They’re as easy to install as any basin tap....i.e. not very. But they’re no worse. We’ve had two sets of these. The first I installed in our downstairs cloakroom on a small cloakroom basin. The first time I’d done this job. I ended up buying two types of basin spanners (the fixed type and the ones with toothed claw which self adjusts). It was a horrible horrible job as clearance on the basin was so tight. Not a fault of this product hence the score, but be warned! Only other niggle was that first set arrived with a small but obvious nick in the chrome on top. Had to replace but desertcart made this easy. I fitted the second set on a normal sized bathroom basin. With the right tools already in the toolbox and a little experience it went very smoothly. The taps are usual Bristan quality (we have replaced all our taps gradually and now have Bristan throughout. Only the kitchen mixer is slightly suspect with green corrosion forming at the swivel point, but we do have very hard water). Brass threads and nuts mean you can tighten these up easily and confidently. I was able to reuse the existing olives when fitting the basin taps. No leak issues. The washers between tap base and basin top are a decent thickness so these sit well. We have a modern Bristan mixer on another basin and the washer on that is not adequate). Cartridge operation means these are nice to use. Our original taps had very little use (its a little used bathroom) but had leather washers which disintegrated alongside the tap washers, did not feel nice to use and leaked green corrosion even if not used. They were so bad that we’d ended up going to our ensuite to wash our hands even if using the other bathroom just to avoid using those taps. So having these is a transformation. Let’s hope they last a while. The cloakroom ones have been in for about 18 months and are still perfect. Review: Good taps - Good taps. Takes a while to remember on/off direction!

As already said by others Bath tap connections are usually 3/4 " but a good plumber will probably get round that **Q: hello. do these taps contain the new valve type, included in models make after 2006? thanks. philip** A: Not in 2014, as the producer then said. Now it's 2022 and yes, they are ceramic valves with 1/4 turn open/close. Same look, modern functions. **Q: Are these second hand of what?** A: Not sure I understand the question. Are these second hand - no they are brand new and were easy to fit. One criticism of the taps are that the centre ceramic hot/cold on the top of the taps often come unglued. Seems to be a feature of these taps as I have the larger version on the bath and they do the same thing. **Q: Replacement - swivel middle faucet outlet and cap ?** A: I think so ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our second set.

Takes a while to remember on/off direction! Easy to fit x ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great taps, great price, odd operation *by E***O on 28 October 2025* Great price for these elegant taps. Good quality on first inspection. The only oddity is that the hot tap is a clockwise "on" rotation. The cold is normal anticlockwise "on". They replaced an exiting identical tap set which were both clockwise "on". Why the updated rotation is an improvement will be an eternal mystery. They also come with a 10 year Bristan warranty which has to be registered on-line. Of course the online registration has very poor functionality, which seems to be yet another benefit of everything going on-line. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bristan N 1/2 C CD 1901 Basin Pillar Taps, Chrome - Bristan N 3/4 C CD 1901 Bath Pillar Taps - Chrome - Bristan WBASIN01C Traditional Basin Waste with Porcelain Plug for Basins with Overflow --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/50775809-bristan-1901-basin-pillar-taps-with-crosshead-handles-single-flow](https://www.desertcart.it/products/50775809-bristan-1901-basin-pillar-taps-with-crosshead-handles-single-flow) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
