Yes, each Copper Bath and Brass Bath is coated with a baked-on, hard-wearing compound which maintains the finish and means that the bath only needs to be cleaned with nonabrasive, everyday bathroom cleaner and wiped with a soft cloth. There is no need to reach for the Brasso! Developed for the aviation industry, the coating is durable and flexible, allowing it to stand up to the rigors of regular use.
All surfaces which are supplied plated with Tin, Nickel, or Enamelled are supplied un-coated as all of these elements are non-oxidizing and will need no special maintenance other than cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners as used on the coated surfaces.
No, this is the most common misconception. Copper and Brass are very good conductors, so as the bath is filling up with warm water, the heat permeates through the bath to give an even, overall warmth, and in comparison with a cast iron bath the Copper or Brass will maintain the heat for much, much longer. Even after the water has been drained away our baths remain warm for an hour or so. If a William Holland Bath is fitted onto tiles with under-floor heating, the bath maintains constant ambient warmth.
Not at all, the Copper and Brass will only be as warm as the water poured into it.
A standard William Holland Brass or Copper Bath only weighs about 45 kg, to put this into perspective a cast iron equivalent weighs around 160 kg. Our Baths can therefore be easily installed by one person and are perfect for projects or renovations where weight is an issue.
Oh yes, the design of our Baths allows you to bathe in a more upright position and the generously proportioned curves wrap comfortably around your shoulders. Our Baths are deeper than standard baths, ensuring that there are no shoulders or knees above the waterline, encouraging you to luxuriate and soak.
Certainly, a William Holland Bath, basin, and kitchen sink come with a 10-year construction guarantee and a three-year finish guarantee, although as copper is non-corrosive it will last several lifetimes. Should you decide to remodel your bathroom in the future, we can arrange to remove and refinish the bath to your specification from our extensive range of finishes.
The taps can either be wall mounted or if the bath is positioned in the centre of the room, they can be mounted on standpipes.
Absolutely, William Holland offer a large range of matching taps and fittings which can all be finished to compliment your chosen bath, included in this range is a selection of showers.
William Holland have their own in-house crating service and will arrange sea or airfreight on your behalf.
All of the baths are hand finished to order so as standard are a 6 to 8-week lead time, however, as we do keep everything in stock we can always be flexible on this if you need something delivered quicker for your project then please get in touch.
The basins, kitchen sinks, and shower trays are a 4 to 5-week lead time as standard, again if you do require something quicker then please get in touch.
