Collection: Bathroom Taps

Bath Taps

The right bath taps pull the whole room together, so it pays to get the type, the finish and the fit right. Our bath taps range covers bath filler mixers, bath shower mixers, freestanding and modern designs, in plenty of finishes to match any bathroom.

Different Types Of Bathroom Taps

The type you need depends on your bath and how it's set up.

• Bath filler mixer taps: blend hot and cold through one spout to fill the bath, the most common choice for a standard deck-mounted bath.
• Bath shower mixer taps: a bath filler with a handset, so you can run a shower over the bath without a separate valve.
• Freestanding bath taps: floor-mounted taps for a freestanding tub, where the taps stand alone rather than sit on the bath.
• Modern bath taps: sleek, contemporary shapes, including waterfall spouts, for a more current look.

How Many Tap Holes Does My Bath Have?

Check your bath before you buy. A bath with two tap holes takes a deck-mounted filler; a bath with no holes pairs with freestanding or wall-mounted taps. Matching the tap to the holes saves you returns and awkward reseals later.

Choose A Finish That Matches Your Bathroom

Your tap finish sets the tone, so it helps to match it across your brassware. The range runs from classic chrome and crisp white to warmer metals like brushed brass, antique brass and gold, plus bolder picks in matt black, gunmetal grey and brushed nickel. Pick one finish and carry it through the room for a pulled-together look. Browse our guides on minimalist, modern and traditional styles for inspiration.

Fitting Your New Taps

Most bath taps fit with basic tools onto your existing hot and cold supplies. If you're swapping like for like, it's a straightforward job; if you're moving from pillar taps to a single filler, or to freestanding taps, check the pipework lines up with the new tap before you start.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a bath filler and a bath shower mixer?

A bath filler just fills the bath, blending hot and cold through one spout. A bath shower mixer does the same but adds a shower handset, so you can rinse off or shower over the bath without a separate valve. If you want showering as well as soaking from one tap, go for the bath shower mixer; if the bath is purely for soaking, a filler is all you need.

How many tap holes do I need for bath taps?

Check your bath before you buy. A bath with two tap holes takes deck-mounted pillar taps or a two-hole filler; a bath with one hole takes a single-hole mixer; and a bath with no holes pairs with freestanding or wall-mounted taps. Counting the holes first is the quickest way to avoid buying the wrong tap type.

Do bath taps work with low water pressure?

It depends on your system. Some taps need a minimum pressure to run well, so the right choice depends on whether you're on a high-pressure combi or a low-pressure gravity setup with a cold water tank. If your pressure is low, check the tap's rating before you buy, as a high-flow filler may underperform on a weak supply.

Can I match my bath taps to the rest of my bathroom?

Yes, and it's the easiest way to pull a bathroom style together. The range comes in a variety of finishes, so you can carry the same look across your bath taps, basin tap and shower fittings, whether that's warm brushed brass, classic chrome or bold matt black. Pick one finish and run it through the room rather than mixing metals.
