Shopping for bathroom basin taps might seem like a simple task initially but, if you don’t know what you’re looking for, you can quickly find yourself overwhelmed by the variety of choices in front of you. Upgrading your basin taps can change the look of your whole bathroom, without having to replace everything!

Before choosing your bathroom basin tap there’s one vital thing you need to consider: is it compatible with your basin? Most basins will arrive on your doorstep with pre-drilled tap holes so it’s important to note how many tap holes your basin has, as this can limit what taps can be used with it.

If your basin has one tap hole, mixer taps are the perfect option. Mixer taps are a popular choice in modern bathrooms, as they allow you to mix hot and cold water through one tap to form the perfect temperature. These taps are available in a wide variety of styles, so you can create the look that’s right for you.

If your basin has two tap holes, you’re better suited to a pair of basin taps. These supply hot and cold water independently, with the hot and cold pipes each connected to an individual tap.

What Types of Basin Taps Are Available?

Your style of basin can determine which taps are best for you. Our selection includes:

• Mono Basin Mixer Taps
• Waterfall Basin Mixer Taps
• High Rise Taps
• Wall Mounted Basin Taps
• Basin Pillar Taps

Mono Basin Mixer Taps

Mono basin mixer taps require a single tap hole in your basin and feature a single spout where the water flows out. They are the most common type of basin tap and are available in a wide range of designs, with both modern and traditional options available. Choose a classic chrome basin tap for a sleek look. Mixer taps feature a single lever which can be lifted and moved to either side to choose between hot or cold water as required.

Waterfall Basin Mixer Taps

Waterfall taps are mixer taps with a difference. These striking taps have been designed with a wide, open-top spout to create a cascading waterfall effect that provides serious wow factor within your bathroom. Waterfall taps allow hot and cold water to be mixed as the water flows, creating the ideal temperature.

High Rise Taps

High rise taps are a great option for those looking to make a strong style statement in their bathroom. Designed to be paired with countertop basins, high rise taps are freestanding and are attached to the vanity unit or worktop, giving a sleek and contemporary appearance. Combined with a modern basin, the result is both dramatic and eye-catching.

Wall Mounted Basin Taps

Wall mounted basin taps are a great option for the style-savvy amongst you. These taps are mounted on the wall for a sleek, minimalist appearance. A fashionable wall mounted basin tap will make a striking statement in any modern bathroom. Still a relatively new style on the market, these fresh taps are ideal to be paired with countertop basins.

Basin Pillar Taps

If you’re in the market for a more traditional design, then basin pillar taps are the ones for you. These separate basin taps are connected individually to their own pipe, with one providing a flow of hot water and the other providing a flow of cold water. This style of tap will add a touch of classic glamour to your overall bathroom design.

Choosing the Best Style for Your Bathroom

When selecting the best basin tap style for your bathroom and basin there are a few things you need to consider:

• Product features: Are there any specific features you are looking for in your tap? Would you like to be a pair of basin taps or a mono mixer basin tap? High-rise, wall-mounted or waterfall?
• Style: Would you like a traditional style of basin tap or should you opt for something more modern?
• Finish: Do you want to keep it simple with a polished chrome basin tap, or go ultra-modern with a brushed brass or matt black finish to your tap?
• Tap holes: Does your sink have pre-drilled tap holes? If so, this can pre-determine which type of tap you can go for.
