187 kitchen taps from €29.90 to €374.90
The selection brings together all our kitchen taps: 187 models for the sink, for the worktop or fixed to the wall. The cheapest is the Black Wall-Mounted Kitchen Tap at €29.90, the most expensive, depending on the finish, up to €374.90: the High-arc fold-down wall-mounted kitchen tap for filling pans in a gold finish. Half the models start between €75.90 and €137.90, around a median price of €89.90.
To choose, three questions are enough: where the tap is fitted (on the sink or on the wall), which spout and which spray you need, and which finish goes with your kitchen. As for connections, the sheet for 120 of the 187 taps states a 1/2-inch connection and the sheet for 20 models a 3/8 connection: compare with your water inlets under the sink.
The same logic applies to the bathroom: see our bathroom taps, from the basin to the bath.
Kitchen mixer taps for the sink
The most common shape: a single-lever mixer tap fitted on the sink or worktop, which controls flow and temperature with one hand. Our kitchen mixer taps range from the Small Kitchen Mixer Tap (€49.90, chrome or black) to the Designer Kitchen Mixer Tap, Rotating Spout (€169.90), by way of the Contemporary Kitchen Mixer Tap and the Kitchen Mixer Tap, Ergonomic Lever at €69.90. For a model designed first and foremost for the sink bowl, see our range of sink taps.
High spout, U-shaped spout, swan neck: the shape of the spout
The spout determines the space under the tap. A high or swan-neck spout lets a large saucepan through; a low spout splashes less on a shallow sink.
- Gooseneck: ten models, including the Swan neck kitchen tap with pull-out spray, black, steel or chrome (€51.90 to €73.90) and the Chrome 2-hole swan neck kitchen tap with cross handles (€57.90). They are gathered on the page swan neck tap.
- U-shaped or square spout: straight lines, in the spirit of Italian design, with the Brushed stainless steel kitchen tap with 360° swivel U-spout (€45.90) or the Square right-angle spout kitchen tap, three finishes (€63.90 to €64.90).
- Swivel spout: it serves both bowls of a double sink; the swivel angle is given on each model's sheet.
Kitchen taps with pull-out spray
More than one tap in three has a spray: pull-out, spring-loaded or side-mounted. It is used to rinse vegetables, pans and the bottom of the sink, often with two spray modes. Examples: Kitchen Tap with Spray and 2 Spray Modes (€114.90), Kitchen tap with 4 spray modes and 360° swivel (€61.90 to €67.90), Professional spring kitchen tap with spray (€89.90 to €99.90). All of them are gathered in our kitchen taps with pull-out spray.
Wall-mounted and fold-down kitchen taps
A tap fixed to the wall frees up the worktop and makes it easier to clean around the sink. Nearly fifty models are wall-mounted, from the Black Wall-Mounted Kitchen Tap at €29.90 to the Fold-down wall-mounted kitchen tap with 27 cm double joint (€295.90 to €323.90). See our wall-mounted taps collection. In front of a window above the sink, a model that folds down avoids blocking the casement: these are our fold-down kitchen taps. The single-lever models fixed to the wall also have their own page: wall-mounted mixer tap for the kitchen.
3-way taps and filtered water
About a dozen models have a separate filtered water outlet or a second filter spout: the Gold 3-way kitchen tap with filtered water outlet (€88.90), the 3-way kitchen tap with separate filtered water outlet, black or steel (€99.90 to €119.90) or the 3-in-1 kitchen tap with pull-out spray and filtered water (€115.90 to €116.90). The sheet for each model says what is supplied and how it is connected under the sink. Filters and spray heads that fit onto an existing tap are kept with our kitchen sink accessories.
Which finish for a kitchen tap?
Match the finish to what surrounds the sink: cabinet handles, appliances, worktop colour. A black or gold tap stands out; a chrome or stainless steel one blends in.
Which kitchen tap should you choose?
- For a small budget: the models from €29.90 to €49.90, black wall-mounted, flexible spout or small mixer tap.
- For everyday washing-up: a mixer tap with pull-out spray, with two spray modes.
- For a sink under a window: a fold-down or wall-mounted tap.
- For a large saucepan: a high, U-shaped or swan-neck spout.
- For filtered water from the tap: a 3-way model.
- For an older kitchen: a model with cross handles or in aged brass.
Fitting and replacing a kitchen tap
Turn off the water under the sink, open the tap to release the pressure, disconnect the hoses, then unscrew the fixing nut under the sink bowl. Check the number of holes in your sink (one hole for a mixer tap, two for a model with cross handles) and the space under the sink before ordering. Our guide is it hard to change a kitchen mixer tap? goes through each step and the tools you will need. If your tap leaks at the base or from the top, our article on repairing a leaking kitchen tap explains how to change the seal, and taking a kitchen tap apart is covered step by step in another guide.
For maintenance, a soft cloth and soapy water are enough. Against limescale, unscrew the end of the spout from time to time and leave it to soak in white vinegar. A badly scaled end piece can be replaced: our tap aerators and end pieces screw onto the end of the spout, from €9.90 to €24.90.
Frequently asked questions about kitchen taps
What type of tap should you choose for your kitchen?
A single-lever mixer tap for everyday use, with a pull-out spray if you rinse often, wall-mounted or fold-down if space is short. Our guide how to choose the right mixer tap for your sink compares the models according to the size of the bowl.
What is the difference between a tap and a kitchen mixer tap?
A mixer tap controls temperature and flow with a single lever. A two-handle or cross-handle tap has one control for hot water and one for cold.
What spout height should you choose?
The deeper the bowl and the bigger your pans, the higher the spout needs to be. On a shallow sink, a spout that is too high splashes. Our article on choosing the height of a mixer tap gives guidelines depending on the sink.
Which kitchen tap for a sink under a window?
A fold-down model, which lies flat when you open the window, or a wall-mounted tap fitted beside it.
What are the parts of a kitchen tap called?
The spout, fixed, swivelling or with a pull-out spray, with the aerator, or end piece, at its tip; the lever of a mixer tap, or the two cross handles of a two-handle tap; the cartridge, in the body, which controls the flow and temperature of a mixer tap; and under the sink, the fixing nut and the supply hoses. The specifications on each sheet state the cartridge and the type of installation.
What tools do you need to change a kitchen tap?
An adjustable spanner or a basin wrench, multi-grip pliers, a screwdriver if the fixing requires it, a bucket for the water left in the hoses and PTFE tape for the connections. Our guide to changing a kitchen mixer tap, mentioned above, goes through each step.
