New bathroom taps are a great way to give your bathroom a quick makeover or add the finishing touch to a bathroom renovation. It might seem like a small detail, but buying the rights tap will truly make a big difference.
There is so much to choose from, from classic and traditional through to stylish and contemporary. Do you want a single mixer, a two-tap setup or even a tap and shower combo to complement your bathroom design?
We’ve chosen a host of our favourite retailers and paired them with some well-chosen bathroom taps to help you get what you are looking for.
When buying bathroom taps, think about function, style and budget
Once you’ve decided that new bathroom taps are a must, you need to think about form, function, and budget before you start your search. The first step is to decide on what you’ll need to complement your current sink and bath. For example, if you’ve got a two-hole bath or sink, you’ll need a two-hole tap. Or you change your bath or sink to suit.
Once you know what type you need, you can focus on the real concerns – style and function. Do you want the ever-popular chrome? A vintage-inspired brushed brass, or a cool contemporary black fitting? Is it just taps, or do you want to get it all done in one with a tap-and-shower combo?
Finally, don’t forget your budget. Decide what suits you and start searching. Remember, there are unmissable deals out there, so you can get a higher-quality bathroom tap for less. Try the sites we recommend, and we're sure you'll find a deal that will brighten your day.
