A mixer tap is essential in any modern bathroom. Whether you're showering, washing your hands, or filling the bath, the right mixer tap provides comfort, ease of use, and a stylish look.

What is a mixer tap and how does it work?

A mixer tap mixes hot and cold water to the desired temperature with a single movement. Instead of two knobs, you use a single lever or rotating handle to control both the temperature and water pressure.

Benefits of a mixer tap

Fast and precise temperature control
Water and energy saving thanks to efficient mixing
Easy to keep clean due to smooth surfaces
Timeless design that suits every bathroom style

Tip: Combine a mixer tap with a water-saving aerator to use up to 40% less water without any loss of comfort.

Types of mixer taps for bathroom, shower and sink

There are different types of mixer taps, each with their own application and appearance.

Washbasin mixer tap

The most common variant. Compact, stylish, and available in countless designs. Think of a matte black basin faucet, a tall version for washbasins, or a wall-mounted mixer for a minimalist look.

Shower mixer tap

A shower mixer controls the temperature of the shower water. Combine it with a black shower set or a built-in shower for a luxurious look.

Bath mixer tap

This version often has an additional spout for filling the bath. Many models have a diverter knob that allows you to easily switch between the hand shower and the bath spout.

Kitchen mixer tap

A mixer tap also offers optimal convenience in the kitchen. Consider models with a pull-out spray head, ideal for rinsing pans or vegetables.

Design and colours: from chrome to black

Nowadays you choose a mixer tap that perfectly matches your bathroom style:
Matte black: modern and cool, excellent to combine with black shower sets
Chrome: timeless and easy to maintain
Brushed nickel or stainless steel look: sleek and durable
Gold or copper: for a warm, luxurious look

In our experience, black mixer taps are particularly popular in modern and industrial bathrooms. They combine beautifully with light tiles and natural materials.

How does the cartridge in a mixer tap work?

The heart of every mixer tap is the cartridge: an internal mechanism with ceramic discs that mix the water.
When you move the lever, the discs rotate over each other and regulate the ratio between hot and cold water.
Thanks to this technology, a modern mixer tap is very wear-resistant and rarely drips.

A quality cartridge can withstand up to 500,000 cycles, which equates to more than 10 years of intensive use.

What to look for when buying a mixer tap?

When choosing a mixer tap, a number of practical and technical points are important:

Mounting method: surface-mounted or flush-mounted
Connection size: standard 3/8 inch or custom size
Control type: lever, rotary knob or sensor
Water saving: eco models can save up to 50% water
Maintenance: lime-resistant coating and smooth finish
Design: matching the rest of your bathroom style

Always check the water pressure in your home before installing a new mixer tap. Too much pressure causes wear and tear; too little pressure affects temperature regulation.

More advice on comfort and energy: also see our page on bathroom heating . Energy-efficient mixer taps ā€“ good for the environment and your wallet.

A modern mixer tap with a cold start function or thermostatic control prevents unnecessary gas consumption.
On average, this will save you up to 30% energy on hot water.

A thermostatic mixer tap automatically keeps the temperature constant ā€“ ideal for families and energy-efficient homes.

Frequently asked questions about a mixer tap

What is the difference between a mixer tap and a thermostatic tap?
A mixer tap manually mixes hot and cold water to the desired temperature. A thermostatic tap automatically maintains a set temperature, providing greater comfort and safety, especially in the shower or for families with children.
How exactly does a mixer tap work?
A mixer tap has a connection for both cold and hot water. The lever controls the ratio. Inside, a ceramic cartridge regulates the flow, ensuring the water mixes smoothly and precisely without dripping or significant temperature fluctuations.
How do you descale a mixer tap?
Unscrew the aerator (the screen) and soak it in white vinegar for about an hour. Rinse well and reassemble. Clean the exterior with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner; avoid abrasive or harsh cleaners to preserve the finish.
What does cold start mean on a mixer tap?
With a cold-start mixer tap, only cold water is dispensed in the middle position. This prevents the boiler from running unnecessarily, reducing your energy consumption. This can significantly reduce your gas consumption for hot water during daily use.
