Ordering a custom copper bathtub is an exciting experience, but many homeowners wonder what happens after they place an order.
How is a handcrafted copper bathtub made? When will you see the design? How long does production take?
At EliteBathtub (EBB), every copper bathtub is built specifically for you. From the initial CAD drawing to the final shipment, we keep you informed at every stage to ensure your bathtub is exactly as envisioned.
Please don't worry, we will guide you step by step throughout the process, and provide updates and confirmations at each stage.
Step 1: Share Your Design Requirements
Every project begins with your ideas.
Whether you've selected one of our existing models or have a completely custom design in mind, our team will work with you to achieve the final design you want.
We'll confirm details such as:
- Bathtub dimensions
- Copper finish
- Smooth or hammered texture
- Drain location
- Overflow option
- Hardware finish
- Custom design features (Straps/Patterns/Rivets)
If you have inspiration photos or architectural drawings, we're happy to review them. Email us at info@elitebathtub.com.
Step 2: CAD Drawing & Design Confirmation
Once your order is placed, our designers prepare a detailed CAD drawing based on your specifications.
The drawing allows you to review every important detail before production begins, including:
- Overall dimensions
- Drain and overflow locations
- Tub profile
- Custom modifications
- Installation details
If you'd like to make adjustments, we'll revise the drawing until you're completely satisfied.
Please note: Production begins only after the CAD drawing has been approved.
Step 3: Material & Finish Confirmation
For customers who would like additional peace of mind, we can provide a copper finish sample before production.
This allows you to review the color and texture in person and confirm that it complements your bathroom design.
Popular finishes include:
- Natural Copper
- Medium Patina
- Dark Patina
- Vintage Patina
- Rustic Copper Green
- Fired Patina
Once the finish is confirmed, production begins.
Step 4: Handcrafted Production
This is where the craftsmanship comes to life.
Each copper bathtub is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional metalworking techniques.
The process includes:
- Hand forming
- Welding
- Hammering (if selected)
- Surface finishing
- Patina application
- Polishing
- Protective coating
Unlike mass-produced bathtubs, every piece is built specifically for your order. No two copper bathtubs are exactly alike.
Step 5: Quality Inspection
Before your bathtub leaves our workshop, it undergoes a comprehensive quality inspection.
Our team checks:
- ✔ Dimensions
- ✔ Surface finish
- ✔ Weld quality
- ✔ Hardware installation
- ✔ Overall craftsmanship
We want every bathtub to meet our quality standards before it reaches your home.
Step 6: Finished Photos for Your Approval
One of the most exciting parts of the process is seeing the bathtub before it ships.
Once production is complete, we'll send you real-life photos from multiple angles so you can review the finished bathtub.
This gives you the opportunity to confirm:
- Finish color
- Texture
- Overall appearance
- Custom details
Only after your approval will we arrange shipment.
Step 7: Secure Packaging & Shipping
After final approval, your bathtub is carefully prepared for shipment.
Every bathtub is:
- Professionally protected
- Securely crated
- Carefully inspected before dispatch
Once your order ships, we'll provide tracking information and continue to keep you updated until delivery.
Shipping times vary depending on your location, but our team will keep you informed throughout transit.
