Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the best tapware finish for bathrooms?

    The best tapware finish depends on your style, water quality and maintenance preferences. Chrome is classic, affordable and easy to clean, but it can show fingerprints and water spots. Matte black is modern and hides marks well, but may scratch more easily. Brushed nickel and gunmetal are popular for their soft sheen and resistance to smudging. If you have hard water, it’s smart to choose a finish that won’t easily show limescale buildup. 

  • Are wall-mounted taps a good idea?

    Wall-mounted taps are a stylish and space-saving option, especially in minimalist or modern bathroom designs. They create a clean, streamlined look and make benchtop cleaning easier. However, they require more complex installation and careful planning, particularly around wall cavity space and plumbing points. Retrofitting them can be expensive, so they’re best suited to new builds or full renovations. They work well with vessel basins or where bench space is limited, but professional advice is recommended to ensure proper installation and function.

  • Do all taps fit all sinks or basins?

    Not necessarily. Taps come in different configurations to suit various basin types and installation styles. Some sinks require a single-hole mixer tap, while others may need separate hot and cold taps. Wall-mounted and benchtop-mounted taps also have different plumbing requirements. Before purchasing, check how many tap holes your sink or basin has and whether it’s compatible with the tap style you’re considering. It’s also wise to confirm water pressure requirements, as some designer taps need higher pressure to function correctly.

Styles, Finishes & Function That Last

Choosing the right tapware means balancing aesthetics with quality. Finishes like brushed nickel, chrome, matte black or gunmetal each offer a different look, but they also vary in how they wear and resist marks over time. Some finishes hide fingerprints and water spots better than others, making them ideal for busy households. Beyond surface style, it’s worth considering the tap’s function. Do you want mixer taps, wall-mounted options, or something with a pull-out nozzle for extra reach? Ensuring your tapware suits your space, plumbing layout and everyday habits will make all the difference long term.


If you're not sure where to start, it helps to bring in photos of your current bathroom or kitchen. Seeing the tapware in person and testing the handle feel or spout shape can make decision-making easier and more practical.
