Browse over 40 basin mixer taps, from simple cold water taps to concealed wall-mounted basin mixers, available in finishes including chrome, matt black and brushed copper. The range starts from around £30 for a basic tap and goes up to around £170 for models with a swivel spout or waterfall spout.
Choosing the right basin tap for your bathroom
The first thing to consider is whether you need a mixer tap or a cold water tap. A cold water tap — such as the Aloni cold water taps with a 1/2" connection — is designed for a basin plumbed to cold water only, for example in a cloakroom or utility room. If you have both hot and cold water available, you'll want a single-lever basin mixer tap. Within that category, you can choose between surface-mounted and concealed models: the wall-mounted basin mixer from DutchLine (the S-Grip concealed body) requires a pre-prepared wall and is considerably more involved to install.
Next, consider the spout height and finish. A high-spout basin tap such as the DutchLine Thin Coldstart suits a countertop basin raised on a vanity top. For a standard inset basin, a tap with a standard spout height works perfectly well. The brands in this collection are Aloni (21 models), DutchLine (15 models) and Schwertz & Co (4 own-brand models). Finish options include chrome, matt black, brushed steel and brushed copper (PVD).
Installation: check your tap hole diameter
A common mistake is failing to check the tap hole in your basin before ordering. Most surface-mounted basin taps fit a standard 35 mm tap hole, but some basins have a larger hole or none at all. With a waterfall basin tap such as the Aloni Square, the base plate is wider — which looks great on a broad vanity top but can be too large for a narrow countertop basin. Always measure your tap hole and check that the back nut underneath will fit within the space below the basin, particularly with deeper basins.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a basin tap and a single-lever basin mixer tap?
Basin tap is the general term covering all taps fitted to a basin, including two-handle models and cold water taps. A single-lever basin mixer tap uses one handle to control both temperature and flow simultaneously. The majority of models in this collection are single-lever designs.
Can I order a Wolfsburg basin tap here?
The Wolfsburg series is part of the Schwertz & Co brand, which has four own-brand models in the collection: the Tollense, Rott, Brenz and Rhein. These taps are available in chrome and matt black. You can order them directly online or arrange to view them in person at our showroom in Rotterdam.
What is a cold water tap and when do I need one?
A cold water tap has no mixing function and is intended for situations where only a cold water supply is present, such as a cloakroom basin. The Aloni cold water taps in this collection have a standard 1/2" connection and are available in chrome and matt black, from around £30.
