A mixer tap combines water from the hot and cold water supply, mixing them together, before pouring out from a single tap. These taps can require either a 1 Tap Hole, 2 Tap Hole or 3 Tap Hole basin or bath to be fitted. Mixer taps have recently become popular because of their simple and modern single-spout designs, perfectly fitting within any contemporary space. Our range of mixer taps include a variety of shapes and styles to choose from, such as super-modern linear designs, common rounded designs or the classic arched design.

Mixer taps are available for both basins and baths, with bath shower mixer taps providing an alternative option which connects to a hand-held shower attachment. 

Pillar taps have a dedicated tap for each hot and cold water supply. As a result of this, they require a 2 Tap Hole basin or bath to be fitted. While pillar taps use the classic 2 Tap Hole design, they can also be found in a range of modern and traditional styles to suit any type of bathroom.

Wall mounted taps offer one of the most modern styles available, commonly paired with counter top basins to complete the minimal aesthetic by reducing clutter and creating additional space. With this style, you'll definitely make your bathroom stand out from the crowd. Wall mounted taps are available in both mixer and pillar styles.

Freestanding taps, similarly to wall mounted taps, offers one of the most modern styles available. Freestanding taps are available as mixer taps, commonly paired with freestanding baths, portraying elegance and sophistication. They can also be found in smaller sizes to match counter top or inset basins. 

Thermostatic taps resemble many features of the mixer tap, by combining the individual hot and cold water supplies before pouring out from a single tap. The difference is that with thermostatic mixer taps, the selected water temperature is able to remain at a constant, even when other taps are on at the same time in the house. This allows for a much more enjoyable and safer experience as there's no chance of the water becoming freezing or boiling, to the point of injury. The majority of mixer taps are thermostatic, but please check to make sure before purchasing.
