Product Information

Full details

The RAK Ceramics Portofino Deck Mounted 4 Tap Hole Bath Shower Mixer Tap in Silver (Chrome) is designed for the discerning DIY enthusiast looking to elevate their bathroom with a statement piece. Its key benefit is the seamless integration of bath filling and shower functions with sophisticated British design and durable brass construction. A potential caveat is the requirement for a 4-hole deck configuration, which may limit installation options in existing setups. This tap features a robust solid brass build, a polished chrome finish for durability and easy cleaning, and a unique 4-hole design for independent control over water flow and temperature, including a versatile shower handset.

What is the guarantee period for this product?

Can I use this tap if my bathroom only has 2 tap holes?

No, this tap specifically requires a 4-tap hole configuration in the deck for installation and proper function.

How do I clean and maintain the chrome finish?

Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Use a mild soap solution for tougher marks, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth.

Troubleshooting

Tap is not dispensing water

Check that the main water supply valves are open. Ensure there are no kinks or blockages in the flexible hoses connected to the tap. Verify that the water supply lines are correctly connected.

Low water pressure from the spout or showerhead

Check your home's main water pressure. Clean any aerators or showerhead nozzles, as they can become clogged with limescale. Ensure the isolation valves under the deck are fully open.

Difficulty controlling water temperature

Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are connected correctly to the respective inlets. If the issue persists, the internal valve mechanism may require inspection or professional servicing.

Leaking from the base of the tap

Check that the tap is securely tightened to the deck and that the seals are properly seated. If leaking continues, the internal seals may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a deck-mounted tap, meaning it is installed directly onto the edge of the bathtub or a suitable mounting surface. It requires a 4-hole configuration in your deck. Ensure all necessary plumbing connections for hot and cold water supply, as well as the shower hose, are accessible beneath the deck. Professional installation is recommended due to the 4-hole requirement and the need for secure plumbing.

Compatibility: This tap is designed for standard UK plumbing systems. Ensure your water pressure is adequate for optimal performance. The tap requires a waste fitting, which is not included and must be purchased separately. Verify the dimensions (220mm x 220mm) fit your intended installation space.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, regularly clean the tap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying with a soft cloth. Periodically check all connections for leaks.
