Review: Quality and reasonable price - Excellent taps well made very pleased
Review: I absolutely love these taps - Such a utilitarian household product but I love these taps. For years I have put up with taps that had round handles, were ugly, and hard to turn with soapy hands. These taps look and feel classy and are a delight by comparison. I’ve always loved the traditional look of this tap design but had not bought them as I thought they would be hard to fit and I didn’t want the expense of a plumber to replace my old taps that weren’t actually broken. Well I was right about the hard to fit part due to the cramped space I was working in, but I’m proud of myself for managing it. Apart from looks, and their solid feel, I also like how they are so easy to turn and they release a lot of water at once due to the large spout, which means the water doesn’t come gushing out everywhere. My only gripe was that the hot tap turns clockwise to turn on. The hold and cold taps turn on in opposite directions which I think is stupid! So I paid a little extra for a cold tap valve to put into the hot tap and now they turn on the same way - ahh bliss.

## Features

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have brought these taps for my bathroom sink basin, bristan n 1/2 c cd 1901 basin. i like the taps, can they also be used as bath taps?**
A: Not an expert plumber but can't see why it wouldn't work- they have quite a long reach so should look OK. As already said by others Bath tap connections are usually 3/4 " but a good plumber will probably get round that

**Q: hello. do these taps contain the new valve type, included in models make after 2006? thanks. philip**
A: Not in 2014, as the producer then said.
Now it's 2022 and yes, they are ceramic valves with 1/4 turn open/close.
Same look, modern functions.

**Q: Are these second hand of what?**
A: Not sure I understand the question.  Are these second hand - no they are brand new and were easy to fit.  One criticism of the taps are that the centre ceramic hot/cold on the top of the taps often come unglued.  Seems to be a feature of these taps as I have the larger version on the bath and they do the same thing.

**Q: Replacement - swivel middle faucet outlet and cap ?**
A: I think so

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great taps, great price, odd operation
*by E***O on 28 October 2025*

Great price for these elegant taps. Good quality on first inspection. The only oddity is that the hot tap is a clockwise "on" rotation. The cold is normal anticlockwise "on". They replaced an exiting identical tap set which were both clockwise "on". Why the updated rotation is an improvement will be an eternal mystery. They also come with a 10 year Bristan warranty which has to be registered on-line. Of course the online registration has very poor functionality, which seems to be yet another benefit of everything going on-line.
