These Bristan Hourglass Basin Taps are designed for modern bathrooms, offering a sleek chrome finish and durable construction. They are ideal for homeowners seeking reliable and stylish basin taps. A potential caveat is that their 1/4 turn ceramic disc valves may require a specific installation approach for optimal performance. Key features include long-life ceramic disc valves, metal back nuts for durability, and Luminance Chrome technology for a lasting shine.

It means the tap only requires a quarter turn of the handle to go from fully off to fully on, which is smoother and more durable than traditional multi-turn taps. The ceramic discs provide a watertight seal.
These taps are generally suitable for standard UK water pressure systems. For very low pressure systems, performance may be reduced, and for very high pressure, a pressure-reducing valve might be advisable, though they are built to robust standards.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching the chrome.
Yes, the ceramic disc cartridges are typically replaceable. You would need to turn off the water supply, disassemble the tap handle and valve assembly, and replace the cartridge with a compatible one.
The Secure Fix guarantee relates to the mounting system of the tap, ensuring it can be installed securely and reliably to the basin or countertop.
Yes, the Bristan Hourglass range includes matching taps and showers, allowing you to create a coordinated look in your bathroom.

This may indicate debris in the ceramic disc valve. Turn off the water supply, remove the valve assembly, and clean it carefully. If the dripping persists, the ceramic disc may need replacement.
Check the aerator for blockages (if applicable) and clean it. Also, ensure the isolation valves under the sink are fully open. There may be an issue with the water supply line or debris within the tap's internal mechanism.
The ceramic disc valve may require lubrication or could be damaged. Turn off the water supply and inspect the valve assembly. If stiffness persists after cleaning, consider replacing the valve cartridge.
Ensure the metal back nuts are securely tightened. Check the integrity of the seals and connections underneath the basin.
