			<![CDATA[Any suggestions for something with low embodied carbon, or if there is even some line of certification to look for when searching?<br /><br />I would rather avoid a plastic shower tray unless it's 99+% recycled. Steel is very high embodied energy.<br /><br />What do all those Carbon Lite home fit? Where do I even start?]]>

			<![CDATA[Traditional Tadelakt is probably as Eco as it gets.  I've seen it used effectively for hand-crafted walls and floors in a shower cubicle, and 30 odd years ago I stayed at a Spanish castle and bathed in a 200 year old tadelakt bathtub!  <br /><br />But it needs a lot of manual labour to install:<br /><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadelakt" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadelakt</a><br /><br /><a href="https://tadelakt.co.uk/tadelakt-plastering-services/wet-areas/" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://tadelakt.co.uk/tadelakt-plastering-services/wet-areas/</a><br /><br /><a href="https://lancasterlimeworks.com/traditional-tadelakt/" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://lancasterlimeworks.com/traditional-tadelakt/</a><br /><br /><br /><br />If you want something a bit easier, look for used bathrooms stuff.  Ignore fashion, get the lovely coloured bathroom stuff from the 50-70's!  The quality is so much better than today.<br /><br />There are also companies who repair and change colour:<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://fixingup.co.uk/ceramic-repair/" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://fixingup.co.uk/ceramic-repair/</a><br /><br /><a href="https://magicman.co.uk/examples/" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://magicman.co.uk/examples/</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.plastic-surgeon.co.uk/blog/home/recolour-and-resurface-your-bathroom/" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://www.plastic-surgeon.co.uk/blog/home/recolour-and-resurface-your-bathroom/</a>]]>

			<![CDATA[A few years ago I tried to re-home a really solid cast iron bathtub, just needed enamel spot repairs. We used to shower standing in it with a curtain, but it didn't fit our remaining space after we insulated.<br /><br />Couldn't get any takers, so it ended up as a water trough in a field of cows!<br /><br />Maybe you could get something like that from a salvage yard?]]>
