Care Instructions

QUARRYCASTTM WHITE (GLOSS) BATHS AND BASINS
We recommend rinsing the bath or basin for light daily use with plenty of warm, soapy water. QUARRYCASTTM has excellent stain resistance, but we recommend that bath or basin water containing additives (oils, bath salts, dyes etc.) is always drained. Then the bath or basin is cleaned with fresh, warm water immediately after use. If this method does not remove any marks, we recommend a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Should you need to clean the bath or basin with an abrasive cleaner, as may be required after heavy use or for any stubborn staining, we recommend using an automotive-grade polish. Please note abrasives will cause the disappearance of the glossy look over a long period. Bleach-based cleaning products are compatible with QUARRYCASTTM, although, for environmental reasons, we do not recommend them. Always rinse any cleaning products off the bath or basin with fresh, clean water.

100% MATT BATHS AND BASINS
We recommend cleaning our 100% Matt products with warm, soapy water, per the advice for QUARRYCASTTM White (Gloss) products. All cleaning products should be fully rinsed with fresh, clean water afterwards. For any stubborn staining on products with a 100% Matt finish, we recommend using a fine scouring pad, such as the 3MTM Scotch-BriteTM Hand Pad.

PAINTED BATHS AND BASINS
For painted baths and basins, we recommend following the essential cleaning advice for QUARRYCASTTM White (Gloss) and 100% Matt products for internal use, in addition to the below:
Painted products with a gloss finish can be cleaned with neutral soaps and warm water. Anything more stubborn can be polished with a Polishing Kit, which is available from customer services. Painted products with a matt finish should not be polished and can be cleaned with a specialist matt finish cleaner such as Flitz. Specialist matt finish cleaners will help ensure the finish remains matt. We recommend obtaining a specialist matt or gloss cleaner from an automotive store for stubborn staining. Please follow the instructions on the packaging and ensure the cleaning is not under hard pressure, as this can remove the matt finish.

CHROME, NICKEL, BRASS, BRONZE AND STAINLESS STEEL
We recommend Chrome, Nickel, Brass, Bronze and Stainless Steel products are dried after each use with a soft cloth to reduce any marks from standing water that may contain impurities. Any residues from cosmetic products, aggressive cleaning products and similar should be immediately rinsed away with clean water. Clean with neutral soap and warm water using a microfibre cloth. A 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water is recommended to remove limescale. Apply to cotton wool and wrap on the area for a maximum of 60 minutes, and then rinse clean with clean water, repeat as required. For Stainless Steel products, stubborn marks can be removed with a soft cloth and specialist stainless steel cleaner. Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals containing acids, alkaline, caustics or grits. Bleaches, alcohol and vinegar-based cleaners should be avoided. Do not use abrasive cloths, scouring pads, scrub sponges, steel wool etc., as these can scratch the product's surface and promote deterioration of the finish.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

QUARRYCASTTM is scratch resistant. However, if any scratches do occur in extreme conditions, such as installation, these can be removed with the correct treatment.

For QUARRYCASTTM White (Gloss) products, light scratches that cannot be felt with a fingernail may be removed by polishing with a fine-cut automotive compound. If they remain, try rubbing with a fine (2000 grit) waterproof abrasive paper on a sanding block with water. Re-polish the surface afterwards using a fine-cut automotive rubbing compound from reputable or professional auto paint supply stores. Limit sanding to the smallest possible area around the scratch for best results. Deep scratches that can be felt with a fingernail will require a more specific repair, and we recommend you contact customer services to be talked through the steps.

For 100% Matt products, any light scratches that cannot be felt with a fingernail may be removed by rubbing in a circular motion with a scouring pad using light pressure. If they remain, try rubbing with a fine (1500-2000 grit) waterproof abrasive paper on a sanding block with water. For deeper scratches, please get in touch with customer services.

Download Specification

The Marlborough Freestanding Bateau Slipper Bath adds a touch of luxury and elegance to any bathroom. The traditional Victorian French roll-top bath inspired the bateau bathtub. The double-ended slipper silhouette provides maximum comfort and style while also providing the convenience of a freestanding bath in that it can be placed anywhere in the room. Its plinth offers the necessary support and stability to prolong use—an ideal choice for those seeking a touch of elegance.

Victoria + Albert Baths are crafted from a patented technology QUARRYCAST™ material that provides an inherently superior bath. The QUARRYCAST™ material was developed using a proprietary blend of Volcanic Limestone™ and high-performance resins. The result is a world-class stone composite with unparalleled strength, durability, and beauty. The naturally white, glossy surface is incredibly durable and resistant to hair dyes and bath oils. QUARRYCAST™ is a solid material that is more than twice as hard as acrylic and does not creak or flex. QUARRYCAST™ is warm to the touch and has outstanding insulating properties, keeping your bath water warmer for longer. The naturally glossy surface is easy to wipe clean.

We can create our bathtubs in bespoke colours to match any RAL. Feel free to request a consultation by reaching out to hello@bildenhome.com
