9 gold bathroom taps, from €82.90 to €189.90
A gold bathroom tap is noticed as soon as you walk into the room: it warms up a white marble worktop, a countertop basin or dark tiles. This page only includes models whose main photo is gold, from €82.90 for a waterfall basin mixer tap to €189.90 for a swan-shaped two-handle tap. Gold describes the colour: depending on the data sheet, the body is brass or stainless steel. Seven of the nine data sheets state a 1/2 inch connector.
Gold basin tap
For a gold basin tap, 5 mixer taps from €82.90 to €152.90:
- Gold arched waterfall basin mixer tap, hoses included: €82.90, in 304 stainless steel, brushed finish.
- Brushed Gold Basin Tap: €99.90, a brushed gold finish with clean lines.
- Antique Basin Mixer Tap: €119.90, with a waterfall effect.
- Retro chiselled aged brass basin mixer tap: €149.90, in brass, classic style.
- Gold waterfall basin mixer tap with Z-shaped spout: €152.90, in 304 stainless steel.
The gold arched waterfall mixer tap comes with its hoses, which makes it the easiest model on the page to fit.
Gold tap for a countertop basin
A basin sitting on the worktop needs a taller spout than a built-in basin. 2 models:
- Gold waterfall countertop basin mixer with chalice spout: €113.90, in brass.
- Gold swan-shaped countertop basin mixer tap: €119.90, in 304 stainless steel, polished finish.
Gold bathroom two-handle tap
The Bathroom Mixer Tap - Swan Gold (€189.90) is in polished gold brass. It fits on a basin or countertop basin, with a swan neck spout and two separate controls: it is the most decorative model in the selection.
Gold shower mixer
The Brass Shower Mixer (€84.90) is a wall-mounted brass shower mixer in gold. It lets you match the shower to the basin tap. More shower models are on the page shower mixer.
Mixer tap or two-handle tap: hot and cold water
A mixer tap controls hot and cold water with a single handle: flow and temperature are adjusted in one movement. This is the case with the basin, countertop basin and shower mixer taps on this page. A two-handle tap separates hot and cold water on two controls, like the gold swan two-handle tap: adjustment is slower, the style more classic.
If the gold finish isn't essential, our basin, shower and bath mixer taps also come in chrome or white.
Which gold bathroom tap should you choose?
- For a standard basin: a low mixer tap, such as the arched waterfall mixer tap (€82.90) or the Brushed Gold Basin Tap (€99.90).
- For a countertop basin: a tall model, with a goblet-shaped or swan-shaped spout.
- For an old-style bathroom: the chiselled aged brass retro mixer tap or the antique basin mixer tap.
- For a contemporary bathroom: a waterfall, arched or Z-shaped spout.
- For an entirely gold room: match a gold basin tap with the shower mixer in the same shade.
Also check the height between the spout and the bottom of the basin, and the number of holes in the worktop: the gold swan two-handle tap needs several holes, the mixer taps fit on a single hole.
Brushed gold, polished gold, aged brass: which finish?
- Polished gold: glossy, it reflects the light, as on the gold swan two-handle tap or the swan-shaped countertop basin mixer tap.
- Brushed gold: satin, it shows water and fingerprints less.
- Aged brass: a darker gold with an old-fashioned style. More taps in bare brass are grouped separately.
How do you clean gold tapware?
A soft cloth, lukewarm water and a little soap are enough. Dry the tap after every use to avoid limescale marks, especially on a polished finish. Avoid abrasive sponges, bleach and harsh descaling products, which can dull the shade, and follow the manufacturer's manual.
Are gold taps still fashionable?
Gold tapware remains a safe bet in bathroom decor: in polished gold for a chic atmosphere, in brushed gold for a softer style, in aged brass for a retro spirit. It goes with white, marble, wood and dark colours.
How long does a mixer tap last?
It depends mainly on the cartridge, the hardness of the water and upkeep. A cartridge that leaks or sticks can be replaced without changing the whole tap. Regular descaling of the aerator extends the life of all models.
