I just bought a studio apartment in a New York City co-op with original 1960s plumbing.
Because it's a co-op, I am currently limited to the work I can do in my bathroom.... and I am desperately trying to find replacement pieces for everything pictured here -- but in a rubbed bronze finish.
I think I have found a shower pipe that will work....and I possibly might have found a tub spout...but I am still having quite a challenge in finding the 3 faucets, the overflow faceplate with attached chain and the drain trim.
The handyman in my building is helping me. He is extremely kind and very knowledgeable about a lot of things related to plumbing.
But since these fixtures are so old, it is definitely a challenge to find new versions in rubbed bronze that can simply be installed in place of the existing ones (as I am not approved at this time to break into the wall and change the plumbing itself)
I am overjoyed to have found this forum and figured it was worth a try to share my question.
If I can't find the replacements for all of these, I'm gonna replace what I can -- one by one -- and then I am researching how to spray paint the remaining fixtures to rubbed bronze.
Thank you in advance for any help at all that you can provide
