FAQ
Heritage Hardware Copper Bath FAQs
1. Are Heritage Hardware copper baths comfortable to bathe in?
Absolutely. Our baths are designed for deep, indulgent soaking. The gently curved contours and upright posture cradle the body, while the generous depth ensures your shoulders and knees remain fully submerged — a truly restorative bathing experience.
2. Are Heritage Hardware copper baths heavy?
Surprisingly, no. A standard Heritage Hardware Copper Bath weighs around 45 kg, compared to approximately 160 kg for a cast iron model. This makes installation easier and more flexible — ideal for upper floors, renovations, or projects where weight matters.
3. Will a Heritage Hardware copper bath feel cold or lose heat quickly?
Not at all. Copper is an excellent heat conductor — as warm water fills the bath, the heat naturally spreads through the metal, creating a consistent, soothing warmth. Our copper baths retain heat far longer than cast iron, allowing you to enjoy long, relaxing soaks. If installed on tiles with underfloor heating, the bath remains comfortably warm even when empty.
4. Will the copper bath get too hot?
No, the bath’s temperature reflects the water you pour into it. The copper will never become uncomfortably hot — just evenly warm and inviting.
5. Is the Heritage Hardware copper bath range easy to maintain?
Yes, every Heritage Hardware Copper Bath is crafted for effortless care and lasting beauty. Our Tech Finish protective coating is a durable, baked-on layer developed using advanced material technology to preserve your bath’s rich finish and prevent tarnishing. Simply clean with a mild, non-abrasive bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth — there’s no need for polishing agents.
Finishes such as Tin, Nickel, and Enamel are naturally non-oxidizing and supplied uncoated, requiring only gentle cleaning to maintain their timeless appearance.
6. Do Heritage Hardware baths and basins come with a guarantee?
Yes, all Heritage Hardware baths, basins, and sinks include a 10-year construction guarantee and a 3-year finish guarantee. Because copper is naturally non-corrosive, your bath is built to last a lifetime — and beyond. Should you wish to refinish or restyle your bath in the future, our team can arrange professional restoration and finishing services in your chosen style.
7. Where should I fit the taps?
Taps can be wall-mounted or installed on freestanding standpipes if your bath is positioned centrally in the room. Our design team can advise on the perfect setup for your layout and style.
8. Can I fit a shower above a Heritage Hardware bath?
Yes, all our copper baths can be paired with showers. We offer a coordinated range of taps, fittings, and shower options, all available in matching finishes to complement your chosen bath.
9. Do you offer international shipping?
Yes. Heritage Hardware provides worldwide delivery through our in-house crating and logistics service. Whether by air or sea freight, we ensure your bath arrives safely and in perfect condition.
10. What are the lead times for your products?
Each Heritage Hardware bath is hand-finished to order, with a standard lead time of 8–12 weeks. However, as we maintain a selection of stock baths, we can often accommodate faster delivery for urgent projects.
Basins, sinks, and shower trays have a 8-10 week lead time. If your project requires a quicker turnaround, please contact our team — we’ll always do our best to help.
