Brass Kitchen Taps
Our brass kitchen taps range spans mono mixers, cross-head and lever mixers, deck and wall bridge mixers and traditional bib taps, ideal for Belfast sinks, island units and period kitchens alike. Each kitchen tap is engineered for reliable daily performance and coordinates with our wider brassware.
Brass Bathroom Taps
Our brass bathroom taps include basin mixers, three-hole basin sets, bath fillers, bath shower mixers and freestanding bath taps. Designed to bring warmth and heritage character to any bathroom, they pair beautifully with our brass shower heads and accessories.
What to Check Before You Buy
Count the tap holes in your basin, bath or sink first. One hole suits a mono mixer, two holes suit a pair of pillar or bib taps, and three holes suit a 3-hole mixer. Wall mounted taps need concealed pipework, so plan them in before tiling. For basins, check the reach of the spout so water lands near the centre of the bowl.
Finishes to Suit Every Scheme
Choose from Chrome, Nickel, Polished Brass, Brushed Brass and Brushed Nickel, so you can match your brass taps to the rest of your bathroom or kitchen. For a soft satin look that hides water marks, see our brushed brass taps.
