What are good alternatives to a Victoria + Albert bathtub?

What sizes, weights and prices does Victoria + Albert publish?

V+A's UK pages publish capacity, dimensions and empty weight for each bath, and show prices in pounds. The Lussari 1700 is 1660 x 730 x 550 mm (65.4 x 28.7 x 21.7 in), holds 283 L (about 75 gal) and weighs 72 kg (about 159 lb). The Amalfi, a slipper shape, is 1632 x 794 x 859 mm (64.3 x 31.3 x 33.8 in), 258 L (about 68 gal), 70 kg (about 154 lb).

• Lussari 1700: from £3,222.84
• Amalfi: from £3,999.60
• Seros 1650: from £4,195.80
• Kerid: from £4,284.00

Those prices are from the UK site as archived May 10, 2026, and that site fulfills mainland UK orders only. No US price was verified; US buyers should ask a Victoria + Albert dealer.

Which makers sell freestanding baths in a similar composite?

The makers below build in stone-based composites or cast resin. Each row uses only what that maker publishes.

Badeloft sells its tubs in the US in USD, with the BW range priced from $3,290 to $3,890 on its collection page. Aquatica states AquateX is about 60% aluminium mineral derived from bauxite combined with acrylic resins, and that the Lillian is made in the USA with a 25-year limited warranty. Badeloft says stone resin is non-porous and keeps bath water hot longer than acrylic, which is its claim for its own material.

What changes when you move to solid natural stone?

The material stops being a composite and becomes the rock itself, carved from a single block. That brings real veining that differs piece to piece, a thicker and denser wall, and a different price tier: US sellers publish solid stone tubs at about $7,930–$37,000 as of October 2026 (see marble tub cost).

• Stone resin versus solid stone: the direct comparison with composite bodies.
• Stone versus acrylic: how stone differs from the lightest tubs.
• Cast iron bathtubs: another heavy, enameled alternative.
• Stone Forest alternatives: other makers of carved stone tubs.

How does a solid stone tub compare with QUARRYCAST on weight?

A Victoria + Albert Lussari 1700 weighs 72 kg (about 159 lb) empty on V+A's specification, while a solid stone tub weighs about 1,100–2,500 lb empty, roughly seven to sixteen times as much. A typical 67 x 31 x 22 in oval marble tub with 2.5 in walls is about 1,150 lb empty and about 1,960 lb with water and a 200 lb bather, around 170 psf on its footprint against 40 psf typical residential floor live load.

That difference decides where a stone tub can go. Read the stone tub weight guide and have a structural engineer review the framing, especially above grade.

Who is a Victoria + Albert bath best for?

Victoria + Albert suits buyers who want a lighter-weight composite bath from one maker, with named models, published empty weights and capacities, a 25-year residential guarantee and a large choice of exterior colors. V+A says it offers 199 colors for the exterior.

It is less suited to anyone who wants the material itself to be natural stone, or a dimension outside the catalog. A licensed plumber and local code should confirm installation details for any bath.

What does a Pietra Fonte quote include?

Pietra Fonte tubs are made to order from a single block of natural stone. Each piece is specified with the buyer or designer, inspected with photos and video before it ships, and delivered white-glove anywhere in the contiguous US. Every quote gives the exact dimensions and weight of the piece, so the structural conversation can start from real numbers. See the marble, travertine and onyx tub collections, or ask for a sample book. Designers and builders can use the trade page.
