Full details
The Hudson Reed Topaz Bath Taps in Black are designed for homeowners seeking a blend of traditional elegance and modern reliability. Their key benefit lies in the smooth, long-lasting operation thanks to ceramic disc technology, suitable for low-pressure systems. A minor consideration is that the waste fitting is sold separately. These taps feature luxury ceramic lever handles, a durable brass construction with a chrome finish, and are engineered for longevity.

How do I clean the taps to maintain their finish?
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scouring pads. Always dry thoroughly.
Can these taps be used with a combi boiler system?

Troubleshooting
Tap is leaking
Check that the ceramic disc cartridges are properly seated and that all connections are secure. If leaking persists, the cartridge may need replacement. Ensure the tap is installed correctly and not over-tightened.
Low water flow
Verify that the system pressure meets the minimum requirement of 0.1 Bar. Check that the aerator (if applicable) is clean and free from debris. Ensure there are no blockages in the pipework or the tap's internal filters. Confirm that the waste fitting is not obstructing the outlet.
Ceramic lever is stiff or difficult to move
The internal ceramic disc mechanism may require lubrication or replacement. This typically occurs due to mineral buildup. Cleaning the internal components or replacing the cartridge should resolve the issue.
Chrome finish is dull or stained
Clean the tap using a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or strong cleaning agents.
