Living Brass Showers

Living Brass Showers

For those who appreciate the beauty of a living finish, polished brass offers timeless elegance with authentic character. Rich, warm and beautifully reflective, its golden tones bring a sense of craftsmanship and understated luxury to any bathroom. Unlacquered by design, polished brass will naturally develop a rich patina over time, responding to touch, moisture and its surroundings to create a finish that is entirely unique to your home.

Crafted from solid brass and fitted with premium thermostatic cartridges, every Ashbee and Stone shower combines enduring quality with exceptional performance. Explore our collection of concealed, exposed and semi-exposed showers, available with rainfall heads, handheld showers and a choice of configurations, allowing you to create a showering experience perfectly suited to your space and style.

Each of our living brass showers is individually hand polished before dispatch, ensuring every component begins its journey from the same beautifully bright finish. From there, the brass will gradually mature, developing its own unique character and creating a shower that becomes even more distinctive with age.

Understanding Our Brass Finishes

Choosing the right brass finish is about more than appearance, it's about how you want your bathroom to look and evolve over time. 

Living Brass is an unlacquered finish that develops a rich, natural patina, creating a shower full of individual character. Brushed Brass offers a softer, satin appearance with a subtle texture, providing a warm, understated look while retaining its original finish. Timeless Brass features a durable PVD coating that preserves its rich golden colour, offering exceptional resistance to scratches, tarnishing and everyday wear. 

Whether you prefer a finish that matures gracefully or one that remains beautifully consistent, each has been carefully crafted to suit a different style of bathroom and way of living.

Frequently Asked Questions About Showers

Find answers to some of the most common questions about our shower sets.

Showers

What type of showers are available from Ashbee and Stone?

Ashbee & Stone offers a wide range of luxury shower sets in traditional, contemporary and industrial styles. The collection includes exposed, semi-exposed and concealed shower sets, with options such as fixed shower roses, rigid risers, handshowers, slider rails and dual-outlet configurations. Many designs are available in finishes including polished brass, brushed brass, polished nickel, brushed nickel, matt black and chrome, allowing you to choose a shower that complements your bath, brassware and wider bathroom scheme.

Are Ashbee and stone showers thermostatic?

Yes. Ashbee & Stone showers are designed with thermostatic temperature control, using high-quality European thermostatic cartridges to help maintain a safe, consistent and comfortable showering experience. This helps protect against sudden changes in water temperature while delivering the refined performance expected from a luxury shower.

How do I clean my shower from Ashbee and Stone?

Clean your Ashbee & Stone shower regularly with a soft cloth and warm, mild soapy water, then rinse and dry the surface to help prevent water spots and limescale build-up. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, bleach and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Ashbee & Stone tapware and showers are cast from solid brass, and some finishes will naturally patina over time, particularly living finishes such as living brass and polished nickel. Where required, polished brass can be restored with a suitable metal polish, but this should be done sparingly and only after cleaning the surface first.

Can I install my shower myself or do I need a professional plumber?

We recommend that Ashbee & Stone showers are installed by a qualified professional plumber to ensure they are fitted safely, correctly and in line with the installation instructions supplied with your product. This is especially important for thermostatic shower valves, concealed shower systems and multi-outlet configurations. If you need a copy of the installation instructions before fitting, please contact our team on 01723 585896 or email [email protected].

What is the difference between a walk in and a shower enclosure?

A walk-in shower is usually an open, minimalist shower area with one or more glass panels and no fully closing door. It creates a spacious, contemporary look and is ideal for larger bathrooms or wet-room style layouts.

 

A shower enclosure is a more contained showering space, typically formed with glass panels and a door, such as a hinged, sliding or quadrant enclosure. It is designed to keep water within a defined area, making it a practical choice for smaller bathrooms, ensuites and layouts where splash control is important.

 

Both options can create a beautiful luxury bathroom; the right choice depends on your available space, desired style and how much water containment you need.

What sizes do Ashbee and stone shower enclosures come in?

Ashbee & Stone walk-in shower enclosures are available in a range of tray sizes to suit different bathroom layouts, including 1200mm x 800mm, 1200mm x 900mm, 1400mm x 800mm and 1400mm x 900mm. Depending on the collection, glass panel sizes may also vary, allowing you to choose a configuration that best fits your space. Please check the individual product page for the exact size options available for your chosen enclosure.

What is a rainfall shower?

A rainfall shower is a shower with a larger fixed shower head, often called a shower rose, designed to let water fall evenly from above in a soft, rain-like flow. It creates a more relaxing and luxurious showering experience than a standard directional shower head.

 

Rainfall showers can be ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted on a shower arm or riser, and are often paired with a separate handshower for added flexibility when rinsing, cleaning the shower area or bathing children and pets.
