The Humble Bath

Materials.The humble baths is available in all kinds of materials these days, from classic cast iron, steel and acrylic to even wood, marble, granite and composite stone.Cast Iron Baths.The Cast iron is really quite heavy but looks very elegant, strong and will last a long time. This type of bath is usually primed ready for painting your own choice of colour to match the dcor of the room. Some are made up of two layers of stain resistant enamel and undersealed for extra protection. Enfield Plumbers are familiar with these baths.Copper Baths.These are great for olde worlde rooms, and have many benefits. Copper will heat up really quick and holds the heat in the water far longer than a normal bath.Acrylic Baths.These baths hold heat, and are light and historically the cheapest option. They do discolour, so be careful with cleaning products and always test first. Quality Lucite acrylic is the best, and is made from two layers that sandwich a heavily strengthened fibreglass layer to make a sturdy, hardwearing bath with great insulation. An Enfield Plumber can fit all types of baths.Steel Baths.This type is the most durable and usually comes with a long guarantee. There are some lighter models, so there is no need to worry about the risk of your floor collapsing. If you are thinking about cast iron, marble or granite, remember that you’ll need to ensure the floor can cope with the extra weight.Stone Resin Baths.This type really looks like a great big pebble that has been hollowed out. This style of bath have a fantastic, organic feeling to them. They are made of stone resin, and come in Natural Cream or Natural Blanco coloured finishes and you can also pair it with a matching basin as well.
