Update your Bathroom with Stylish Bath Taps
Stylish new bath taps are the perfect way to inject a touch of contemporary style into your tired old bathroom. There's no need to spend a fortune fitting a new bathroom when you can add some little touches that will instantly lift a dated bathroom into the 21st century! Take a few moments to read through our handy guide to bath taps and see if they could be the right product for you and your bathroom.
A Variety of Styles
From traditional Victorian styled brass taps to the latest chrome taps with in-built water filters, there are so many different kinds of bath taps out there that it can be hard to know just where to start! Bear in mind the current style of your bathroom – chrome rectangular taps are modern and stylish, but won't work with a roll top bath and period styling. Likewise, traditional Victorian brass bath taps are all wrong for a sleek chrome and glass style bathroom. Look at the existing style and choose taps to complement it, bringing out your bathroom's best features!
Fitting your Bath Taps
Taps can be fitted fairly easily, and many come with an easy to fit mechanism, so you won't need the services of a qualified plumber. Always remember to turn the water off before fitting your new bath taps, and if in doubt, call the experts! Tap fitting is a relatively simple task, so show your other half this article to prove you're not about to destroy the house before you get started.
Where to Buy your Taps
You could buy your taps from a bathroom showroom website, or opt for the DIY approach and purchase from an online retailer such as Wickes or B & Q. Sometimes, these websites have the best prices, and may offer discount if you're ordering in bulk. This means that you could convince a friend to buy some new bath taps too and together save money with a discounted deal!
Spend a bit of time thinking about whether you want single taps or a mixer tap – mixers are a great option for baths as you can adjust the temperature to suit, for the perfect not-too-hot bath everytime! You can even buy bath and shower mixers with a shower head that can be used over the bath – this is the ideal space and money saver for anyone who doesn't want to spend money fitting a separate electric shower, or anyone who has a very small bathroom.
