Finishes and price

Chrome is usually the cheapest. Matte black, brushed nickel and gunmetal cost a little more. Keep one finish across the bathroom so it looks planned.

All tapware installed in Australia must be WaterMark certified and WELS rated. See WaterMark and WELS explained.

Common questions

Which tapware finish is easiest to keep clean?

Brushed nickel and brushed brass hide water spots and fingerprints best. Matte black shows white limescale marks in hard water.

Do I need a tall basin mixer?

Only with an above-counter basin. Check the spout reaches over the rim with at least 30 mm to spare.
