10 Best Bathroom Taps UK 2024

It was hard work choosing our number one. After all, ranking something that is effectively subjective is hard. That said, we settled on these Bristian Clio Basin Pillar Taps. The reason? Their height and reach make them suitable for a range of different basins, thus ensuring they're more versatile. 

Not only that, but they also employ lever-style handles, which might not be to everybody's taste, but are the most comfortable and easiest to use. Add to that the chrome-plated finish, and we think these might be some of the most universally acceptable taps in the game, and it's this that fired them to the top.

If you're looking for modern taps without breaking the bank, then you'll be over the moon to discover Hapilife's Waterfall Basin Tap. This contemporary piece has the sought-after black finish, which is the same standard grade of paint used on vehicles, so you don't have to worry about it fading any time soon. 

Not only that, they built the tap with a height and reach that is likely to suit any average home, meaning that style isn't solely for those who have deep pockets. We're sure it'll split the crowd, but for those who are set on this style, we know you'll be happy! 

In our opinion, nothing quite says traditional style like a pair of gold finished, coss head knob taps. Therefore, if you're looking to lean into a classic aesthetic, these will be one of the best final touches you could want for the bathroom. Luckily, they're more than just looks, though.

One of the standout points from this set is that they work with both high and low pressure, meaning they'll be suitable for practically any bathroom with two tap holes. Plus, many buyers comment on how well and steadily they flow. 

This waterfall basin tap from Celala has a square design that will fit nicely with a modern bathroom. Further inside the tap is a built-in ceramic cartridge that efficiently mixes the hot and cold water, ensuring that it's easy to find the perfect temperature. 

One other aspect we love - and this is just who we are - is the economical price, making this a grand option if you're putting your bathroom together on a small budget. After all, who's to say you shouldn't have quality as well? 

These pillar taps from Abode are a great way of adding a traditional touch to your bathroom. However, they're not 100% classic as they still employ a more modern chrome finish, meaning they strike a nice balance between classic and contemporary. 

It's also worth noting that these are designed to work with lower water pressure, so they're a solid option for those in this situation. They're also a little on the smaller side, which could be positive or negative depending on what type of basin you have.  

If you've got a free wall behind the basin or a large bathroom with plenty of space, then this mammoth tap could be right up your street. This offering from Hansgrohe is the largest option in our ranking in both height and reach, so, while it's expensive, you're getting a lot of tap for your money. 

In addition to the size, this also uses a very modern aesthetic with a stylish matt black finish that wouldn't look out of place on Pinterest. Plus, it's both eco-friendly and anti-limescale. It's probably too big and pricey for most folks, but if you've got the space and the money, and you want this look, you'll be hard-pressed to find any quite this good. 

Hansgrohe makes excellent taps for the bathroom, more of which we'll see later, but for now, we have the Logis Basin Mixer Tap. This tap utilises technology that has a reduced flow rate of 5 L/per minute, meaning you'll significantly cut down your water consumption. 

When it comes to the design, it's a bit unique in that it's a little chunkier than many other options on the market, which will appeal to some, but not others. Sadly, this will only work in homes with high pressure, which isn't overly common in the UK. 

With its swan-like spout, this isn't only one of the tallest bathroom taps in our ranking, it's also one of (if not the) most regal looking. This is especially pertinent when you consider the antique brass finish. While we can't confirm it, we're pretty sure the Queen would have a few of these knocking about in her many rooms! 

Of course, when purchasing a tap fit for a palace, you expect to pay a premium price, so while this is stunning, it's likely to be a bit more than many are willing to pay. That said, it is cheaper if you opt for the more contemporary chrome finish they have available. 

One of the features that stands out with this set is the materials. Although they have a chrome effect finish, inside, they use brass, which the company claims is a more durable and healthier option. On the outer layer, they have employed a no spot or chrome surface, so you won't have to worry about blemishes. 

Furthermore, the taps also include oxygen injection technology, which can decrease your water consumption by up to 20%, saving you a little on your water bills. They have been known to be a little tricky to fit, though, so you'll need to be confident in your handy work!

Getting the ranking underway, we have this Sentiment Basin Mixer Bathroom Tap from Abode. It employs independent cross head knobs for both hot and cold water, and while the tap is a single spout, the design still makes this feel rather traditional. 

Moreover, the spout measurements show that the piece isn't too high but still has good reach, making it ideal for large basins under cupboards. However, these might not work efficiently for those with low pressure, as the system requires a minimum of 0.15 bar.
