Are Walk-In Tub Faucets Available in Finishes Other Than Chrome?

Yes. The Ella Fast-Fill faucet set is offered in chrome and brushed nickel, and black and gold are offered on some sets, with the 5-piece set listed in all four finishes. Only the faucet pieces change finish; the tub's therapy buttons, dials and other controls stay chrome whatever faucet you choose. Specifications and ordering details are in Buying a Fast-Fill Faucet Set or Valve Body on Its Own: Specs, Finishes and Deck Hole Size.

Which Finishes Are Offered

• Chrome is the standard finish across the Fast-Fill sets.
• Brushed nickel is available on the faucet set as an alternative to chrome.
• Black and gold are offered on some sets. The 5-piece Fast-Fill set, with its hot and cold handles, spout, diverter and pull-out hand shower, is listed in chrome, brushed nickel, black and gold.

The faucet style and finish are chosen at order time, along with the door hand, therapy package and other options, because the shell is drilled to match your order. The full list of what can and cannot be chosen is in What Can and Cannot Be Customized on an Ella Tub: Add-Ons, Special Orders, and Fixed Features. Confirm the finish for your specific set with your Ella dealer or the team at (800) 480-6850 when you place your order.

What Stays Chrome No Matter What

A finish choice applies to the faucet pieces only. The push buttons, the intensity dials and the other controls on the deck remain chrome regardless of the faucet finish. This is the usual reason people reconsider a black or gold faucet after seeing it beside chrome buttons, so picture the whole deck before you decide.

Changing the Finish Later

If you ordered one finish and want another, the swap means buying a new set. A faucet that has already been installed cannot be returned for credit, so settle on the finish before your plumber fits it. The deck arrives pre-drilled for the Ella faucet, and the installer completes the mounting and connects the supply lines on site. If a single handle or valve later needs replacing, the team matches the part to your set from a photo and your serial number. 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.

Older Tubs with a Different Faucet

Tubs from many years ago may have shipped with a Huntington Brass Roman-style faucet rather than an Ella Fast-Fill set, so the handles may not match current catalog pictures. Ella did not carry alternative handle styles for that faucet. If you want fluted or vandal-resistant handles for it, contact Huntington Brass directly with the faucet model. Details are in Handles, Cartridges and Hoses for the Huntington Brass Faucet on Older Ella Tubs.
