Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the weight of the bath?

The bath weighs 85kg. It is important to ensure your bathroom floor can adequately support this weight, along with water and occupants.

Does the bath come with taps?

No, this bath does not include taps. It is designed for freestanding or wall-mounted tapware, which must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the transparent resin surface?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads to maintain the finish.

What is the warranty period for the bath body?

The bath body is backed by a 3-year warranty.

Is this bath suitable for standard plumbing connections?

Yes, it requires a standard bathroom waste connection. Tap connections will depend on the type of wall-mounted or freestanding taps you choose to install.

How does the resin material perform in terms of heat retention?

The advanced resin composition offers excellent thermal insulation, helping to retain heat and keep bathing water warmer for a longer period.

What are the dimensions of the bath?

The external dimensions are H550 x W750 x L1700 mm. The internal dimensions are H420 x W480 x L1270 mm.

Can I install this bath myself?

While the bath is lighter than some stone alternatives, its weight and the need for precise plumbing and potential floor reinforcement mean professional installation by a qualified plumber and potentially a builder is highly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Bath seems unstable or uneven.

Ensure the bath is perfectly level. Check that all support feet are correctly adjusted and making firm contact with the floor. Confirm the floor itself is level and capable of supporting the weight.

Water draining slowly.

Check the waste trap and connecting pipework for any blockages. Ensure the waste fitting is correctly installed and the water has a clear path to the main drain.

Surface appears dull or has minor scratches.

Clean the surface thoroughly with a recommended mild cleaner. For light scratches, a resin-specific polishing compound may be used, following the product's instructions. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Difficulty moving the bath after delivery.

This bath is heavy (85kg). Use multiple people, appropriate lifting equipment if necessary, and ensure a clear, unobstructed path. Protect flooring during transit.

  • Provides excellent thermal insulation for longer warm baths.
  • Smooth, non-porous surface is hygienic and easy to clean.
  • Lighter than comparable stone resin baths, aiding installation.
  • Offers design flexibility with tap placement.

Cons

  • Heavy (85kg), requiring careful floor support assessment and installation planning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Floor Load Capacity: Before installation, ensure your bathroom floor can support the bath's weight of 85kg, plus water and occupants. Consult with a qualified installer if unsure.
  2. Placement: Position the bath in your desired location. Note that delivery is doorstep only, so you will need to move the bath from the delivery point to the final bathroom location.
  3. Waste and Overflow: Connect the provided coordinating waste fitting to your existing drainage system. As this is an overflow-free design, ensure your drainage is adequate.
  4. Tap Installation: As there are no pre-drilled tap holes, arrange for your chosen wall-mounted or freestanding tapware to be installed by a qualified plumber, ensuring correct water supply connections.
  5. Levelling: Ensure the bath is perfectly level using adjustable feet (if applicable, consult installer) to prevent water pooling and structural stress.

Compatibility:

  • Tapware: Compatible with all wall-mounted or freestanding tap systems. Standard bath fillers are not suitable due to the lack of pre-drilled holes.
  • Drainage: Requires a standard UK or equivalent bathroom waste outlet.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the bath regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or solvents which can damage the resin finish.
  • Stains: For stubborn water stains or light marks, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and wiped away. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Protection: Use bath mats to prevent scratching and consider using a bath tray to protect the surface from sharp objects or excessive heat.
