At Victoria + Albert, we use a special white rock that we call Volcanic Limestone™. It is a key ingredient in every bath and basin we manufacture.

Starting life as a soft and chalky limestone, its creation is one of natural transformation after being exposed to huge elemental forces from liquid magma. After millions of years, the high temperature and pressure results in incredibly hard, strong strands being formed. Once ground to a powder, we blend the Volcanic LimestoneTM with high quality resins to form QUARRYCAST® - a world class composite that is rock solid, scratch resistant and exclusive to Victoria + Albert.

With the peace of mind of a 25-year domestic guarantee*, choosing Victoria + Albert is more than a purchase, it’s an investment for life.

*Guarantee limited to QUARRYCAST® products only; excluding waste kits, accessories & decorative finishing. This does not affect your statutory rights.

*The exact colour and finish of products may vary from those depicted in this brochure. We always recommend that consumers visit their nearest Victoria + Albert approved stockist.

*Please note that not all feet shown on baths in this brochure are necessarily the feet that come standard with the bath.

*Please note that measurements are approximate and could vary slightly.

QualityVolcanic Limestone™ is Victoria + Albert’s name for the very special white rock that is perfect for making baths and basins.

This is formed when the elemental forces associated with liquid magma act upon surrounding soft, chalky limestone. The immense heat and pressure from the magma transforms the neighbouring rock into a new material made up of incredibly hard strands.

Find a sample of Volcanic Limestone™ at your local Victoria + Albert dealership.

Victoria + Albert blends milled Volcanic Limestone™ with high quality resins to bind these strands into a complex 3D matrix. The finished result is QUARRYCAST® - a world class composite with an exceptional strength to weight ratio.

A stone rich unique alternative to both cast-iron and acrylic which produces a 100% hand finished, one piece product packed with desirable natural properties and backed by a 25 year guarantee for your peace of mind.

QUARRYCAST® – the original freestanding bath composite and still the best. Ask to see and feel the difference at your local dealer.
