Choosing bathroom taps

Which tap should I choose?

Taps can be the last thing that people think of when planning a new bathroom, but they make a real difference to the overall look and feel of your beautiful new space. To help you make the choice that’s perfect for you, we’ve prepared this guide to choosing bathroom taps, so you can finish off your stunning new bathroom to perfection.

At Heritage, we have eight stylish ranges to choose from, all designed in the UK to coordinate beautifully with our suites. Available for both basins and baths, we have options for bidets, too. Our beautiful Heritage taps are designed specifically for the UK and can operate effectively even at low pressure, making them suitable for all water systems. Made from high quality brass, with stylish and unique designs, our taps also feature a five year guarantee for added reassurance.

Types of bath taps

Taps come in all shapes and sizes. Take a look at our wide range of stylish taps, and you’ll see just how many gorgeous options there are. Although people tend to have one classic in mind whenever they think of bathroom taps, there are a real variety to choose from. We’ve pulled together a quick glossary of types of bath taps below.

Pillar Taps

Pillar taps are what might be called the most ‘classic’ taps. They feed hot and cold water through separate taps, and are an extremely popular choice for both baths and basins.

Mixer Taps

Mixer Taps – which blend hot and cold water together before delivering it through one spout - are enjoying growing popularity.

Bath Shower Mixers

Bath Shower Mixer Taps provide a flexible option for the bath, blending bath taps and shower function. These are available deck mounted (fitted onto the bath itself) or freestanding, which gives a sophisticated, modern touch.

Wall Mounted Basin or Bath Shower Mixer

For an even more contemporary look, you could choose to install a Wall Mounted Basin or Bath Mixer. These are perfect for where there are no tap holes installed - on a counter top basin, for instance.
