Wall Mounted Basin Taps

Wall mounted basin taps are installed directly into the wall rather than the sink or countertop. By concealing all pipework behind the wall, these wall-hung taps create a floating, aesthetic that frees up vanity space . This design not only enhances functionality but also elevates the overall style of your space, making it perfect for lovers of open, contemporary, minimalist, and luxury bathrooms. Crafted from solid brass, our concealed basin mixer collection pairs perfectly with countertop vessel sinks, delivering a high-end, hotel-inspired finish that is also incredibly easy to clean.

How Do Wall Mounted Basin Taps Save Space and Reduce Clutter?

Yes, Wall mounted basin taps save space by removing the tap base from the basin or countertop entirely. This maximises usable surface area around vessel basins, giving you more room for toiletries, décor, and everyday essentials.

Because the tap body is concealed within the wall, there are fewer exposed surfaces around the sink, which helps reduce limescale build-up and creates a cleaner, more organised vanity area compared to deck-mounted taps.

What Is the Difference Between Wall Mounted and Deck Mounted Taps?

The primary difference is where the tap is installed. Deck mounted taps are fixed through holes in the basin or countertop, while wall mounted basin mixers are installed into the wall cavity using a concealed valve. While deck taps are simpler to retrofit, wall-mounted versions are the "gold standard" for luxury renovations and modern countertop vessel bowls.

What Are the Benefits of Choosing Wall Mounted Basin Taps?

Choosing a wall mounted basin tap system offers both aesthetic and practical advantages:

Ideal for Vessel Basins: Wall mounted basin taps do not rely on tap holes, making them perfectly suited to countertop vessel basins of any height.

Flexible Installation Height: The spout can be positioned at the ideal height for your basin, helping to reduce splashing and improve everyday comfort.

Smooth, Drip-Free Operation: Advanced ceramic disc technology ensures consistent water flow, quiet operation, and long-term leak resistance.

What Features Make Our Wall Mounted Taps Ideal for Your Renovation?

At Royal Bathrooms, we understand that behind-the-wall plumbing requires the highest standards of engineering:

  • High-Grade Concealed Valves: Our kits include heavy-duty brass valves designed for long-term durability inside your wall cavity.

  • Varied Spout Projections: Whether you have a shallow sink or a deep bowl, we offer different lengths to ensure water lands perfectly in the centre of the basin.

  • On-Trend Finishes: Select from matte black wall taps, brushed brass, or classic polished chrome to match your hardware.

What Is the Correct Height to Install Wall Mounted Basin Taps?

To ensure a comfortable, splash-free wash, we recommend following these standard guidelines:

  • Height Above Basin: The spout should typically sit 100mm – 150mm above the rim of the basin.

  • Spout Alignment: Choose a spout length that aligns the water stream with the waste/plug hole of the sink.

  • Mounting Depth: Most concealed valves require a mounting depth of 45mm – 75mm within the wall.

Are Wall Mounted Taps Suitable for Low Pressure Systems?

Most wall hung mixers are designed to work best with a minimum of 0.5 bar (medium pressure). For the best performance, especially with waterfall-style spouts, a high-pressure system (such as a combi-boiler or unvented system) is recommended to ensure a powerful, consistent flow.

Are These Wall Mounted Basin Taps WRAS Approved?

Yes, Most of these wall mounted basin taps are WRAS approved or CE certified, meaning they comply with the UK Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations and are approved for use with UK domestic plumbing systems when installed correctly.
