Bath Taps With a Little More Personality
Your bath taps might not be the first thing you choose, but they can make a big difference to the finished bathroom. From simple bath fillers to shower mixers with a handy handset, our collection covers the practical bits without forgetting about the pretty ones.
Choose the right type of bath tap
Bath fillers are a great choice if you simply want to fill the bath without adding a shower handset. They're available as wall-mounted, deck-mounted and floor-standing designs, depending on your bath and layout.
Bath shower mixers combine a bath filler with a handheld shower, making them a useful option for everyday bathing, rinsing the bath or washing your hair without reaching for the shower.
Freestanding bath taps are designed to sit alongside freestanding baths, with floor-standing designs creating a feature of the brassware while keeping the bath itself beautifully uncluttered.
Find your finish
Chrome is the easy classic, working particularly well with white ceramics and traditional bathrooms. Brushed brass brings warmth and pairs beautifully with natural stone, zellige tiles and oak. Brushed bronze has a richer, softer feel that works especially well with earthy colours, while matt black adds contrast to lighter bathrooms.
It’s worth thinking about the rest of your brassware before you choose, too. Matching your bath taps with your basin taps, shower and accessories creates a cohesive look, while mixing finishes can give the room a more collected feel.
And then there’s the small matter of handles. Crosshead, lever and single-handle designs each have a different look and feel, so choose something that works with both your bathroom style and how you actually use the space.
Good-looking? Yes. Functional? Also yes. Because nobody wants to admire their bath taps while waiting five minutes for the bath to fill.
