Bette filled a BetteSet bath with charcoal and then, with a metal grill over the bath, cooked 50 burgers for a group of the company’s customers.

At the end of the event, when the embers had cooled, the bath was emptied, cleaned and looked as good as new.

Jean-Francois Marty, of Bette, who organised the event said: “Bette baths, shower trays and basins have a 30 year warranty because they are so durable and easy to clean. Everyone was amazed to see the BBQ in the bath, and even more surprised when they saw that the bath remained in perfect condition afterwards.  It is the toughness and smoothness of the enamel surface that makes it possible, and makes Bette baths such a good choice for a wide range of commercial and domestic situations.”

Bette will be demonstrating the durability of its baths, basins and shower trays at Sleep + Eat, or for more information see  www.bette.co.uk or telephone 0844 800 0547.
