This selection brings together 10 wall-mounted kitchen taps, from the Black Wall-Mounted Kitchen Mixer Tap at €39.90 to the Wall-Mounted Kitchen Mixer Tap, Quality Silicone to €149.90. All 10 product pages state a 1/2 inch connection; 5 pages give stainless steel as the material, 4 give brass. A wall-mounted kitchen tap is fixed to the wall, above the sink: the worktop stays clear and the edge of the sink can be cleaned with one wipe of a sponge.
To see all the models that sit on the sink or on the worktop, browse our kitchen taps and fittings, the parent page of this selection. To compare with other styles, you can also see our collection of Kitchen Mixer Taps.

Single handle and swivel spout
On a wall-mounted kitchen mixer tap, a single handle (a lever) sets both the flow and the temperature: this is the case, according to their product pages, for the Black Wall-Mounted Kitchen Mixer Tap, the Flex Wall-Mounted Kitchen Mixer Tap and the Swivel Wall-Mounted Kitchen Tap. The classic wall-mounted two-handle mixer is also part of our kitchen tapware. The swivel spout of a wall-mounted kitchen tap swings from one bowl to the other; a long spout or an articulated arm reaches the centre of a deep sink. For a chrome wall-mounted tap, expect from €39.90 (chrome finish of the Stainless Steel Kitchen Mixer Tap) to €149.90.
Wall mounting: 1 hole or 2 holes
A wall-mounted kitchen mixer tap connects to the water supplies coming out of the wall, above the sink. On the product pages, 4 models are given as wall-mounted on 1 hole and 2 as wall-mounted on 2 holes (separate hot and cold supplies, as on a classic wall-mounted two-handle mixer). Check this on the product page before ordering: it determines the plumbing work needed. Four pages state a single-hole or 2-hole installation without specifying the wall: read the photo and the product description before choosing.
Wall-mounted tap or sink-mounted tap: which to choose?
- Wall-mounted tap: wall-mounted tapware frees up the back of the sink, and the worktop and splashback can be cleaned without working around the foot of the tap. It suits a sink against a wall and small kitchens.
- Sink-mounted tap: it fits in the hole of the sink or worktop, without touching the wall. It is the simplest choice in a renovation when the water supplies come out under the sink. See our selection of sink tap.
- Sink under a window: a fold-down kitchen tap folds down to let the casement open; several wall-mounted folding models are among them.
Which wall-mounted kitchen mixer tap should you choose?
- For a small budget: the Black Wall-Mounted Kitchen Mixer Tap or the Stainless Steel Kitchen Mixer Tap, at €39.90.
- For rinsing dishes: the Wall-Mounted Kitchen Mixer Tap with Pull-Out Spray (€98.90); for other models with a spray, see our kitchen taps with pull-out spray.
- For a long spout reach: the Wall-Mounted Kitchen Mixer Tap with Arm (€109.90) and its articulated arm, or a flexible spout you can aim by hand.
- For a black kitchen: the Black Wall-Mounted Kitchen Mixer Tap, the model with an arm or the black Flex; the whole range is on our page black kitchen tap.
The height of the spout above the sink and its length matter as much as the design: a spout that is too short splashes the edge of the sink, one that is too high splashes the bottom. Measure the distance between the wall and the centre of the bowl before choosing.
Fitting a wall-mounted kitchen tap
A wall-mounted kitchen tap is fitted, as a wall-mounted installation, on water supplies built into the wall, at the right height and the right centre distance. On a wall where water already arrives, replacing one wall-mounted mixer tap with another is within reach of a DIYer: turn off the water, unscrew the old one, fit the seal and connectors of the new one, check for leaks. Creating water supplies in the wall, on the other hand, calls for plumbing work. Our guide is it hard to change a kitchen mixer tap? covers the replacement, and taking a kitchen tap apart the removal step.
Frequently asked questions about wall-mounted kitchen taps
What are the drawbacks of a wall-mounted tap?
It needs water supplies in the wall: if they come out under the sink, building work is needed. The spout must also be long enough to reach the centre of the bowl, and the connections are reached through the wall, not through the sink unit.
What are the different types of kitchen taps?
The sink-mounted tap (single-hole), the wall-mounted tap, the fold-down tap for a sink under a window and the pull-out spray tap. Our article how to choose the right kitchen mixer tap compares them.
Why does the tap keep running after it is turned off?
On a mixer tap, it is most often the cartridge or a worn seal. Before changing the tap, read our guide changing a kitchen tap seal.
How much does a wall-mounted kitchen tap cost?
In this selection, a wall-mounted kitchen tap costs from €39.90 for a simple wall-mounted mixer tap up to €149.90. Half of the models are €69.90 or less.
