Prices move with brand, model, size and stock. Use these ranges to judge a quote, then compare the exact model and what is included.
Single lever or widespread
A single lever has one handle and needs one hole, and a widespread faucet has two handles and a spout on three holes, giving a classic look. Choose the type your basin and counter allow, and measure the spacing before buying.
Finishes
Chrome is the easiest to match and clean. Matte black, brushed gold and brushed nickel give a modern look but show marks. Choose one finish across all bathroom faucets and accessories so they match.
Brass and ceramic quality
A brass body with a ceramic disc cartridge lasts longest. Zinc bodies corrode and pit. Lift the faucet to feel its weight, and check the plating and the handle action. Ask for spare cartridges.
Flow and pressure
An aerator keeps the flow soft at about 5 to 8 litres a minute and saves water. Low pressure from a roof tank may need a pump. Mixers need balanced hot and cold pressure.
Fitting
Use flexible hoses, angle valves and PTFE tape, and test for leaks. Fixed plumbing should be done by a licensed plumber.
What to check before buying
- Type and holes. Match the fixture
- Body and cartridge. Brass and ceramic
- Finish. Consistent across the room
- Warranty. Written
Matching the set
Choose basin, bath and shower faucets together so the finish and style agree. See bathroom tap sets for bundled options.
Before you decide
Choose the type for each position, check the body and cartridge and keep one finish. Good bathroom faucets give years of quiet, drip-free use. Keep the box and the warranty card until everything is fitted and tested, and ask the plumber to flush the pipes before connecting, because grit left in new pipes is the usual reason a new cartridge fails in the first month.
