Ashwell 892 Oval Freestanding Bathtub, 180 cm

Set up in a family bathroom that gets used morning and night, Ashwell 892 plumbs in with a freestanding filler rather than deck-mounted taps, which is what keeps the sides clean.

It is built in stone resin: a stone resin composite, denser than acrylic and colder to the touch until the water's been in a minute, but it holds heat noticeably longer once it has.

Delivery arrives crated on a pallet; two people are needed to move it into the room, ideally before the last stud wall goes up. Nothing on it is one sealed unit — the door, the tray and the fittings come apart the way they went together, for repair or for moving.

Care

Wipe down after use and avoid abrasive cleaners on acrylic or stone resin — they dull the finish permanently. Cast iron and copper only need occasional polishing to keep their look.
