Bespoke Concrete Basins: High-Margin Craft with a Slow Start
Homeowners renovating bathrooms want something no showroom stocks. Handmade concrete basins give them exactly that.
Making bespoke concrete basins and bathroom accessories is a craft business targeting the high-end residential interiors segment. Each piece is cast into a custom mould, ground, polished and sealed. The customer chooses dimensions, shape, colour and surface texture. One piece takes approximately four weeks to produce, including concrete curing time. The business operates as made-to-order with no stock โ every piece is made after a confirmed order and deposit. Primary channels are Instagram, Pinterest and collaboration with interior designers.
High-street bathroom ranges offer nothing that sets one home apart from the next. Interior designers can sketch a vision, but the final piece still comes from a catalogue โ not from a craftsperson's workshop. Anyone wanting a truly original bathroom hits a gap in the market.
๐กMass production cannot offer individual dimensions
Factory basins come in standard sizes. A homeowner with an unusual alcove or a specific design brief has nowhere to buy โ and that is exactly the gap bespoke production fills.
