Finish and warranty: why it matters
Aquabrass's warranty treats finishes differently. Per the Aquabrass warranty page, for products purchased from November 1, 2025:
- Lifetime (for as long as the original purchaser owns their home): polished chrome, Electro Black, stainless steel and PVD finishes.
- Five years: all other finishes.
If long finish coverage matters to you, compare the finish on your chosen product with that list. Ask us whether a specific finish is PVD before you order.
The Aquabrass Warranty in Plain English
For residential use, the Aquabrass warranty page lists:
| Component | Coverage |
|---|---|
| Ceramic disc cartridges | Lifetime (while the original purchaser owns the home) |
| Other cartridges (thermostatic, non-ceramic diverters, check-stop mechanisms) | 5 years |
| All other Aquabrass products and parts | 5 years |
| Electronic faucets and components (batteries excluded) | 2 years |
| Polished chrome, Electro Black, stainless steel, PVD finishes | Lifetime (while the original purchaser owns the home) |
| All other finishes | 5 years |
Multi-family residential (owned but not lived in, such as rentals) is limited to 5 years, and commercial use to 2 years. The warranty applies to products bought from an authorized Aquabrass dealer and installed in Canada or the U.S. It is not transferable, and a proof of purchase is required. Note that individual spec sheets also list warranty terms. For example, the Turbo valve sheets list two years residential. Aquabrass's warranty page says it supersedes earlier versions, so keep your invoice and check the current page if you ever need to make a claim.
What the warranty excludes
Per Aquabrass, exclusions include damage from improper installation, misuse or lack of maintenance. Also excluded are:
- surface damage from abrasive products
- corrosion from chemically reactive products such as chlorine
- damage from hard water, calcareous deposits or sediments
- installation by a non-accredited professional
- labour and shipping costs
Drain finishes and normal wear of any finish aren't covered either.
Caring for Aquabrass Finishes
- Clean with mild soap and water and a soft cloth, then dry to limit water spots.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, and chlorine or bleach-based products. Aquabrass's exclusions name abrasives and chlorine.
- In hard-water areas, which are common across much of Canada, wipe fixtures dry and consider water treatment, since mineral damage is excluded.
- Have a licensed plumber install your fixtures to keep warranty coverage.
So, Is Aquabrass a Good Fit for You?
Aquabrass suits you if you want a Canadian brand with distinct design collections, a deep finish range, and matching faucets, shower trims and accessories across a room. Before you buy, check three things:
- the finish you want and its warranty category
- which rough-in your product needs
- that you'll keep your proof of purchase
For showers, see our Aquabrass shower kits guide and Aquabrass valves and trims guide.
Choosing a Finish for Your Bathroom
- Match across the room. Because Aquabrass collections include lavatory faucets, shower trims, tub spouts and handshowers, you can order every piece in the same finish from the same collection.
- Pick a sheen. Brushed finishes such as Brushed Nickel and Brushed Gold have a soft satin look, while polished finishes are mirror-like. Whichever you choose, wipe fixtures dry after use, especially in hard-water areas.
- Coordinate with hardware. Consider cabinet pulls, mirror frames and shower door hardware when choosing between warm tones (gold), cool tones (chrome, nickel) and dark tones (Black, Electro Black, Brushed Black Chrome).
- Weigh the warranty category. If the longest finish coverage is a priority, look at polished chrome, Electro Black, stainless steel or a PVD finish, per Aquabrass's warranty.
Product photos may show a different finish from the one you select, so read the finish name in the selector before ordering.
