Short Basin Mixer Taps - brass

A sink mixer is designed for kitchen or laundry sinks, typically larger and great for higher water flow for washing dishes or cookware. A basin mixer, however, is built for bathroom basins, usually smaller in design, with precise flow and temperature control for personal use.

Most basin mixer taps are made to fit a standard 32–35mm tap hole, ensuring compatibility with most basins. However, variations exist depending on design and brand. It’s always best to check measurements before purchase to ensure a perfect fit with your chosen vanity or basin.

Technically, you can install a basin mixer tap on a bath, but it’s not recommended. Baths generally require higher flow rates for quick filling, while basin mixers are designed for lower flow and smaller spaces. Unless they're explicitly compatible, it's better to use the right bath mixer to ensure efficiency, safety, and longevity.

Please consider the following points to find the right basin mixer for your bathroom:

• Size: Match the tap height and spout reach to your basin size.
• Design: Round or square styles depending on bathroom décor.
• Material: Solid brass or stainless steel for durability.
• Finish: Chrome, matte black, or brushed tones for aesthetics.
• Water rating: Look for high WELS ratings for efficiency.
• Functionality: Smooth cartridge operation for easy control.
