The simple answer is NO! Most waxes melt at a lower temperature than bath water. Even high heat waxes will gradually melt and wear off with use and no-one wants to be bathing in that!
Not to mention the work and elbow grease that goes into polishing and waxing copper baths. Each and every bathtub is made from approx. 12 square metres of copper! That’s 12 square metres that needs to be polished and waxed on a regular basis in order to maintain shine. Trust us… that is not a fun job.
Polishing baths is our job… and we love it J but we know that our clients do not want to spend their days buffing their beautiful baths.
