Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap Single Lever Monobloc Polished Chrome Mixers Taps 1 Hole Swan Neck Modern 360° Swivel Spout Mono Faucet with UK Standard Fittings

Many years ago the first ceramic insert taps or faucets came onto the market with an eye watering bang. They promised perfect smooth useage and no leaks plus the ability to design much more funky taps. But the cost. Oh. My. God. The cost. I remember pulling open my wallet and shelling out the thick end of two hundre quid for a fancy sounding tap that She Who Must Be Obeyed wanted with tears in my eyes. Fast forward a few years and you can get a half decent looking tap with a cermic tap insert for less than twenty quid. This one was less than thirty quid for goodness sake. So cheap its not even worth worrying about fixing a tap when it leaks. Which is the slight negative because when the old rubber seating taps leaked you simply spent 2p and changed the rubber. When the cermic tap fails chances are the easiest and cheapest solution is to replace the entire unit which isn't very environmental. Anyway, after four years of kitchen use my previous tap started to drip and rather than let it go because I work overseas I changed it ASAP. It was almost identical to this one and if I was to guess probably made in the same factory in China. So roughly you could say this should give about four to five years of uninterupted service as a guide. Build quality is pretty good to be honest. Seals are well made and the overall feel is hefty with the lever giving a smooth action. You get all the fittings needed included to fit to a standard 15mm ball isolating valve or fitting which adds to the value. To fit is simple and I took about ten minutes from start to finish. I am a marine engineer so used to messing around with pipework but I doubt that even a complete newbie would struggle for much more than 20 minutes to change out this tap. Value is outstanding. Really. Effectively, this sould cost you less than four or five quid a year if it lasts as long as my last one. Looks are subjective but I like this simple, clean modern look. Its also high enough to allow you to fill a water jug or kettle easily. Overall this is hard to knock because its so well made for so little money.

What a fantastic tap, and great service.A five star review, not just for the tap but for Amazon too. First day on site in our caravan, the washroom tap split and began leaking. I managed to blank off the pipes but we had no water to the washroom sink. An original replacement tap was above £80, with nobody holding stock anyway. So ,straight to amazon. At £20, I was expecting some cheaply finished badly made tap that would do just as a temporary measure. However, it is such a great quality domestic tap that it will be staying in place, and when the caravan kitchen tap inevitably fails, I will replace it with another one of these. It's extremely well made, with absolutely no play or slack on the swivel faucet. The tap control has a lovely positive, solid feel to it and allows easy and accurate mixing of hot and cold water, and flow rate. The chrome finish is faultless, and it really looks the part. We have taps at home that cost 5 times as much as this, and this looks and feels every bit as well made. Its also so easy to fit, with no tools required. The quality stainless flexible tails supplied terminate in a standard 1/2" tap fitting, and the other end screws securely into the tap body by hand. The plastic locking collar is moulded to be gripped and tightened securely just by hand, and the spreader washer and rubber seal really seat it down firmly without any further sealant required. Fitting took no more than 5 minutes in the existing hole. If you have to bore a hole as well, then it would be a 10 minute job start to finish. It really is that easy to fit. A note for caravaners, I did have to buy an additional pair of fittings, some john guest 1/2" tap to 12mm push-fit, to connect the tails to the caravan pipework ( see the picture) . I think they were a tenner and it all went together with no dramas. I didn't even have a spanner for the 1/2" tap fittings, but the rubber washer supplied in the tails is so good that I could wind them tight enough to seal just with my fingers. Fantastic tap, easy to fit, perfect finish. Oh, and the five stars to amazon? I ordered these at 7.00pm on the platinum jubilee Thursday, they were delivered to a local drop point and ready for collection by 4.00 pm next day, in spite of it being platinum jubilee Bank Holiday Friday. Holiday saved, caravan repaired, what can I say? A great tap, and a five star review not just for the tap but for Amazon too. We arrived on our caravan site and the washroom tap immediately split, leaking water everywhere. I managed to blank the pipes, but it left us with no water to the washroom sink. A direct replacement tap was over £90, but nobody was holding stock. So, straight onto Amazon. I found this tap and for £20 I was expecting a cheaply made, poorly finished tap that would do as a temporary replacement. I was wrong. The fit and finish are amazing for the price. We have taps at home costing 6 times the price of this, and this one is every bit as good. It feels very solidly put together. The finish is flawless, and the tap control has a heavy, positive feel making it easy to accurately adjust the mix and flow. There is no play or slack on the swivelling faucet, which also has a nice solid feel to it. This tap is so nice that we will most definitely keep it as a permanent replacement replacement, ad when the kitchen tap inevitably fails, I'll replace it with another one of these. The major plus is that it is so easy to fit without any tools. The quality stainless flexible tails screw into the body and seal by hand. The plastic locking collar is moulded to be gripped and tightened securely just by hand, and the spreader washer and rubber seal really seat it down firmly without any further sealant required. A fantastic tap for the money, and it took less than five minutes to fit into the existing hole. If you need to drill a hole for it, then it's a 10 minute job start to finish. A note for caravaners. I had to buy an additional pair of fittings (john guest 1/2" to 12mm push-fit) to adapt the tails for the caravan pipework (see pictures). They were a tenner for the pair and it went together with no dramas. The rubber seal in the tail is such good quality that I even managed to attach the john guest fitting tight enough to seal just with my fingers. A last note about the service. I ordered these on platinum jubilee Thursday bank holiday at 7.00pm. The were delivered to a local collection point by 4.00pm the following day, platinum jubilee Friday bank Holiday. Great tap, great service, Holiday saved.

Bought this to replace a similar tap that I’d bought from a plumbing merchant for considerably more but was of equal quality. That one lasted less than 2 years and was constantly dripping. I hope this one lasts longer but we have bad water quality so I doubt it. For the price if it lasts 2 years that’s fine. Never changed a kitchen tap before but it wasn’t too hard. Only issues were that the parts supplied didn’t quite match the instructions. Also, the one hose was right against the side of the tap where the bottom screwed in so it wouldn’t catch when I tried. Had to use an old hose from the previous tap. Also, you can’t get a spanner up into the tap to tighten the hoses but it hasn’t leaked yet with just hand pressure tightening. It looks good, well made, good quality, easy to fit, great value, can’t really moan.

Early days as I only fitted the tap this afternoon but loving it so far. The quality seems good to me, time will tell if it lasts. It took me much longer to remove the old tap than to fit the new one. The correct parts were included and I just followed the instructions and everything was fine.

Really good tap for the price

Looks great. Had it 6 months. It’s now leaking top and bottom as per the video in the reviews. AVOID unless you like changing you sink taps often.

Bought this to replace a double tap mixer that had various issues aka worn out and snapped off where it fits to the sink, wanted a single tap mixer this time as I've always liked this style, fitted straight in with no fuss, seems to be made quite well, only time will tell how long it lasts before it drips then again you can replace the tap cartridge on these style of taps if that's ever an issue, I live in a soft water area so hopefully mine should last for a bit.

Muy contento con el grifo. Es ligero, rápido de instalar y además también se puede instalar en el baño si se prefiere. Los dos maguitos flexibles que trae son algo mas largos que los del grifo anterior. Tienen la suficiente longitud como para no tener que añadirles empalmes adicionales ni nada. Otra cosa que me ha gustado mucho a la hora de instalarlo ha sido el sistema de sujeción al fregadero, simple y muy intuitivo, con dos gomas de silicona y a rosca. En las imagenes se puede apreciar bien. En cuanto a la presión del agua es perfecta, va muy suave y progresivo. En resumen muy contento por su calidad y gran precio.

bueno, bonito y barato. lleva la conexión a la toma de agua de 1/2, en mi caso (e imagino que en es España será para casi todos) he tenido que comprar un adaptador a 3/8 tal y como dice la descripción del producto. Las he comprado por algo mas de un euro, así que estupendo. Viene con las instrucciones para la instalación y es muy facil.

PROS -Grifo muy digno a un precio muy competitivo. Los que encontré por este precio en centros de bricolaje parecían de juguete. -Instalación bastante sencilla y latiguillos incluidos aptos para mi instalación. -Sin goteos ni problemas de ningún tipo en los primeros días de uso. -Diseño y aspecto bastante chulo considerando el precio económico. -El grifo (tipo 1 en las fotos) se monta prácticamente sin herramientas, aunque dependiendo del grifo que sustituyáis, necesitaréis una llave de tubo del 13 para desmontar el viejo si es del tipo 2 (ver fotos) y una llave inglesa para los latiguillos. MEJORABLE -Bastante más ruidoso que el RS que he sustituido. A mi no me molesta, pero puede serlo para según quien. -Aunque la instalación es bastante simple, las instrucciones las he encontrado muy justas. Algunas aclaraciones me hubieran ahorrado minutos de montaje. Por ejemplo, en el manual no se diferencia bien la arandela de la junta. La arandela (más fina) va en la parte superior del mármol y queda disimulada bajo el grifo. La varilla roscada no es igual por los dos extremos. La sección con rosca más corta va en el grifo, la larga bajo el mármol.

Buen producto, buenos acabados y fácil de instalar. No se puede pedir más, bueno.bonito y barato. La instalación es bastante rápida. Buenos acabados

No lo volvería a comprar ya que poco importa que sea bonito y no demasiado caro, si a los 2 años está perdiendo agua por las juntas y hay que comprar otro. Al final sale caro!!
