A handcrafted copper bathtub is not a fixture you pick from a shelf. It is a piece made for one bathroom, by hand, in a size and finish you choose — and it will outlast just about everything else in the room.
This guide covers what to know before you order one: how they are made, the shapes and sizes available, what finishes mean, what affects the price, what comes with the tub, and what to measure before it arrives.
Every tub starts as a sheet of copper. Artisans in Mexico shape it by hand — heating it, hammering it, and finishing it at the bench, the way coppersmiths there have worked for generations. There are no molds and no assembly line.
That is why no two tubs are ever exactly alike. The hammering, the patina, the feet, the engraving — all of it carries the mark of the person who made it. A hand-hammered surface catches light differently from every angle, and the finish keeps changing gently over time as the patina deepens. Copper is also naturally durable and naturally antimicrobial, which is part of why it has been used for bathing for so long.
Our handcrafted copper tubs come in five designs. All five are single-wall copper, made to order in the size and finish you choose.
Victoria Handcrafted Copper Bathtub
A graceful oval on bronze claw feet, made for long soaks. Fifteen hand-applied finishes, from warm natural copper to green patina and matte black. 72" $5,185–$5,389; 67" $5,051; 60" $4,868.
Alexander Handcrafted Copper Bathtub
The bolder of the two ovals — a strong, confident shape with the same hand-hammered surface and fifteen finishes. 72" $4,867–$5,271; 67" $4,965; 60" $4,782.
Angeline Handcrafted Copper Bathtub
The showstopper: a green patina exterior with a warm copper interior. One finish, and it only comes one way — because that pairing is the whole point. 72" $5,271; 67" $5,013; 60" $4,831.
Antonella Handcrafted Copper Bathtub
A slipper tub with a copper exterior and a silver-toned tinned interior — cool and bright inside, warm and rich outside. One finish. 72" $5,320; 67" $5,062; 60" $4,890.
Elizabeth / Clasica Handcrafted Copper Bathtub
A single slipper tub on claw feet — one raised end, made for leaning back. Fifteen finishes, same as Victoria and Alexander. 72" $5,137–$5,341; 67" $5,006; 60" $4,820.
There is also a sixth tub in the collection, Paricutín — a double-wall copper bathtub in matte black only, 68" long, at $6,995. See the single-wall vs double-wall section below for how it differs.
All five designs come in the same three lengths. The choice is about your bathroom, not the design.
| Length | Exterior dimensions | Usable capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 60" | 60" x 31" x 31" | about 300 litres (around 79 gallons) |
| 67" | 67" x 31" x 31" | about 340 litres (around 90 gallons) |
| 72" | 72" x 35" x 35" | about 480 litres (around 127 gallons) |
Dimensions are approximate to within about an inch — that is the nature of something shaped by hand. Custom sizes are available on request.
How to pick: start with the longest tub your bathroom can take, then check the width. The 60" suits a smaller bathroom and still gives a real soak. The 67" is the middle ground. The 72" is the deep, stretch-out soak — nearly 480 litres of it. Measure the space where the tub will sit, and measure the route it will travel to get there: doorways, hallways, and turns.
Finish is where a copper tub becomes yours.
Victoria, Alexander, and Elizabeth each come in fifteen hand-applied finishes, so the same tub can read warm and traditional in natural copper, dramatic in matte black, or softly aged in green patina. Angeline and Antonella each come in their single signature finish — green patina over copper, and tinned silver over copper.
Copper has a living finish. The patina deepens and changes with use, so the surface becomes more personal the longer you live with it. That is not wear — it is the material doing what copper does.
Bronze feet are included with every tub. Copper feet are also available — ask us about them when you order.
Most handcrafted copper tubs, including our five designs, are single-wall: one layer of hand-hammered 18-gauge copper, shaped and finished by hand. A single-wall tub is lighter, and the hammered texture shows on both the inside and the outside.
A double-wall tub has an inner and an outer wall. Our double-wall tub is Paricutín — matte black only, 68" long, $6,995. Double-wall construction costs more and takes longer to build, which is why Paricutín sits above the five single-wall designs in price.
Neither is better in the abstract — it is a question of look, feel, and budget. If you want the hammered copper surface on the inside of the tub, single-wall is the way. If you want the heavier, insulated feel of a double wall, Paricutín is the one.
Handcrafted copper bathtubs are priced by model, length, and finish:
Across the five designs, prices run from $4,782 (Alexander, 60") to $5,389 (Victoria, 72"). The full price for each model and length is listed on its product page — there are no hidden size upcharges beyond what you see there.
Every tub includes a matching drain and ships in a wooden crate, built to protect it on the way to you. Bronze feet are included. Tubs are made to order with a lead time of about five weeks, and freight is quoted separately before you commit.
If any of that is unclear, request a quote and we will walk through it with you before you order.
Copper is easy to live with. Rinse the tub after use and wipe it down with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, which can mark the finish. The patina will deepen over time — that is normal, and it is part of the look.
