When looking to update your bathroom taps where should you start? There are different types of bathroom taps available, let’s divide them simply to start with into basin taps (sometimes called bathroom sink taps) and bath taps. If we start with the different types of basin taps, these will include:

  • Monobloc mixer taps (for one tap hole basins).  These taps mix the water in the body of the tap and the water flow is controlled by a ceramic cartridge, operated by a handle or lever.
  • Pair of taps (for two tap hole basins). Each tap has a separate water feed and is controlled by a valve mechanism or ceramic cartridge. The taps are turned on or off by use of a handle, or lever.
