Acrylic Baths - clawfoot

Acrylic bathtubs are lightweight, affordable, and retain heat well, great for everyday use and easy installation. Ceramic tubs, on the other hand, are heavier, more traditional, and offer a glossy, long-lasting finish. The better option depends on whether you prioritise cost and practicality or durability and aesthetics.

With proper care, acrylic baths typically last 10-15 years, sometimes longer. They are resistant to staining and chipping, though the surface can scratch if abrasive cleaners are used. Regular cleaning with mild products and avoiding harsh impacts can extend the lifespan significantly, keeping your bath looking new.

Acrylic tubs at MyHomeware are designed to be durable and flexible, so they don’t crack easily under normal use. However, exposure to very heavy impacts or poor installation can cause cracks over time. Reinforced acrylic with fibreglass backing makes them stronger, and following manufacturer guidelines ensures long-lasting performance.
