Bathroom Taps

littlerose12345

Hello all,

I'm having a major lack of inspiration when it comes to little details in my house renovation so thought i would start a (rather nosey!) thread - just wondering what bathroom taps you have chosen for your basin and bath?

Thanks in advance!

We've just had these put in our bathroom

Basin

Bath

But we didn't pay those prices .

Very heavy quality taps, builder said they'd be too heavy for a thin acrylic bath.

Hello TomsMom! They're lovely - where did you get them cheaper, I'm curious ebay?

I bought these for our shower room renovation:

We opted for pillar taps as we have unbalanced supplies (mains cold, gravity-fed hot). And Crosswater for the long guarantee. The levers on those twist rather than push up and down but they look very good quality, suitably heavy and sparkly. Do make sure whatever taps you choose are suitable for your water supplies.

Hi Andy!

They're lovely - what's that website like for delivery?

No Littlerose, not ebay. There is a seller on there called bristan_group which says it's supplied by Bristan Group Direct and their prices are good, but the Synergy taps we had are quite new I think and not on ebay at the moment.

I saw these taps in a showroom, googled for the best internet price then went to my local independent supplier and asked him to price match, which he did :T . I've done that with most things we've needed for our house renovation and a fair bit I've got from the local supplier, e.g. my kitchen appliances - handy if something goes wrong rather than have to email/phone/chase someone you've never seen face to face.

One internet company we did use was jabathrooms who say "We guarantee to give you the cheapest prices in the UK on the products you require". We used them for some border tiles and a hard to find toilet. We told them what we'd already been quoted and they came in lower, plus they were very helpful and delivery was on time and goods packed well.

There's a thread called First time House Renovation and there are a few of us that are doing blogs so you could always check those out.

Check out Hansgrohe on Ebay for their discontinued stock, wish I had bought from them instead of Kludi

Sorry to burst your bubble but you have bought cheap chinnese rubbish

Try getting spares for them when there less than 1yr old

Even screwfix cant help with details

Bristan- You should get around 35% of retail prices and are one of the best value for money with fantastic aftersales service
