Basin Tap and Waste Buying Guide
Choose basin taps, wastes and traps that work together.
Quick checklist
- Check if the basin has one tap hole, two tap holes or needs a wall-mounted tap.
- Match the waste type to the basin overflow: slotted for overflow, unslotted for no overflow.
- Use a tall mixer for many countertop basins, depending on bowl height.
- Match the bottle trap and visible fittings to the tap finish where possible.
Before you buy
Bathroom products need to match the room, the pipework and the other visible fittings. The main mistake customers make is buying the headline product but forgetting small parts like wastes, traps, valves, fixings or connectors.
For the best result, measure the finished space, check the product specification, and make a short list of every related part needed before you order.
Common extras to check
- Waste fittings and traps
- Valves, connectors and fixings
- Matching finish accessories
- Delivery access for large items
- Professional installation requirements for plumbing, heating or electrical products
