Kitchen Taps
City Plumbing sells a huge variety of kitchen taps; the essential centrepiece where daily utility meets interior design. As the most-used fixture in the home, a tap must balance durability with style. Whether it's a sleek monobloc in a modern flat or a classic bridge mixer in a traditional kitchen, the right decision assures design balance.
Our collections prioritise form and function, featuring professional-grade pull-out sprays and refined finishes like matte black and brushed brass. These taps serve as a high-performing focal point, elevating the efficiency and finishing look of the modern British kitchen.
How to Choose the Right Kitchen Tap for Your Project
Choosing the right kitchen tap is a harmony of performance and style:
- Functionality: Prioritise daily use demands by selecting ceramic disc valves, internal mechanisms that control water flow and help prevent dripping, for lasting dependability and smooth operation under high pressure.
- Hygiene: Look to modern features such as touchless sensors or high-arch spouts to minimise cross-contamination and simplify cleaning.
- Aesthetic Impact: Treat the tap as the kitchen's "jewel." A suitably selected finish, for example, brushed gold or matte black, can unify the design and raise the entire room’s décor.
- Client Satisfaction: For those in the trade, recommend those advanced upgrades, such as 3-in-1 boiling water taps. Providing these "wow-factor" features increases project value and long-term client happiness.
Types of Kitchen Taps
Choosing the right kitchen tap is essential to match the plumbing setup and a homeowner's lifestyle. Here’s a quick breakdown of the primary types you’ll find available at City Plumbing:
- Mixer Taps: These are the modern standard, featuring a single body that blends hot and cold water through a single spout, offering precise temperature control and a streamlined look.
- Pillar Taps: Consisting of two separate taps, one for hot, one for cold, these are the traditional choice for period-style kitchens and specific two-tap hole sinks.
- Pull-Out Spray Taps: Featuring a retractable hose, these provide professional-grade flexibility, making it easy to rinse vegetables or clean hard-to-reach sink corners.
- Boiling Water Taps: The ultimate convenience upgrade, boiling water taps deliver filtered, 100 degrees C water instantly, eliminating the need for a kettle and saving countertop space.
- Filter Taps: These feature an integrated filtration system that removes impurities and limescale, providing high-quality drinking water directly from the cold lever.
- Bridge Taps: A classic design in which the hot and cold handles are joined by a horizontal "bridge" over the spout; they are the definitive choice for pairing with Belfast or Butler sinks.
Kitchen Taps Key Considerations for Trade Professionals and Homeowners
For trade professionals and homeowners, selecting a kitchen tap means juggling technical requirements with a quality finish. Essential considerations include:
Technical Specifications
- Water Pressure: Performance depends on the bar rating, which measures water pressure. Always check whether a tap is suitable for a low-pressure (gravity-fed, using the height of a water tank to supply water) or high-pressure (combi/unvented, which uses a boiler or pressurised cylinder) system to deliver a steady flow.
- Mounting & Holes: Choose deck-mounted (attached directly onto the sink or worktop) for standard installs or wall-mounted (fixed to the wall above the sink) for a clean, minimalist look. Ensure the sink's hole configuration (1, 2, or 3 pre-drilled holes that fit different tap types) is consistent with the tap style.
- Compliance: Always look for WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval. This certification ensures the tap meets UK water regulations, preventing contamination and fulfilling legal requirements for new builds and commercial projects.
Design & Materials
- Materials: Solid brass remains the industry standard for longevity, while chrome-plated finishes provide a classic, easy-to-maintain surface.
- 2026 Finish Trends: While Chrome and Brushed Steel are staples, Matte Black and Gunmetal are surging in popularity for modern projects. For a luxury touch, Aged Brass or Gold finishes add warmth and a high-end designer feel.
- Spout Style: Consider the kitchen's workflow. A high arc (swan neck) provides clearance for large pots, while a swivel spout is essential for double sinks.
Advanced Features & Quality
- Components: Prioritise ceramic disc cartridges (internal mechanisms that provide watertight seals and a more refined feel at the tap handle) to prevent drips, and aerators (devices at the tip of your tap that mix air with water) to reduce water splash and consumption.
- Safety: For boiling-water taps, ensure child-safety locks (which prevent children from activating hot water unintentionally) and cool-touch surfaces (surfaces that do not get hot to the touch) are standard.
