This is a MUST for all bath lovers!! These beautiful decorative solid Wood Live Edge bath caddies tray is the perfect partner to a long bubbly soak. This caddy is made from Oak wood & is classic & elegant
A live edge solid wood bath caddy is a wooden tray that is designed to hold items such as your book, tablet, candles and even a glass of wine while you take a bath. The tray is made from solid wood and features a natural, “live edge” look, with the irregularities of the tree still visible on the front edge of the tray. This style of bath caddy adds a rustic and natural feel to your bathroom decor. It can sit on the edge of the bathtub and provide a convenient place to keep your bath essentials within easy reach.
Each bath caddy is unique as they are made to order from a different handpicked piece of wood, so all markings/ grain will be different.
Choose from the drop down menu to customise your piece to your own needs, put a note with your order to confirm what drinks holder (if any) you would prefer & we will make your caddy to your requirements.

Towel holder can be added on request, there is an additional charge of £15 for this, please contact us if you would like this added to your order
The tablet slot holds an iPad/Kindle and phone. As per the photos, standard tablets will fit, however if you are wanting to use the holder for a larger tablet/ device then please let us know in your order as it may be that we need to make the slot deeper and/or longer to accommodate for the larger size. Specifically if you have an iPad pro 12.9 (2020 version or later) & use it without a case, we will need to add a wooden block behind the slot for additional support or you should choose the book holder option. Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us prior to purchase.
FYI: TL stands for Tealight holders! We are limited to the number of characters we can have!
MEASUREMENTS:
Length: your choice
Depth: 15-20cms we can cut them wider on request- please contact us with your measurements for a quote.
Thickness: 2-2.5cms
These are cut to order so any size can be done. Any lengths over 95cms, please contact us for a quote. All lengths can be catered for as all the caddies are made to order. Any over 1m incurs additional shipping fee.
We recommend that you measure your bath (exterior edge to exterior edge) to check the width before ordering. Please measure from the interior side to interior side as well as exterior to exterior. This is so that you can let us know if the rim around the bath is wider than 1inch thick. The reason for this is we put the wine glass holder a close to the end of the bath caddy as possible to give you more room for your legs! If the rim around your bath is wide then this can stop the wine glass from sitting properly. In this case, we will place the wine glass holder closer to the centre. Just add a note to your order or alternatively send a message if you have any other specifics that you might want.
OVERHANG:
This depends on a few factors:
1. The space around the bath
2. If the bath is free- standing or abuts a wall
3. How thick the rim is around your bath.
If the rim is narrow or the bath is freestanding then more overhang is advised. We don’t add stoppers to the underside of the caddy as we have found that it might not sit properly depending on how the sides slope down. We can send 2 small wooden blocks unattached and then you can attach them once the caddy is in place. Something similar to gorilla glue or any outdoor wood glue will suffice. Please add a note with your order if you would like this included. Alternatively, you can attach “chopping board feet” which can either be screwed or stuck to the underside of the caddy which add a bit of friction. These can be bought quite cheaply from Amazon or EBay if you google them.
LIVE EDGE:
The Live Edge will depend on the individual piece of wood. The caddy will follow the natural line of the timber, sometimes this can be quite straight and sometimes it can be "waney". It just depends on individual piece of timber. The front edge will be live edge (please see our FAQ's for a definition) and the back edge is straight.
Please note that as all the bath caddies are custom made to order from individual pieces of wood and as such, no two will be the same. This uniqueness means we cannot guarantee shape, tone, character or how “waney” or gnarly the edge is as we are restricted by the timber available at the time of making you order. We use the photos to show the variety of edges as best we can, but this does not mean you will get one exactly like any of the photos.
If you have a specific request, please contact us prior to order to see if we can accommodate this
Please note that the nature of using wood/timber is that it may come with splits, knots etc. This is part of the character of the piece. The live edge can become slightly raised during transit , but this can be sorted by a light, quick brush of sand paper
These may come with historic woodworm/woodboring holes,. All the oaks have also been treated with EVERBUILD Triple action wood treatment for wood boring insects. This protects the wood against re-infestation but also means that it breaks the life cycle, as, if there is any "activity" (new holes, frass etc), any insects that may appear will have had to burrow through the treated wood which will make the sterile so will die prior to multiplying & completing their life cycle so will not travel far or be able to infest other wood. So if you do see this, please do not panic but if you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. However, as with any exposed timber, we recommend a retreat every year with an oil/wax treatment for protection against moisture & a treatment for protection against wood boring insects.
We also create them in other variations of wood, please see our bath caddy section of our shop.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything further, please do not hesitate to contact us prior to ordering
Please note that these are all bespoke custom made items so are not eligible for refunds or returns, for more information, please check our returns policy and our FAQ section.
In the unlikely event you have any problems with your bath caddy, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will try to rectify the situation.
TREATMENT:
This is a decorative piece of wood, splashes/drips & steam are expected but it should not get excessively wet. If you have a shower bath or use the shower head then we advise removing the bath caddy when this is in use. Excess water will effect the quality of this item & may lead to the treatment being washed off. This includes leaving any damp/ wet sponges/ flannels on the caddy, they may lead to the oil leaching off & into the bath.
Your piece has been treated with tung oil* to leave a matte natural invisible finish which ensure your piece is protected from penetrating water/ moisture damage. Please allow up to 2 weeks for the treatment to fully cure so care should be taken during this time to wipe any splash marks to stop them from marking. However, they are similar to coffee tables, and water/ liquid can leave marks if left to dry for any length of time. We recommend wiping off any liquid spills/drips immediately. If a water mark does occur, these can be resolved by sanding the area and retreating with tung oil.
Here are a few tips to keep it looking special:
1. Do not leave water to dry on it, treat it like you would a coffee table, even when treated, water can mark. The treatment protects it against penetrating water damage but this doesn’t mean that it is waterproof, water could mark. This includes leaving any damp/ wet sponges/ flannels on the caddy, they may lead to the oil leaching off & into the bath. The caddy shouldn't sit in pooled water, particularly on the underside as this can lead to the treatment running off. It should not be saturated or soaked, so for example not left too close to the running tap or if using s shower attachment, please remove the caddy from the bath.
2. Do not use chemicals on the piece. Any chemicals may affect the treatment used. We don’t just mean the obvious, cleaning products, even soap, shampoo, toothpaste, body wash etc can react with the treatment effectively striping it so ensure any splashes are wiped up immediately.
3. You will need to retreat your piece from time to time, depending on use & environment. Give it a light sand down (until any marks disappear) then retreat with your oil of choice.
Any marks can be removed with a light sand & retreatment.
Ultimately, this is a piece of natural wood & will require care & maintenance, the same as a wooden kitchen bench or coffee table would.
The oil can take up to 30 days to fully cure & care should be taken during this time.
* tung oil is extracted from nuts & may cause an allergic reaction
