Taps.

[Resolute]

Hi Folks,

I'm fitting a bathroom in a few weeks and need to source some taps for the customer. I'm after a set of Bath deck mixer taps with an integrated shower attachment and matching basin taps - does anyone have any recomendations? I've got around £150 to spend on the taps.

Cheers,
Pete.

Bathstore.com! They rip off the designs of all the posh taps.

I've fitted bath taps that cost two grand, and a month later you see them in Bathstore. They never weigh as much as the originals though!! They certainly cost less.

Cheers Steveb - I've flicked through the cat's and browsed online but was wondering if anyone had any they'd recomend that didn't just look cheap and nasty once installed. I know - typical customer that wants top end quality for peanuts and as usual didn't have any idea how much taps cost!

Id hate to pick up the originals if the bathstore ones arent as heavy, some of them weigh a ton!

Try Bristan as well, although a brand name they are not always expensive. IMHO you get what you pay for in a tap

I agree entirely, however the customer thought taps would only be about £40! I'm trying to educate them though!

Will have a look at Bristan and Bathstore though.

I fit for bathstore but would personally go for Bristan first as i know i could get parts for these in 5 years time if i need them.

Funny how customers have no idea what these things cost, same people will spend a fortune on other things that the restof us 'normal' people wouldnt dream of spending money on

I got some Bristan regency taps from PTS, I had a whopping chuck knocked off the retail price (5 pairs of taps) saved nearly £200 off full retail.
