The tap is manufactured from high-quality brass with a chrome finish and white detailing on the indices and handles.
Yes, this bath shower mixer tap comes complete with a shower kit, including the shower head, hose, and cradle.
The shower function is typically activated by a diverter mechanism, often engaged when the shower head is lifted or a specific lever is operated, directing water flow to the shower outlet instead of the bath spout.
While the tap can function on lower pressure systems, its performance, especially the shower function, is optimized with adequate water pressure. We recommend checking the minimum pressure requirements for best results.
The tap features a traditional design with classic crosshead and white detailing. It is best suited for bathrooms with a traditional or vintage aesthetic. For modern bathrooms, other ranges might offer a more contemporary style.
Clean the tap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For limescale, use a mild diluted vinegar solution and rinse thoroughly.
Yes, matching brassware is available in the Balterley Kingsey range to create a consistent look in your bathroom.
Check that the handles are fully closed. If the dripping persists, the internal ceramic disc cartridges may need cleaning or replacing.
Ensure both hot and cold water isolation valves under the bath are fully open. Check the aerator on the spout and the shower head for blockages from debris or limescale. Clean or replace as necessary. Verify that your home's water pressure meets the minimum requirements.
The diverter mechanism might be obstructed or worn. Inspect for any debris lodged in the mechanism. If wear is suspected, the diverter may need replacement.
Ensure all connections are tight. Check for any loose parts. Water hammer can sometimes occur; this may require a plumber to install a water hammer arrestor.
Setup: This tap is designed for deck mounting, meaning it installs directly onto the edge of your bath. Ensure your bath has the pre-drilled holes in the correct position. Follow the manufacturer's installation guide carefully, connecting the hot and cold water supply lines to the respective inlets on the tap. The shower hose and head should be connected to the dedicated outlet, and the diverter mechanism needs to be correctly seated. Professional installation is recommended to ensure a watertight seal and correct plumbing.
Compatibility: The tap requires standard UK plumbing connections. It is compatible with most gravity-fed or pumped systems, but performance, particularly of the shower function, will depend on your home's water pressure. For optimal performance, a minimum water pressure is typically recommended (refer to manufacturer specifications if available).
Care: To maintain the chrome finish and white detailing, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface. For limescale build-up, a mild diluted vinegar solution can be used sparingly, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying with a soft cloth.
