At Albion, its often called the ‘Gentleman’s bath’. The Solus roll top bath was the first model to be made by us. Found hiding away in a Colchester reclamation yard, an original cast iron bath was spotted. Sitting there, unloved and unwanted, money changed hands and the Albion story begun. Hurriedly put into our van and taken away to our small workshop, we set about making special moulds.
Creating a faithful replica of a true Victorian bath was vital. But developing our new Iso-Enamel material to work with the original shape was a challenge. After numerous trials and a few disasters we had it sorted. Albion was on it’s way and the Solus was born. The Solus is manufactured in one 1665 x 750 (mm). Available with or without tap holes, allowing the taps to be mounted on the rim of the bath, on Albion stand pipes, or wall mounted. As with all Albion baths, the Solus is made from our unique Iso-Enamel material.
The exterior of the Solus roll top bath can be finished in a colour of your choice. Simply choose any paint colour from Farrow & Ball or Dulux’s ranges and supply us with either the name or code. Or, why not opt for one of our burnished finishes? The choices are gold, iron or bronze.
To combine your free standing bath tub with functional showering, choose our Effusio Over-Bath Shower system. This will give you the day-to-day practicality of a shower, but with the luxury of stylish bathing.
Back in 1996, Albion’s founders had a mission – to create the finest bath tubs available. Their aim was to keep the positive features of cast iron but remove the drawbacks – such as extreme weight and heat loss from the bathing water.
