Freestanding and Roll Top Baths are made by hand in our Weeley UK factory. We have been able to combine the virtues of a cast iron bath but without its drawbacks by using a special material called Iso-Enamel. Cast Iron is know for it solidity. However it is heavy and will quickly draw the heat from your bathing water. Iso-Enamel eradicates these issues. By using an amalgam of special resins and stone powders, our material gives you the best of both worlds. Not be confused with acrylic, an Albion bath is strong durable and rigid. Our baths are available in a wide range of sizes but start from only 1200mm long. Check out our ever popular Apollo Classic bath.
Why not customise your new bath. Have our expert painters paint the bath exterior a colour of your choice. Likewise the bath feet can be painted, metallic burnished or electroplated with nickel or chrome.
To discuss your needs, simply get in touch and we can talk through all of the available options.

Back in 1994, Albion’s founders had a mission – to create the ultimate bathtubs. After looking at the market it was clear that only two materials were available at the time. Acrylic, which is a soft plastic, became popular in the 1970’s due to ease of manufacture and low cost. However, acrylic’s properties fell short of what the customer wanted. It’s flexibility was always an issue. People reported a dread of taking a bath, as they felt the tub might break under their weight. People also said that acrylic was easy to scratch and always had a ‘cheap look about it’. These shortcomings remain today.
Cast Iron baths have been used for over 120 years. They’ve gained a reputation for being the ‘real-thing’ however, cast iron has many drawbacks, such as excessive weight, incredible heat loss from the bathing water and a proneness to surface chipping. Homeowners also found that liquid cleaners would ruin the white interior surface.
After two years of development, Albion had it sorted. A new material was created from an amalgam of high technology resin and a special reinforced mineral. Manufactured in our own factory, this material was named Iso-Enamel due to its high strength and hard surface. This formulation is cast into moulds and allowed to harden. To this day, our special process is unique and offers benefits that other materials cannot provide.
So what’s so good?
An Albion bath is 1/3rd the weight of a cast iron bath. The average weight of our roll top baths is 70kg.
Your bathing water will stay hotter for up to five times longer.
Customise the bath exterior with any colour from the Dulux or Farrow and Ball colour palettes – or choose one of our burnished metallic options.
The widest range of sizes from any Free Standing bath manufacturer.
