Bath Shower Mixer Taps

Our Guide to Buying Bath Shower Mixer Taps

A bath tap with a shower attachment adds a versatile faucet to your bathroom that can make washing hair, rinsing items and even cleaning easy. A bath shower mixer tap is great for either a free-standing bath, or a bath shower if you are tight on space. 

How Bath Shower Mixer Taps Work

A bath shower mixer tap works by drawing both hot and cold water and mixing the two flows together into a single stream from one spout. There will be a diverter control that allows the water to flow through either the connected showerhead or the bath tap.

Types of Bath Shower Taps

Thermostatic Bath Shower Mixer Taps

A bath mixer tap using thermostatic technology ensures that the water remains at a constant temperature in the event that one of the hot or cold water supplies surges. 

Deck Mounted Mixers

The most common way of adding a bath shower mixer tap is with a deck-mounted style, which is simply where the tap is secured on the side of the bath. 

Wall Mounted Mixers

A wall-mounted bath mixer with a hand shower is a luxury option that looks beautiful when paired with a modern freestanding bath. The taps, shower handset and controls are attached to a panel on the wall, as opposed to being mounted to the side of the bath.
