Choosing a kitchen mixer tap isn't just about finish — it's about the connection type, spout style, and how your kitchen sink has been drilled. This range features 40 models from brands including DutchLine, Xellanz, Aloni, Wiesbaden, and VitrA, with prices starting from around £50 up to approximately £280. Whether you're replacing an existing tap or fitting one from scratch, you'll find a model to suit a standard single-hole kitchen sink as well as wall-mounted installations.
Which Kitchen Mixer Tap Is Right for You
The first decision is how the tap will be fitted. Most kitchen mixer taps in this range are designed for deck-mounting through a single pre-drilled hole in the sink. If your splashback is drilled instead, or you'd prefer to keep the worktop clear, look specifically at wall-mounted options such as the Aloni Pure with wall-mounted fitting. The connection is almost always 3/8 inch flexible hose, so compatibility is rarely an issue.
The second decision is the spout. A fixed spout works perfectly well for a standard kitchen sink, but if you have a large sink or want to rinse vegetables with ease, a pull-out spray head gives you far more flexibility. Models from Xellanz and Aloni offer this option. For finishes, the range includes matt chrome, brushed steel, brushed brass, and gunmetal PVD. PVD finishes are more resistant to scratches and water marks than standard chrome plating.
Installation Tips
The most common mistake when replacing a kitchen mixer tap is cutting the connection hoses too short or overtightening them. Always leave enough slack in the flexible connection hoses and avoid applying excessive force to the back nut beneath the sink — the plastic threaded tail snaps more easily than you'd expect. Hand-tighten the nut first, then give it a quarter-turn with a spanner.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a swivel spout and a pull-out spray head?
A swivel spout lets you direct the flow left or right — useful if you have a double sink. A pull-out spray head extends from the tap body so you can aim it precisely, giving you greater reach. Which works better depends on the size of your sink and how you use it day to day.
Will a matt chrome kitchen tap work alongside chrome fittings?
Matt chrome has a lightly satin sheen and sits slightly warmer in tone than polished chrome. It pairs well with contemporary kitchens but will look noticeably different next to high-shine chrome. If you need to match existing fittings, check the exact finish description in the product name carefully.
Can I fit a kitchen mixer tap myself without a plumber?
In most cases, yes — provided the connections match your existing pipework and you can isolate the water supply. Installation is similar to fitting a basin mixer tap: connect the flexible connection hoses to the hot and cold supplies, secure the back nut, and you're done. For wall-mounted models, some plumbing knowledge is advisable.
