FAQs

What is the primary finish of this tap?

This tap features a high-quality, on-trend matt black finish.

Are the valves easy to replace?

The tap uses 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves, which are designed for longevity, but should be replaced by a professional if repair is required.

Does it come with a shower handset?

Yes, it includes a rub-clean handset designed to resist limescale.

Can I use harsh chemicals to clean it?

No, you should only use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasives to prevent damaging the matt black coating.

How do I ensure it stays secure on the bath?

The tap includes a robust metal fixing nut that, when installed correctly, provides a stable, secure mount.

Is this tap suitable for low-pressure systems?

You should check the technical specifications against your home's water pressure, as this model typically requires adequate pressure for best performance.

Troubleshooting

Water flow is weak or inconsistent

Check that the water pressure is sufficient for the tap and ensure no debris is blocking the supply lines.

Shower handset spray pattern is irregular

Use the rub-clean function on the handset nozzles to break up and remove limescale deposits.

Tap handle feels loose

Ensure the metal fixing nut underneath the bath is tightened securely; consult a plumber if the internal valve needs adjustment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, on-trend matt black finish
  • Easy-clean features reduce limescale build-up
  • Durable ceramic disc valves for long life
  • Secure installation with metal fixing nuts

Cons

  • May show water spots more easily due to dark finish
  • Performance is dependent on water pressure compatibility
  • Requires professional installation for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber to ensure all connections are watertight and the fixing nut is properly tightened. Before installation, confirm that your existing water pressure meets the manufacturer’s requirements, as high-pressure systems are recommended for optimal flow. For ongoing care, clean the unit regularly using mild, soapy water. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the specialized matt black finish. Periodically inspect the handset nozzles and gently rub them to clear away any calcium buildup to maintain full spray performance.
