Taps
A tap is an essential component for any bathroom.
Depending on the style or colour of the tap, it can complement almost any space. Taps aren’t just about style; they control water flow.
What taps are out there and what is the right tap for you?
Basin Taps
Standard Basin Mixer Tap
A standard basin mixer tap is a single tap that combines hot and cold water, allowing you to control both temperature and flow from one tap. This type of tap is popular in modern bathrooms due to its convenience and sleek design, letting you achieve a comfortable water temperature through one simple control.
Cloakroom Tap
A cloakroom tap is a compact, space-saving tap designed specifically for use in cloakroom bathrooms or small washrooms where space is limited. These taps are smaller in size than standard basin taps and are often paired with a compact basin to fit tight spaces.
Wall mounted basin tap
A wall-mounted basin tap is a type of faucet installed directly on the wall above the basin, rather than on the basin itself or countertop. This setup creates a sleek, minimalist look and frees up space around the basin, making it ideal for modern bathrooms.
Tall tap with washbowl
A tall mixer basin tap is usually a lot taller than a standard height of a basin tap. The extra height allows them to be paired with countertop or vessel sinks.
Typically a mixer style, controlling temperature and flow from a single spout.
2 x Tap Hole Taps
2 Tap hole taps, refer to a basic tap designed for bathroom sinks or basins, typically providing either cold or hot water, but not mixed. Standard basin taps usually come in pairs—one for hot water and another for cold—and are commonly seen in traditional or classic bathroom setups. These taps have simple mechanics, usually a lever, knob, or cross-handle that controls the water flow and temperature.
Twin Lever Mixer tap
Features two levers, one for hot and one for cold, on either side of the spout for precise temperature control.
Bath Taps
Bath filler
A bath filler tap is a type of faucet designed specifically for filling bathtubs. Unlike standard basin taps or sink taps, bath fillers are built to deliver a larger volume of water quickly, filling up the bathtub efficiently.
Bath deck mixer
A bath deck mixer tap is a type of tap that is mounted directly onto the deck or rim of a bathtub. It has two levers or knobs—one for hot water and one for cold—that mix the water before it flows through a single spout, allowing you to control both the temperature and flow with ease. Bath deck mixers are popular in both modern and traditional bathrooms due to their convenience and efficient design.
Freestanding bath tap
A freestanding bath tap is a floor-mounted tap specifically designed for use with freestanding bathtubs. These taps stand independently beside the bath, creating a luxurious and visually striking focal point in the bathroom. Freestanding bath taps can add an elegant, spa-like feel to the space.
Wall mounted bath tap
A wall-mounted bath tap is a type of tap that is installed directly on the wall above the bathtub, rather than on the tub deck or floor. This setup creates a sleek, minimalist look, freeing up space around the bath and making it easier to clean. Wall-mounted bath taps are often chosen for modern bathroom designs.
Bath deck shower mixer
A bath deck shower mixer is a type of tap that is mounted on the edge (or deck) of a bathtub, combining a bath filler tap with a shower mixer. This setup allows you to fill the bath through the spout or use a handheld shower attachment, making it a versatile choice for bathrooms without separate shower areas or for those who want added functionality. For example washing the dog.
