The Best of British

Beautiful British Baths

Made by hand in Albion's UK factory, each bath is individually moulded, trimmed and polished to the highest possible standard. Phil Etherden, MD at The Albion Bath Company explains, "We are passionate about preserving manufacturing in the UK. By being involved at every stage of a product, from conception to final creation, we can ensure we produce the highest quality bath tubs." Phil goes on to say "We are also proud to sell direct to our customers from our Essex showroom. This allows us to cater for specific needs and requests so that each Albion product has a personal touch. Something that is often lost in today's internet age."

Albion's USP

The Albion Bath Company have had a mission since they founded in 1996 - to create fine bath tubs that combine the best qualities of cast iron but with modern technology. Phil Etherden, MD at The Albion Bath Company comments 'After two years of intensive development, I formed a new unique material, Iso-Enamel. This was developed from an amalgam of special minerals and stone powders, which ensures that our baths will retain heat in the bathing water, giving bathers the ultimate luxurious experience for longer. It is also less than half the weight of cast iron - so customers can have the cast iron look without having to spend hundreds on reinforcing their bathroom floor. Believe it or not, the average weight of an Albion tub is a mere 70kg.'

Iso-Enamel also retains heat better, insulating the bath water for up to five times longer than the equivalent cast iron model. Cleaning is hassle-free too as this unique material will happily stand up to all modern cleaning products, even limescale removers, with no fear of discolouration, scratching or chipping.  In addition, the exterior of the majority of Albion's baths can be customised with any colour from the Dulux or Farrow and Ball colour palettes - or customers can even choose from one of Albion's burnished metallic options for a luxury look.

Fabulous Handmade Furniture

Albion also offer a collection of high-quality wooden vanity units to compliment their baths, all handmade to order from their Essex workshop. These are available in a range of sizes from 450mm - 1500mm, making them suitable for small cloakrooms through to super-sized bathrooms. Phil explains 'Storage is a crucial part of any bathroom, but it often gets overlooked. With five designs to choose from including double and single basin options, customers will be able to find a solution to perfectly suit their space.' Phil continues,  ‘We’re delighted to be able to offer these high quality, British-made pieces to our customers. Each unit is painted by our own skilled craftsmen using a specialist polyurethane paint that’s ideal for a bathroom. Customers can still choose a Farrow & Ball or Dulux trade colour to create either a coordinated or contrasting look with their bath.'

Stylish Shower Enclosures

Albion's elegant frameless shower enclosures are also manufactured from their Essex factory. They offer a vast range of sizes and formats to suit almost every bathroom configuration. From side or corner entry and 'walk in' enclosures, through to tray or non-tray mounting of the glass, there is shower format to suit everyone. Phil explains, "At Albion, we make our shower enclosures from 10mm thick toughened glass with the added process of post annealing. This provides superior rigidity and durability. All edges, whether exposed or not, are bevelled and polished - providing a luxury finish with superior optical appearance." Phil continues, "It's also worth noting that our fittings are made from 316 marine grade stainless steel. So even with harsh cleaning chemicals and aggressive limescale remover, we can be confident our products are corrosion-free and will look pristine for years to come."
