Soaking Tub, Dunedin, New Zealand
“My partner and I had long desired a Japanese-style bathtub. With limited local options, we were fortunate to discover Cabuchon, who provided exceptional assistance throughout the entire journey. The bathtub arrived impeccably packaged, and its quality surpassed our expectations. Overall, we're thrilled with our purchase!”
Deep Soaking Tub, Cambridge, England
"We had a small bathroom and wanted to maximise its use. We realised that a deep soaking tub would be a great solution. The whole experience with Cabuchon was fantastic. We were immediately taken by the quality of the product. The tub has exceeded our expectations. Until you have it installed and use it, you don’t fully appreciate the quality and practicality.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Maryland, USA
"Working with Cabuchon Bathforms to purchase the Takara was fantastic. From answering questions, providing options and information, as well as the name of a reputable agent to help us get the tub through customs, they were great. Turns out ordering a tub from overseas was the easy part of our bathroom renovation!"
Deep Soaking Tub, North Yorkshire, UK
“We don’t have a large bathroom but we wanted a walk-in shower and a bath, so we had to get creative. A Japanese soaking bath seemed the perfect solution so we turned to Cabuchon to help us make the right choice. They were always ready to answer our questions … and we are absolutely delighted with the result.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Trafford, UK
“Jane loves a bath and one day wistfully said she wished we could have a Japanese soaking tub. We were really taken by the Nirvana tub. It is the first bath I have ever been comfortable enough to fall asleep in, and Jane is absolutely delighted as she can soak up to her shoulders, and the heat retention is absolutely fabulous.”
Deep Soaking Tub, California, USA
“I (was) looking for a bathtub that I could easily enter and exit. As I could not find any in the United States in a style that would work in my bathroom, I expanded my search. And there it was, Cabuchon’s Easy Access Takara Deep Soaking Bath. It was perfect! This is one very happy customer in Northern California. Thank you, Cabuchon!”
Deep Soaking Tub, Washington, USA
“Thank you for our perfect deep soaking bath. Our space was limited and this tub fits perfectly. We appreciated your willingness to answer all our questions and possible concerns. The installation instructions were spot on. Importing to the US was something that we had not done before and it was very easy.”
Soaking Tub, California USA
“We are very happy with our Imersa. We came upon Cabuchon after unsuccessfully trying to find something suitable in the US. We had two criteria: one was that the tub be deep enough, the other was that the tub would fit in our limited space. The Imersa fulfilled both criteria… It is very comfortable and relaxing to sit in and soak.”
Japanese Soaking Tub, Lancaster, UK
“When I was a child, I stayed for a weekend in a London flat, where there was a Japanese soaking tub. I was wowed by this. Throughout my adult life I have hankered for that deep, warm immersive bathing experience, unlike anything a cast iron bath can give… I just can't believe how lucky I am to have made a childhood dream come true.”
Hydrotherapy Bath, Surrey, England
“Cabuchon were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in answering our many questions, and the flexibility with the design was surprising. We were able to specify precisely where our clients wanted the jets – to target back-pain concerns – and the sampling, orders, installation and after-care advice were swift and professional.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Texas USA
“I have loved working with Cabuchon. I also love this tub. The chair design of the Nirvana makes getting in and out so much easier, and soaking in it is so comfortable. I decided I liked the look of a stand-alone tub, and Cabuchon gave me hints on installation that really helped. Thank you again for all your help and the wonderful tub.”
Soaking Tub, Denbighshire, Wales
“I first experienced Japanese soaking tubs and Japanese bathing methods… during a working stay in Komatsu some time ago. (Having looked for) an affordable bathtub… we found several but none compared for seating and depth-of-soak with Cabuchon's Imersa. Stunning looking. The long hot soak following a shower is well worth the effort!”
Deep Soaking Tub, Lytham
“We first came across these deep tubs in a hotel in Southport a few years ago and had always dreamed of having one. We are delighted with the end result. The bath is very comfortable – every bath should be like this! Cabuchon were extremely helpful from the outset... The quality of the bath is great and feels very sturdy when in use.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Lancashire, UK
"We are so glad we went for the Nirvana. As a tall person, it is hard to find a bath that won't have your knees or shoulders sticking out. As a family, we also like the fact it retains the water’s heat. I like to soak for quite a long time and, normally, I would have to turn the hot tap back on quite a few times. I haven’t done that with this tub yet.”
2-Person Bath, Les Deux Alpes, France
“I'm really happy with the bath. The build quality is extremely high. The bath is much deeper than you think. I'm 6ft4" and diagonally I can get fully submerged…The bath is solid and doesn't move when using it as a shower. The hydrotherapy will be very welcome after a day's skiing. It's a perfect executive luxury for a couple to share.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Co. Galway, Ireland
“I had such a lovely experience dealing with the team at Cabuchon, and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is doing up their bathroom. “Given that I was ordering a bath from another country, I had (quite) a few questions… Each and every question was answered with a level of customer care that went beyond my expectations.”
Soaking Tub, Palmerston, New Zealand
“Our (old) bathtub was long and shallow, and I often felt uncomfortable because the hot water quickly became lukewarm. As I am Japanese and my Kiwi husband loves soaking in an ofuro, I wanted to get a Japanese-style soaking bathtub. I finally found the Cabuchon website... We now have really happy bath times, especially in the cold winter season.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Cambridgeshire
“The team at Cabuchon were incredibly helpful when we ordered the bath. They kept us informed throughout the production process. We are delighted with the end result, which has transformed the room. We chose the Calyx soaking bath, particularly for its Minimalist line. The bathroom is finished (… and) the bath is absolutely amazing.”
Compact Soaking Tub, Worcestershire
“Cabuchon Bathforms were an excellent company to deal with. We are thrilled with the Calyx Deep Soaking Bath. The bath looks superb. In an average size bathroom, it has given us the opportunity to install a walk-in shower, basin with vanity unit, toilet and a bath where it is possible to have a lovely deep soak - with lots of bubbles, of course!”
Built-in Bath, Stoke-on-Trent
“Thank you to the whole team. From our initial visit to see the baths being made, we received excellent customer service. Our order arrived in perfect condition on the stated day. The bath is absolutely fabulous, turning bath time into a truly luxury experience. If only every purchase was this pleasant. We have recommended you to all our friends and family!”
Sunken Bath, Oxfordshire, England
This project features Cabuchon’s Serenity 1800 double-ended bath. It was installed in a multi-award-winning new home, built on the banks of the River Thames in Oxfordshire. It was set, semi-sunken into the floor, with bespoke rim sizes and in a special matt finish. The client’s verdict was clear but simple: “a joy.”
Built-in Bath, London, England
When looking to remodel their bathroom, Mr and Mrs K S discovered the Serenity 1700 from Cabuchon. Before buying the double-ended bath, they tested the material from which it is made (Ficore®) and considered a range of filling options. Ultimately, they chose a combined filler / overflow that kept the rims clear and easy to clean.
Free Standing Bath, New Jersey, USA
“I’m very proud of the design, which places the Pleasance Plus in front of the window, among river rocks, with a beautiful view of the treetops. We chose to have Cabuchon build it with no overflow so the tub can overflow freely into the pan in which the rocks sit. We chose the Pleasance Plus because of its graceful sculpture and extra depth.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Pittsburgh, USA
“We were renovating a small master bath in a 110-year-old home. My wife wanted a tub, and we knew about Japanese soaking tubs. I'm a shower person and it seemed there was no way to have both in the small space. We planned a "wet room" with both a tub and walk-in shower. Cabuchon’s Calyx allowed us to use a soaking tub and still have room for the shower.”
2-Person Deep Soaking Tub, Harrogate
“We used Cabuchon previously and were delighted with the tub that they manufactured and supplied for our house… (so) we had no hesitation in going back to them to supply us with a tub for our new house build in Harrogate. We are delighted to have a large soaking tub again; it provides a real touch of luxury.”
Soaking Tub, Tennessee, USA
“My Imersa deep soaking tub is exactly what I wanted, and I could not be happier! It’s easy to get in and out of, and it allows total submersion. After a six week "dry spell" during construction, I was only too happy to take TWO baths in the following 6 hours! Thank you for your help and for making such a great product.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Co. Kildare, Ireland
“We found Cabuchon to be an excellent company to deal with; extremely helpful and efficient. We called to their premises to view the baths and were allowed to try them out for size. We were given all the information required and when we placed our order everything went to schedule as promised, including delivery to Ireland.”
Hydrotherapy Soaking Tub, Hertfordshire
"We purchased the Nirvana deep soaking tub with hydrotherapy jets. It is a very impressive bath tub; clearly very well made and perfect for the limited bathroom space we have. It is extremely comfortable and the company itself is extremely helpful. If you buy from Cabuchon you will be in good hands."
Hydrotherapy Soaking Tub, Linlithgow, Scotland
"Our Takara bath is fully installed and being well used! I am definitely getting the benefit of the deep bath and jets – particularly those at my ankle and hip. We really appreciate all your friendly, courteous and professional help in getting the bath just right; you provided an excellent service."
Japanese Soaking Tub, County Durham, UK
"First of all, I want to tell you how delighted we are with our new Cabuchon Japanese bath. We are so pleased with it - the look, the finish and the solid construction and just the relaxation while we sit and soak. Fantastic. Also I would like to thank you and members of your team who have been so helpful and supportive."
Japanese Soaking Tub, Wiltshire, England
"The deep soaking tub has made amazing use of the space available and we couldn't be happier. The jets are very powerful and I have spent many evenings soaking my cares and aches and pains away. Our en suite has been transformed from a cramped and hardly used small shower room, to a place of utter tranquillity."
Soaking Tubs, Hotel in Southport, England
“Customer delight is the absolute priority at The Vincent so it’s important that every aspect of the guest experience is positive. In the bathrooms, the tubs provided by Cabuchon play an important role in realising this; their look and feel fits in very well with the hotel’s boutique design and they always make a striking first impression.”
Japanese Soaking Tub, Surrey, England
"I actually cannot tell you how happy we are to be able to relax in the deep soaking tub, being away from Japan. I am delighted with the new bathroom and with the Calyx. How relaxing it is, spending time in the stylish deep bathtub! I cannot live without it now. The project was an absolute success! I really appreciate your help."
Hydrotherapy Soaking Tub, Stirlingshire
"This is certainly an investment and well worth the money. The difference in my joints has been great as I haven’t been able to get into or out of a bath in years! My physio is impressed too! I love the bath and it is really helping my hip and knee pain. Customer service has also been great through the process."
Deep Soaking Tub, Auckland, New Zealand
"Already many of our friends are amazed and envious of the Nirvana deep soaking tub taking so little space in our small en-suite bathroom. It is my happy place! Thank you once again for your prompt attention to all my enquiries and I hope you will continue to satisfy many more customers. We are thrilled. Thanks for your help."
Deep Soaking Tub, New York, USA
"After two years of living with our Calyx soaking tub, I fall more deeply in love with it every day. Being able to fully relax in a bath after or before stressful work days... is more emotionally and psychologically restorative than I ever expected. It is the perfect size and shape for soaking. I can't imagine needing or wishing for anything more than the Calyx."
Colour-Matched Bath & Panel, Penrith
"At 65 years of age but still an outdoors junkie, a shower after a long day just doesn't cut it! Enter Cabuchon into the equation and Oh, my goodness! Our first meeting left me in no doubt about the way forward and I am now the delighted owner of an immaculate hand-built Imersa soaking tub. Gorgeous old-fashioned values with cutting-edge design and build skills."
Deep Soaking Tub, Gateshead, England
"This is sheer luxury and worth every penny. They say "you get what you pay for" and Cabuchon certainly delivers. I have never bathed in anything as comfortable before. It really is like sitting underwater in an armchair! ... We decided to visit the Cabuchon showroom. I have never come across customer service like it; nothing was too much bother. "
Modified Soaking Tub, Hampshire
“When we updated our bathroom, we wanted to fit a deep soaking bath. My wife and I visited Cabuchon’s showroom. Here, they make all their baths to order. We are delighted with the product and with the hands-on support they provided from start to finish. A Great British company that offers customer service that’s second to none.”
Space-Saving Bath, Turriff, Scotland
“The bathroom is in a very small side room with a sloping roof. We stripped the room, re-opened the blocked-in window, and set about searching for a small bath. It had to be less than 1400mm long to fit across the width of the room. We chose the Calyx because it was short, generously deep, and a beautifully simple design. It’s a joy to use.”
Hydrotherapy Bath, Asheville, North Carolina
“Success! I was finally able to use your tub. It was fabulous. I love the hydro-jet therapy. The tub holds heat really well and it is nice and deep. I can tell it is going to be very good for my back. I wish I had owned it for years past. All my neighbours and relatives are just in awe when they see the tub. Thank you for your persistence in helping me.”
Bespoke Bath, West Yorkshire, England
“We cannot thank you all enough for making our bathroom renovation into a pleasurable experience. You managed to turn our rather hazy initial dreams of an ideal en-suite bathroom into an amazingly attractive reality. We would highly recommend you to anyone in our position. Thanks again for a splendid piece of design and craftsmanship."
Deep Soaking Tub, Helensburgh, Scotland
“We’re delighted with the finished product. It’s just perfect… and we’re amazed at how long the water stays hot. All in all we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Once again, thanks to all at Cabuchon; it was a real pleasure to deal with such a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable company – we would be happy to recommend you to anyone.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Ontario, Canada
“The Nirvana tub has been a big hit in our family. With its unique shape and the ability to almost fully immerse the body, it really is like sitting in a warm, cozy arm chair. The service we received from the Cabuchon staff was impeccable. We would highly recommend the company and its products to any discerning customer looking for a truly unique bath.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Tacoma USA
“I want the folks in the manufacturing department to know they have one VERY happy client!” Mr & Mrs D of Tacoma, USA, wanted a comfortable, stylish bath that would enable them to make the most of spectacular views over the bay. They chose the Imersa deep soaking tub from Cabuchon, which was then installed by the corner window.
Deep Soaking Tub, Washington State, USA
“Cabuchon provided a perfect bathtub solution for specific client and design requirements for a deep soaking tub within an existing bathroom. The bathtub (the Calyx 1440) imparts crisp, clean lines that enhance the contemporary rectilinear design theme of the whole room.” Ms JH, Architect (Washington State)
Deep Soaking Tub, California, USA
“We have finally finished our remodel and we’re very happy with the tub!” A home-owner in California, USA required a deep soaking tub that could be colour-matched to existing sanitaryware. The client required brushed nickel grab rails and a water temperature control system. Cabuchon’s Imersa, made from FICORE®, provided the perfect solution.
Deep Soaking Tub, Durham, England
“I bought one of your Japanese soaking tubs – in fact, it was the very first thing I bought for a house I hadn’t even started renovating at the time! We think it looks stunning. My husband has fallen in love with the bath (all 6’ 4” ) and I’m struggling to get a look in at the moment… Still, I’m looking forward to spending more time in it as winter draws in.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Co. Down, N. Ireland
“I am very happy with the contact I have had from everyone at Cabuchon. They were able to arrange delivery to Northern Ireland to fit my timescale. It arrived exactly on time. The Calyx 1230 fits perfectly in the space. The bath was exactly as described, dimensions were spot on, especially as I have a narrow doorway into my bathroom.”
Deep Soaking Tub (2 seat), Chester, England
“Refitting our bathroom and installing your super bath has been quite an evolution. Also a lot of creative fun, and the result is spectacular… The pictures tell the remainder of the story. The artist is remarkable, and he’s still coming from time to time to embellish various little elements. All the equipment works fine. Delighted on all counts!”
Deep Soaking Tub, Macclesfield, England
“I must commend you all on your courtesy and wonderful customer service. Our beautiful Cabuchon bath was christened today and was heaven to bathe in. It is absolutely fabulous and we are thrilled with it. Thank you so much for all your help. You have all been great from start to finish and we would recommend your company to anyone.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Dundee, Scotland
“We absolutely love our Nirvana Deep Soaking Bath; it’s fantastic! The shape of the bath makes the experience so relaxing and we now enjoy long, luxurious baths. It doesn’t take any longer to fill and the water remains hot for a surprisingly long time. Cabuchon have been a pleasure to deal with and we would most certainly recommend them.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Vancouver, Canada
“I'm delighted with my soaking tub. I imported it to the west coast of Canada! Amazingly, the process was entirely hassle-free, with support from the Cabuchon folks every step of the way. Customer service really is their watch word. The costs of importation were considerably less than I was expecting and, for such a unique product, entirely worth it.”
Deep Soaking Tub, Melbourne, Australia
“Finally our new en suite bathroom is complete. We are thrilled with the design and our wonderful tub! We are very proud of it. Finding the soaking tub was the finishing touch, because nothing like it was available in Australia. As we are older, we wanted comfort and something easy to get in and out of. This tub is perfect! And so relaxing! We love it!”
