The Hansgrohe Vernis Blend tap is specifically engineered to function effectively even when your home's water pressure is low, ensuring a satisfactory water flow and performance.
How do I clean the matt black finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent damage to the finish.
Does this tap come with hoses for connection?
Typically, connection hoses are sold separately. Please check the product packaging or consult the retailer for specifics.
What is the warranty period for this tap?
The Hansgrohe Vernis Blend Bath Mixer Tap comes with a five-year manufacturer's warranty, subject to terms and conditions.
Can I replace the ceramic valves if they wear out?
Yes, Hansgrohe guarantees spare parts availability for up to 15 years after the range is discontinued. You can source replacement ceramic valves from authorized dealers or contact Hansgrohe customer service.
What does WRAS-approved mean?
WRAS approval signifies that the product has been tested and meets the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards for safety, quality, and performance in the UK.
Is this tap suitable for a pressurised unvented hot water system?
While designed for low pressure, its quality ceramic valves and construction should generally be compatible with standard pressurised systems. However, it's always best to confirm with your installer or plumbing professional.
Troubleshooting
Tap drips when turned off
The ceramic valves may require cleaning or replacement. Contact Hansgrohe support or a qualified plumber.
Low water flow or inconsistent temperature
Check if the tap is suitable for your water pressure system. Ensure any aerators or flow restrictors are clean and not blocked. Verify hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected and open.
Handles feel loose or stiff
The internal ceramic valves might be affected. Tighten any accessible fittings or contact customer support for guidance on valve maintenance or replacement.
Unusual noise during operation
While designed for quiet operation, check if the silencer is correctly in place. If noise persists and is excessive, consult a plumber to inspect for potential installation issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a two-tap hole, rim-mounted bath mixer. Installation requires a suitable bath or deck with two pre-drilled holes at the correct spacing. Ensure a qualified plumber handles the installation to connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the respective inlets and secure the tap to the mounting surface. Follow manufacturer guidelines for precise fitting.
Compatibility: The tap is specifically designed for low water pressure systems. It is WRAS-approved, indicating compliance with UK water regulations. Verify that your existing plumbing can support a two-hole installation.
Care: To maintain the on-trend matt black finish, clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
