Copper Baths

Hi,

We are renting a house and we have a wet room. I would so love to have the occasional bath and I wonder if anyone knows where I can get a copper bath of the old style?

Saw this http://www.riograndeimports.com/product_detail.aspx/3083/PID143/PNAME+belle+epoch+copper+tub+-+matte+shiny+-+medium+size/

Looks like a bargain.

Wilson's Architectural Salvage Yard outside Belfast has had one for the last few years. Obviously they are a slow mover. It is about €3k, if I remember correctly. They occasionally come up for sale in Arc Salvage yards in the UK. I have seen one or two for auction, also in the UK, from time to time. Never seen one for sale in the Republic. Nice to look at. Light, so no issues with excess weight on joists in an upstairs bathroom but I'm not sure how comfortable they are.

Won't they lose heat terribly fast?

Sigh - still can't afford a bath.

I have no friends left....:D
