BC Designs Brass Freestanding Boat Bath
Description
Handmade from smooth brass sheets and formed into a classic roll-top shape, this striking bateau bath brings timeless elegance into any traditional bathroom. The BC Designs Brass Freestanding Boat Bath is available to order from BathLux in two sizes – 1500mm and 1700mm – and provides a bold centrepiece that elevates period-style interiors.
Each bath features a hand-polished, unlacquered brass finish that will naturally develop a patina over time. Its subtle surface undulations and tonal variations make every bath completely unique. The finish requires regular maintenance to preserve its original shine, giving you the freedom to enjoy the character of raw brass or keep it bright and polished.
We recommend pairing this bath with a BC Designs polished gold waste. An exposed version is available if an overflow is needed.

Optional Painted Finish
BC Designs can paint the exterior of this bath in any Farrow & Ball or Little Greene eggshell colour. Each bath is finished with three or more coats using a roller, creating a water- and fungal-resistant surface that is also washable and wipeable. Please allow up to 30 days for delivery of painted baths.
Once your order is placed with BathLux, email us your chosen RAL colour and number to avoid delays. As painted baths are made to order, we are unable to accept returns based on colour.
