Splash Out On New Taps

If you are looking to freshen up your bathroom choosing new eye-catching brassware can create a stunning feature. There are various types of taps to choose from ranging from standard pillar taps to stylish wall mounted taps.

When it comes to choosing taps it is a good idea to think about the shape of your bathroom pottery, if you have an angular shaped basin opt for square shaped taps that will complement the shape and the same applies for if you have a curved basin, go for a rounded tap that will suit this shape. Most brassware is chrome but if you really want to make a statement go for something bold like the Crosswater Hey Joe Basin Mono in black, this will create a modern focal point.

Bathroom taps are made from cast brass that has been chrome plated, this is the most popular finish and is long lasting. To keep your taps in good condition it is recommended that taps are cleaned with warm soapy water and then rinsed, and if needed polished with a soft cloth afterwards.

The standard pillar taps are usually inexpensive and come in a variety of styles from modern to the traditional, and are easy to fit.
