Silver Cloud Grey Marble Bathtub | Modern Freestanding Stone Tub
Product Overview
Elevate your bathroom design with the Silver Cloud Grey Marble Rectangular Bathtub. This tub is not merely a fixture; it is a functional sculpture. The natural stone material provides a connection to the earth, while the sleek, honed finish offers a tactile softness. The rectangular shape with rounded corners maximizes internal bathing space, allowing for a deep, immersive soak that stays warm longer thanks to the stone’s high thermal mass.
Stone Characteristics
Silver Cloud Marble (also known as Silver Wave or Cloudy Grey) is renowned for its dynamic appearance. Key features include:
- Movement: The stone features sweeping veins of charcoal, silver, and misty white, creating a sense of movement.
- Density: It is a very hard, compact marble with low porosity, making it durable for wet environments.
- Texture: When honed, it feels smooth like satin, providing a non-slip yet comfortable surface.

Color & Pattern Description
Silver Cloud Marble is a monochromatic beauty. It blends various shades of grey—from light dove grey to deep slate—interspersed with white quartz lines. The pattern is organic and random, ensuring that no two bathtubs will ever look exactly the same. It pairs perfectly with chrome, black, or brushed nickel faucets.

- Durability: Carved from a single block, there are no seams to leak or crack. It will last a lifetime.
- Aesthetic Value: Adds immediate luxury and resale value to any property.
- Easy Maintenance: The honed surface hides water spots better than polished stone and is easy to clean.
Recommended Applications
- Modern Minimalist Bathrooms
- Luxury Hotel Suites

Packaging & Installation
Packaging: The tub is wrapped in thick foam and plastic, then secured in a fumigated, seaworthy wooden crate with iron strapping to ensure safe global delivery.
Installation Note: Due to the substantial weight (~900kg), please ensure the floor structure is reinforced. A professional stone handling team is required for placement.
Buying Guide: Solid Marble Bathtubs
How / Why / What / Options / Considerations
- How it’s made: Subtractive manufacturing. We start with a 3-ton block of raw marble and carve it down using CNC machines and hand finishing until the tub shape emerges.
- Why choose Grey Marble: It offers a modern, sophisticated look that hides dust and water marks better than pure black or white stone.
- What to consider: Weight is the #1 factor. Ensure your bathroom is on the ground floor or the floor joists are reinforced.
- Options: We can customize the size to fit your space. We can also make matching grey marble sinks.
- Maintenance: Clean with pH-neutral stone soap. Re-seal the stone once a year to prevent staining.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this bathtub made of solid stone?
Yes, it is carved from one single, solid block of natural marble. It is not made of pieces glued together.
2. How heavy is this tub?
It weighs approximately 800kg to 950kg depending on the final dimensions. Professional rigging is needed for installation.
3. Does it leak?
No. Since it is a solid seamless block, there are no joints or seams that can leak.
4. Is the drain included?
No, we drill the standard drain hole (1.5″ or 2″), but you need to purchase the drain hardware separately.
5. Is the surface comfortable?
Yes, the “Honed” finish is smooth to the touch, like a river stone. The stone also warms up to the water temperature.
6. Do I need to seal it?
Yes, marble is porous. We seal it at the factory, but we recommend re-sealing it annually with a penetrating stone sealer.
7. Can you make custom sizes?
Yes, as a factory direct supplier, we can carve the tub to any length, width, or height you request.
8. How do you ship it?
It is packed in a strong wooden crate with foam protection and shipped via sea freight to your nearest port.
9. Does it hold heat?
Yes, natural stone has excellent thermal mass. It keeps water warm much longer than acrylic tubs.
10. How do I clean it?
Use mild soap and warm water. Avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar, lemon, or harsh bathroom chemicals.
11. Does it have an overflow hole?
Typically, solid stone tubs do not have an internal overflow. You should rely on a floor drain in the bathroom.
12. What is the lead time?
Production takes about 3-4 weeks. Shipping adds another 3-5 weeks depending on your location.
13. Can I install a faucet on the tub rim?
It is possible if the rim is wide enough, but we recommend floor-mounted or wall-mounted faucets for a cleaner look.
14. Is the color exactly like the photo?
Natural stone varies. While the general tone is grey with veins, every block is unique. We send photos of the specific tub before shipping.
15. What is the MOQ?
