Bath Shower Mixers

Bath shower mixers are multi-functional taps that combine a standard bath filler with a handheld shower attachment, allowing you to switch water flow between the spout and the shower head via a diverter valve. This dual-purpose design is the ideal solution for family bathrooms, providing the luxury of a deep soak along with the convenience of a shower for washing hair or rinsing the bathtub. Crafted from solid brass, our bath shower mixer taps are available in chrome, matte black, and brushed brass finishes to complement your bathroom aesthetics.

How Does a Bath Shower Mixer Tap Work?

A bath shower mixer operates by blending hot and cold water within a single chamber, just like a standard filler. However, it features an integrated diverter valve (usually a pull-lever or button). When engaged, the diverter redirects the blended water from the main spout to the flexible hose and handheld shower head. This functionality is perfect for:

  • Effortless Hair Washing: Easily rinse your hair without having to submerge your head or use a separate shower enclosure.

  • Simplified Cleaning: The reach of the handheld shower hose makes it easy to rinse down the sides of the bathtub after use.

  • Bathing Children and Pets: The controlled flow of the handset provides a gentle and precise way to bathe toddlers or pets safely.

What is the Difference Between a Bath Filler and a Bath Shower Mixer?

While both fixtures mix hot and cold water through a single spout, a bath filler is designed exclusively for filling the tub. A bath shower mixer offers the added utility of a shower kit. If your bathroom lacks a separate shower cubicle, or if you want the added convenience of a handset for cleaning and rinsing, a shower mixer is the more practical and versatile investment.

What Mounting Styles Are Available for Bath Shower Mixers?

At Royal Bathrooms, we offer shower mixers to suit every plumbing configuration. Currently, we have deck-mounted bath shower mixers available in a variety of designs These are designed to directly fit onto the rim of the bath. They are the most popular choice for standard UK bathtubs. 

What Features Make Our Bath Shower Mixers a Reliable Choice?

We prioritise long-term performance through precision engineering and high-quality materials:

  • Solid Brass Construction: Every mixer is cast from lead-free brass to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion.

  • Advanced Ceramic Discs: We use ceramic disc technology to provide a smooth, drip-free operation and easy quarter-turn control.

  • WRAS Approved Quality: Our taps are WRAS approved, ensuring they meet the highest UK safety and water regulation standards for your peace of mind.

  • Luxury Finishes: Available in high-shine chrome, contemporary matte black, and sophisticated brushed brass to match your bathroom's design theme.

Are Bath Shower Mixers Suitable for Low Water Pressure?

Many of our traditional bath shower mixers are engineered to work effectively on low-pressure (gravity-fed) systems. However, for a powerful spray from the handheld shower head, a medium-to-high pressure system (0.5 bar or above) is generally recommended. If you have a combi-boiler or an unvented system, you will enjoy a high-performance flow from both the spout and the handset.
