OmniStudio

The colour is permanent — it's part of the material itself, not a finish applied on top. Every coloured Omnitub has the colour running right through the Omnigel surface, so there's nothing to chip, peel or wear off.

• It won't fade — the colour is locked into the gel, not a paint or coating sitting on the surface.
• It can't chip through to a different colour underneath — the colour is the surface.
• It's matched to your exact specification — a BS 4800 or RAL code, a Pantone reference, or a physical sample (a tile, a piece of trim, anything you send us).

Because the colour is built in rather than sprayed on, a coloured Omnitub carries the same lifetime durability as a white one — made to last a lifetime, never painted on.

You're not limited to a fixed palette — your Omnitub is made to order in the colour you specify. We match to:

• a BS 4800 code
• a RAL reference (including metallic-look colours such as a copper RAL)
• a Pantone reference
• or a physical sample you send us — a tile, a piece of trim, a fabric swatch, anything carrying the colour you want

The colour runs right through the Omnigel surface (never painted on), so whatever you choose is permanent and carries the same lifetime durability as a white tub.

A coloured tub is made to order, with a 14 working day production lead time before dispatch — and if it suits your project better, we can hold it and deliver to a later date.

One thing to be clear on: we colour-match to a code or a sample, including metallic-look shades like copper. We don't make baths in actual metal — a 'copper' Omnitub means a copper-coloured Omnigel finish, not a copper bath.

Choosing your colour is beautifully simple. Every coloured Omnitub is made to a RAL reference — the colour system used right across the design, architecture and decorating world. You can view the entire RAL range on a fan deck, online, or at any paint merchant, and see your exact shade in its true form before you decide. (We also work to BS 4800 references.)

Once you've chosen your RAL code, that is precisely the colour your tub is made in — matched exactly and carried right through the Omnigel, so it stays true and consistent across the whole piece, for life.

Because RAL is a published, universally recognised reference, the shade you view is the shade you receive — wherever you are in the world. There's no waiting on a sample in the post to make your decision.

Looking for a colour beyond these ranges? We'd be glad to match it — simply send us the sample you'd like us to work from (a paint chip, a tile, a piece of trim) and we'll match your tub to it directly.

Every Omnitub is finished by hand. Our hand-polished finish is widely regarded across the industry as a step above a standard gloss finish — for a depth and clarity of surface that sprayed finishes simply can't match. It's what gives an Omnitub its quiet, considered luxury, and it comes as standard on every tub, in any colour.

If you'd prefer a softer, matt finish, we offer it on a select few designs:

• our 1500 round soaking tub, finished in matt, and
• our 1100 × 700, available in either the hand-polished finish or matt.

And for a bespoke commission, we can create your tub in a matt finish too — just let us know when you enquire.

If you've your heart set on a matt option and can't yet see it listed, simply get in touch and we'll be delighted to arrange it for you.

Either — it's your choice, made in the studio. After you pick your waste, we offer to core the overflow (£75) and drill the tap holes (£75) to the exact positions you choose, before your tub leaves Somerset — so there's nothing to measure, core or second-guess on fitting day.

Prefer to do it on site? Every tub ships with our step-by-step drilling guide, and your tub stays standard and fully returnable. Once we drill it to your specification it becomes a bespoke, made-to-order item, so it can't be returned — except, of course, if it arrives damaged in transit.

If your tub sits in a recess, corner or alcove, we can trim the rim on the sides that meet a wall so the tub slots into your exact space — £75 per cut, in 5 mm steps. The open sides keep their full rim for access.

Free-standing tubs need no trimming at all. You choose your install — one wall, a corner or an alcove — in the studio, set the size on each walled side, and sign it off. Trimming makes your tub bespoke and non-returnable, except for transit damage.

You choose the side in the studio and we core the Ø52 mm overflow at the 525 mm soak line. On our 600 range it sits flush; on the Sheer range it's flush on the wide end and stands slightly proud on a long side — which is fine when that side faces a wall.

If you've trimmed a side, the studio shows you exactly whether the overflow on that side will stand proud and by how much, so there are no surprises — and a small protrusion simply tucks into the wall recess.

No — the waste hole is pre-drilled in a fixed position, shown on the plan in the studio, and can't be moved. It's the overflow, the tap holes and the trimming that you tailor to your bathroom.

The standard layout — two holes for ¾″ tap tails at 180 mm centres, on the rim — which suits about 95% of bath taps. If you're using a different tap design, tell us in the studio and our team will confirm the template with you before we drill.

Wall-mounted or floor-standing taps need no holes in the tub at all, so you can skip this step.

Drilling or trimming makes your Omnitub a bespoke, made-to-order item cut to your specification, so it becomes non-returnable. This never affects your legal right to a replacement or refund if your tub arrives damaged in transit.

So you have a complete record, you sign off the exact positions and sizes in the studio, and we email the signed specification to you with your order.
