Advice needed on kitchen mixer tap.

justaquestion

Hi folks,


I need to replace the mixer tap in my kitchen, I wonder if you could be good enough to have a look at both of these from Screwfix and which one would you pick?


As they are near I will buy from them.

Thanks a lot.

Personal choice I suppose. Myself, I like the 2nd one. The first one looks a bit like the standard one that came with my new-build kitchen. It did last for years though (sadly!)

Didn't look at the products in great detail, but I'd go for the one with the longest guarantee. I replaced a 2 year old kitchen tap earlier this year that only had a one year guarantee from B&Q. It started dripping, I couldn't buy replacement cartridges yet they still sell the same taps!


The replacement I bought has a 5 year guarantee which I've stapled to the receipt.

The first one looks very old-fashioned.

Agree with flash, they are both deck mounted, high and low pressure double feed, single flow with aerator. You just need to make sure that your existing set up has flexible hoses or you will need to buy some.
