or adapted to suit any property style. All masonry work was completed in our on-site workshop, where our skilled team combine advanced machinery with traditional stoneworking expertise.

This project highlights how modern fabrication methods and traditional materials can come together to produce a seamless and distinctive result. Whether for entrances, steps, or signage, combining Bath Stone with other materials such as metal can elevate the overall design while maintaining a natural, timeless quality.
