Taps By Style & Color

Browse Taps by Style and Colour at Bathroom Republic

This collection brings together 195 bathroom and kitchen taps organised by visual style and finish rather than by function or fitting type. Whether you are sourcing taps to match existing fittings, completing a colour scheme, or choosing a finish for a new build or renovation, this section lets you compare styles across basin taps, bath taps and kitchen taps side by side. Each sub-collection covers multiple tap formats in that finish, so you can find a coordinated set for the whole bathroom from one place.

How to Choose a Tap Finish

Tap finishes fall into two broad groups: electroplated coatings (chrome, nickel, copper) and PVD coatings (matt black, brushed brass, brushed gold). Chrome is the most widely available finish and simple to clean, though it shows water spots more readily than matt or brushed surfaces. Brushed finishes hide fingerprints and light surface marks better than polished alternatives, and suit bathrooms with warmer or more industrial schemes. Matt black is one of the strongest trending finishes in UK bathrooms and creates a sharp contrast against white sanitaryware. When coordinating tap finishes across a bathroom — for example, pairing a brushed brass basin tap with brushed brass cabinet handles and towel rings — buy all fittings from the same manufacturer range where possible, as brushed brass tones vary noticeably between brands.
