It’s a bit of a minefield when looking at all of the options that are available to you when updating your bathroom. A small job like choosing taps can in fact end up being a head spinning decision! #firstworldproblem we know…but hey, we thought we could help you with these top tips!

High or low pressure
Look for a tap that suits the water pressure in your home. If you have low water pressure, select a tap which will work to a low flow system, allowing the mixer to deliver a powerful stream of water. Our technicians can help you decide what suits your system.

Basin Style
Choose a basin style that will suit the mixer, both in terms of looks and functionality. The tap and basin need to work together so water does not splash out of the bowl and give you soggy socks!

Tap Finish
The finish of your tap is very important. Ensure that you choose a tap that is coated in order to prevent rust and lime scale for a long maintenance life. There are a number of finishes available, from chrome and moon white to supersteel and rose gold, to suit a variety of bathroom decors and your taste.

Design of basin mixer
Think about what your tap will be used for. For washing hands in a cloakroom, a small tap may be needed. However, for filling a bath there are a range of beautiful wall mounted and freestanding mixers that you can choose from.

Pop up waste lever?
Pop up waste levers that are located out of the sink and are not submerged by water are great as you have easy access to them without having to put your hand in the water; perfect if the basin is full of very hot water.

Matching bathroom accessories
If you are looking to create a sleek and coordinated look in your bathroom, find out what shower mixers, accessories and ceramics match your chosen style. Some manufacturers offer a complete bathroom solution, offering an easy way to create a stylish bathroom that functions perfectly together. Magazines also give some great ideas so have a flick through some home improvement guides to help you decide what style you would like in your new bathroom.
