When choosing the products for your renovation, something as simple as tapware can make a big difference in both the design and price.
Follow our guide below to find which tapware works the best for your vision and your budget!
1. Consider your plumbing layout
The easiest (and most affordable) way to update your bathroom is to keep everything in it's current location and simply upgrade the fixtures. Once you involve relocation of pipework, the price adds up quickly... While amazing results can be achieved, this is not the most budget friendly option.
When upgrading tapware it's important to keep the same style that is compatible with your current plumbing layout. For example, a vanity mounted basin mixer cannot be replaced with a wall mounted mixer, as the plumbing would need to be moved around.
2. What style suits your house?
While you may have an amazing vision for a brand new bathroom, it may be worth considering what style of tapware will match the rest of your home, to keep it cohesive.
There are multiple factors to consider regarding the style of tapware;
Which colour finish?
Which shape?
Which will be easier to match to other items?
You may consider matching your Bathroom fixtures to that of your laundry, kitchen, or even door handles to keep the same theme throughout your entire home.
Some common finishes include:
- Chrome tapware
- Matte Black tapware
- Brushed Nickel tapware
- Brushed Gold tapware
All of which we have available to view in our showroom, or in our catalogues listed here
3. Which functions are necessary to you?
Many of our tapware come with unique features to suit your needs.
One of our most popular items is the Revolution shower, which comes with a self cleaning feature which guarantees to never block!
Another example is our range of pull out kitchen and laundry tapware, or those that swivel to allow for a more extended reach.
While we have multiple budget friendly options for these items, sometimes it is worth paying a bit extra to gain these helpful features that make a noticeable difference to your daily routine.
4. Installation costs
While many people like to try a DIY renovation, something such as tapware can be risky to install yourself.
Seeking the help of a qualified plumber will ensure each item is installed correctly, which may save you money or headaches in the long run.
Budgeting to allow for installation costs is a good idea if you are not confident in your DIY skills.
The best way to save on installation cost is to get the plumber to install everything in one go, which will limit any call out fees and they may even be able to do a discount for multiple items!
