The bath has really been forgotten over the last few years, with most people opting for the convenience of a shower instead. Even though this is the case many people still retain their bath as somewhere to stand for the shower as it forms the cubicle and drain all in one. Hoxton Plumbers can supply and fit all appliances.
Although its had a hard time the bath is still available and in lots og guises and in lots of materials too, from classic cast iron, steel and acrylic to even wood, marble, granite and composite stone. Here are some examples: The Copper Bath is perfect great for old style rooms, and have many benefits. Copper will heat up really quick and holds the heat in the water far longer than a normal bath. The Cast Iron Bath 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 décor of the room. Some are made up of two layers of stain resistant enamel and undersealed for extra protection.Acrylic Baths retain the heat, are light and the cheapest option. They lose their colour so be careful with cleaning products. Pentonville Plumbers use only skilled tradespeople. High quality Lucite acrylic is the best, and has two layers that sandwich a heavily strengthened fibreglass layer to create a sturdy, hardwearing bath with great insulation. The Steel Bath is probably the most durable and should come 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 really look 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.
