Question 1

What type of basin tap should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Mono mixer taps (single spout, one or two handles) are the most popular choice for modern bathrooms. Pillar taps (separate hot and cold) suit traditional styles. Wall-mounted taps create a clean, minimal look. Your choice depends on your basin's tap holes, your style preference, and your water pressure.

Question 2

What's the difference between tall and standard basin taps?

Accepted Answer

Standard basin taps are designed for regular basins. Tall (or extended) basin taps are taller and suit countertop basins where the tap needs extra height to reach over the basin rim comfortably. Using a standard tap with a countertop basin would result in poor water reach.

Question 3

Do basin taps come with waste included?

Accepted Answer

Some do and some don't — it varies by product. Taps that include a waste will state 'waste included' on the product page. If a waste isn't included, you'll need to order a compatible basin waste separately. Click-clack wastes and flip-top wastes are the most popular styles.
