Which Bath Tap Style Suits Your Bathroom Best?

Choosing the right bath tap isn’t just about looks—it depends on your bath type, plumbing layout, and how the space is used. A freestanding bath calls for something completely different to a built-in or back-to-wall setup. So before you pick your tap, it’s worth understanding what works best for your bathroom.

Wall-Mounted Bath Taps

Wall-mounted bath taps are a go-to for modern renovations. They give you a clean, open look and work especially well with freestanding or back-to-wall tubs. Because they’re mounted above the bath, they’re also easier to clean around—no grime building up around tap bases.

Some models—like our Bianca and Sky ranges—even include swivel spouts, which come in handy if you’ve got kids or just want more flexibility. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages of wall-mounted bathroom taps that are worth weighing up before you commit.

Deck-Mounted Mixer Bath Taps & Tapware Sets

Deck-mounted mixer bath taps are still a solid choice for built-in baths. They’re simple to install on the bath surround or hob, making them popular with budget-conscious renovators and anyone updating an older bathroom. While they’re not as trendy as wall-mounted or freestanding options, they’re reliable, practical, and widely available.

They also give you more flexibility with styles and handle options—especially if you’re trying to match existing plumbing or prefer a classic setup.

Freestanding Bath Tapware

If you’re looking to make a statement, freestanding bath taps are hard to beat. Paired with a freestanding tub, they add instant luxury and visual impact. These are most at home in modern, designer bathrooms—but they also work well in larger spaces where you want the bath to be a centrepiece.

Freestanding bath tapware pair perfectly with statement tubs and are a key feature in many of today’s stunning freestanding bath mixers.

TL;DR: The best bath tap for your bathroom depends on your bath type and layout. Wall-mounted taps offer a clean, modern look; deck-mounted mixer taps are practical and budget-friendly; and freestanding bath taps are perfect for bold, luxe spaces.

Matching Style & Finish to Your Bathroom

Choosing a bath tap isn’t just about how it works—it’s about how it looks. The finish and design you choose can either complement your bathroom or stand out as a feature. Whether you’re leaning ultra-modern or more traditional, there’s a tap to suit every taste and tile.

Modern Bath Taps

Modern bath taps lean on clean lines, slim silhouettes, and sleek finishes like chrome, matte black, or brushed gold and brushed nickel. These finishes are especially popular in wall-mounted bath spouts and freestanding bath mixers, where their bold colour and sleek shape can really stand out. They’re ideal for contemporary bathrooms where less is more—and pair well with floating vanities, frameless showers, and square-set fixtures.

Black Bath Taps & Gold Bath Taps

If you want your bath tapware to do more than blend in, black bath taps or gold bath taps bring the drama. These finishes are bold and work beautifully as contrast pieces—especially in bathrooms with white tiles, timber vanities, or stone accents.

Traditional Bath Taps

For character-filled renovations or period homes, traditional bath taps are the perfect fit. Think three piece tap sets with cross handles, curved spouts, and warm metallic finishes that echo classic design. These taps bring charm and balance when paired with clawfoot tubs or heritage tiles.

TL;DR: The finish of your bath tapware helps define your bathroom’s look—modern taps bring sleek minimalism, black and gold taps add bold contrast, and traditional styles offer timeless character with classic details like three-piece tap sets. There’s a finish to suit every space and aesthetic.

Bath Tap Sizing & Configuration Tips

Getting your bath tap’s sizing and setup right is just as important as choosing the style. It’s not just about looks—it’s about comfort, function, and avoiding installation regrets.

Get the Height & Reach Right

Always check the spout reach. Bath taps need more clearance than basin taps—while a basin spout might only reach 190mm, bath spouts often stretch to 240mm or more to comfortably clear the edge of the tub. If you’re using a mixer spout, make sure it projects far enough to fill the bath without splashing awkwardly off the wall or tiles.

Match Scale to Bath Type

A low-profile deck mixer might suit a built-in drop-in bath, but it’ll look lost next to a freestanding tub. For a clean, balanced look, make sure the size of your tap matches the visual weight of your bath—especially important for back-to-wall baths and freestanding baths.

Common Sizing Mistakes

We often see taps installed too far back on the wall or hob, making them awkward to reach or causing water to splash outside the bath. Another issue? Spouts that are too short to clear the bath edge, or cross handles and mixer levers that hit the bath lip or wall when turned. Double check your measurements before drilling in—getting it right now saves a headache later.
