Is there a photo of the Ella faucet in brushed gold or satin brass?

Ella does not make a brushed gold or a satin brass faucet, so there is no photo of one to share. The warm finish that does exist is simply called gold, and it is offered on the 5-piece Fast-Fill faucet set, which is pictured in each of its four finishes, chrome, brushed nickel, black and gold, on the 5-piece Fast-Fill faucet page in the accessories section of ellasbubbles.com. What faucet and hardware finishes does Ella offer besides chrome? lists every finish Ella offers; this page translates the finish names people search for into what is actually in the catalog, points to where each one is pictured, and explains what the rest of the tub will look like beside it.

What Brushed Gold and Satin Brass Mean in Ella's Catalog

Faucet makers use dozens of names for warm metal tones, and the two in this question do not appear on any Ella finish list. Here is how each one maps to what can be ordered:

• Brushed gold. Not an Ella finish name. The closest match is the finish Ella calls gold, offered on the 5-piece Fast-Fill set. Ella's published pages do not describe that gold as brushed or polished, so look at the photo on the faucet page rather than assuming a texture.
• Satin brass. Not offered. Polished brass is not offered on any walk-in tub fixture either, and Ella's tub colors page is explicit that oil-rubbed bronze and polished brass are not made for jets or grab bars. If a soft, muted warm tone is the goal, the only route is the partner-brand Huntington Brass set, available on request in satin nickel or antique bronze.
• Satin nickel. Offered on the partner-brand Huntington Brass set. On the Ella Fast-Fill sets the equivalent cool brushed tone is called brushed nickel.

One more source of confusion is the word brass itself. On an Ella tub it is either a brand name, Huntington Brass, or the base metal under the chrome plating, such as the brass escutcheon plate and brass locking collar inside the 2-piece faucet. Neither use means a brass-colored fixture. Can I get brass fixtures on my walk-in tub, and which parts change finish? works through that distinction in detail.

Which Faucet Sets Come in Which Finishes

What the table means: if a gold faucet is what you want, the 5-piece Fast-Fill set is the one to look at, and its page is where the gold version is pictured. If you were hoping for a softer satin brass, nothing in the catalog matches it, and the choice becomes gold on the 5-piece set or antique bronze on the partner-brand set. Everything else on the tub will be chrome or brushed stainless, so a warm faucet will sit beside cool-toned buttons, bars and door hardware.

Where the Pictures Are

The 5-piece Fast-Fill faucet page on ellasbubbles.com shows the set in each of its finishes, so the gold version can be compared directly with chrome, brushed nickel and black. The 2-piece single lever Fast-Fill faucet page lists its finishes as well. Ella's published pages do not include a photo gallery of the partner-brand Huntington Brass set in satin nickel or antique bronze, so for that set, or for any finish you cannot find pictured, ask your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 and name the tub model and the faucet set you have in mind. The team confirms what is available to order for that tub.

When you look at the photos, picture the whole deck rather than the faucet alone. The push buttons, intensity dials and other controls stay chrome regardless of the faucet finish, which is the usual reason people reconsider a black or gold faucet after seeing it beside chrome buttons. Are Walk-In Tub Faucets Available in Finishes Other Than Chrome? covers that trade-off. The door follows the same rule: the stainless steel inward-swing door is brushed stainless with a frosted tempered glass panel and a chrome interior handle, a cool silver tone with no gold plating anywhere, as Is the stainless steel door on an Ella tub silver or gold-toned? explains.

If Your Tub Already Has a Brass-Named Faucet

Many older Ella tubs shipped with a Huntington Brass Roman-style tub filler, with separate hot and cold lever handles and a deck spout, so the handles on an older tub may not match the current catalog pictures. The name on the faucet body or escutcheons tells you who made it, not what color it is, and that set was never offered in polished brass. Ella did not carry alternative handle styles for that faucet, so if you want different handles for it, Huntington Brass is the company to ask directly.

Settle the Finish Before the Plumber Arrives

The faucet style and finish are chosen at order time along with the door hand and therapy package, because the shell is drilled to match your order. If you order one finish and later want another, the swap means buying a new set, and a faucet that has already been installed cannot be returned for credit. So the moment to compare photos is before the order is placed, and at the latest before your plumber fits the faucet.

1. Decide whether you want the faucet to match the chrome hardware or stand out from it.
2. Open the 5-piece Fast-Fill faucet page and compare the gold photo against chrome, brushed nickel and black.
3. If you want a bronze or satin nickel tone instead, ask about the partner-brand Huntington Brass set.
4. Confirm the finish for your exact set and tub with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 when you place the order.
5. Check the finish when the faucet arrives and before it is installed.

If a single handle or valve later needs replacing, the team matches the part to your set from a photo and your serial number, so the finish you chose can be kept. Handle and finish replacements on the 5-piece set are covered in 5-Piece Faucet: Water Keeps Flowing With the Valve Off, Low Pressure, Handle Replacements and Finish Options.
