Bathroom Fittings
Bathroom Fittings
Bathroom fittings include everything you need to control the flow of water in your bathroom, from basin and bath taps to shower sets and shower heads. Choosing the right fittings is about more than appearance - think about compatibility, water pressure, everyday comfort and how each fitting will work with your basin, bath or shower to create a beautifully coordinated space.
How to choose the right taps for your basin?
Before buying a tap, check whether your basin has one, two or no tap holes, as this determines which configuration will fit. Basin taps are available in different heights, spout lengths and mounting styles to suit everything from compact cloakroom basins to spacious countertop sinks. A well-matched tap makes daily tasks much more comfortable and significantly reduces splashing.
- Standard basin mixers: perfect for traditional washbasins with a single pre-drilled hole.
- Tall taps: the go-to choice for stylish countertop basins that sit on a vanity unit without a tap ledge.
- Wall-mounted taps: great for saving counter space and achieving a clean, minimalist look.

Which bath taps work best for your bathtub?
Bath taps should seamlessly match both your tub and the way you like to bathe. Whether you are replacing existing fittings or installing a brand-new freestanding bath, it is always worth double-checking the tap hole configuration and ensuring the spout provides a comfortable, efficient water flow for filling the tub.

Which tap finish is easiest to maintain?
Chrome remains a popular choice because it suits almost all bathroom styles and is easy to clean. Matt black creates a striking contemporary look but may show limescale more easily in hard water areas. Brushed finishes, like brass or gold, are often much better at hiding fingerprints and water marks, which can reduce the need for frequent wiping.
What should you consider when buying a complete shower set?
Shower sets combine several components into one coordinated solution, which can simplify installation and help the fittings look consistent, making them a perfect choice when renovating a shower enclosure or replacing older, worn-out fittings. Many systems include adjustable rails, flexible hoses and ergonomic hand showers for greater everyday convenience.
- Measure your available space carefully to ensure the set fits comfortably.
- Check connection sizes and confirm if you need an exposed or concealed installation.
- Consider thermostatic control for a safer, more consistent water temperature while showering.

Can a new shower head improve your daily routine?
Absolutely! Replacing a shower head is one of the quickest and easiest ways to refresh your bathroom without a full renovation. You can choose between wide rainfall, massage and multi-function designs, depending on the kind of shower experience you prefer and what your current plumbing allows.

Does water pressure matter?
Yes, it makes a huge difference. Some shower heads and taps perform best with high water pressure, while others are specifically designed to work efficiently in low-pressure systems. Checking your home's compatibility before making a purchase helps ensure a consistent water flow and a much more satisfying shower experience for years to come.
