We are now shipping our taps and basins to a limited number of countries outside the UK including USA - Unfortunately we cannot ship taps to the EU or Ireland - **For taps please be sure to check your pipe size matches the UK standard 15mm.

**For Basins please check that you can accommodate the standard 1 &1/4 inch basin waste that is supplied**

*Combined shipping* - If you are buying a basin or taps with any other item, please contact us first so we can combine overseas postage

Is this suitable for commercial use?
- No. All of our taps are designed for domestic use only, indoors or outdoors, and are not sold as suitable for commercial premises.

Can this be used as a monobloc tap?
-Unfortunately not - this is a single feed tap which can be either hot or cold feed but not both.

Can I buy a pair of taps?
-Yes. Pairs are available in the Custom Tap Section of our website or select 2 as the quantity at checkout.

Can I order more than the quantity currently shown?
-Yes. We often have more available than shown in the listing, but we limit stock numbers online to help maintain our dispatch times. If you would like a larger quantity, please contact us and we can increase the listing.

Are your taps made to order?
-Yes. All of our taps are made to order with a usual dispatch time of 3–5 working days. If your order is urgent, please contact before purchasing, as earlier dispatch can often be arranged.

Can I return the tap if it is unsuitable?
-.This specific listing is for a custom size made to measure tap which is made specifically to your own measurements therefore it is generally not refundable.

This tap is bespoke size & made to your own specific measurements -  Bespoke items are exempt from The Consumer Act 2015 and Distance Selling Regulations and cannot be returned if you have mis-measured or it is unsuitable.

The measurements available are not suitable for me, can the taps be made any taller? -This style cannot be made any taller as the 15mm copper pipework would not be strong enough. However, we have another style of tap which has 22mm exposed copper pipework meaning it can be made taller. See our Deck Mounted Tap Collection

What size is the tap?
-Please refer to the listing photographs and dimensions section for exact measurements.

Do you sell other copper and brass tap styles?
-Yes. We offer over 20 styles, including single taps, pillar taps, wall-mounted taps, and mixer taps. Please see our complete Tap Collection for the full range.

What size is the water inlet pipework?
-All of our taps have a standard UK 15mm copper mains water inlet pipe below the counter even when the exposed pipe is 22mm as is the case with some of our chunkier taps

Will the 15mm pipework fit if I am buying from outside the UK?
-Our taps are made with standard UK 15mm inlet pipework, so suitability will depend on the plumbing standard in your country. In many cases, where local pipework is a different size, adaptors are available. We recommend checking that a suitable adaptor can be sourced locally if needed, before purchase if you are ordering from outside the UK.

Can this tap be fitted directly into a basin or sink hole?
-No. This tap is designed to be fitted onto a countertop, not into pre-cast basin or sink holes. It is secured from above using the three screws provided rather than a back nut underneath.

Can this tap be used with a bath?
-This tap will fit some baths but be sure to check your mains water supply to the bath is 15mm, some older properties have a different size pipework.

Can this tap be fitted in a camper van or shepherd’s hut?
-Yes. Our taps are often used in camper vans, shepherd’s huts, and horse box conversions. Please note that camper van pipework is often smaller than standard 15mm, so a reducing fitting may be required.

Can this be used outdoors?
-Yes. All of our taps are suitable for outdoor use.

How do I connect the tap to my water inlet?
-The tap is supplied as a complete fitting pre soldered with 15mm copper pipe which fits to your mains water supply below the counter. Your water mains inlet can be connected using soldered, compression, or push-fit fittings.

Can this be fitted to quartz, granite, marble, concrete, or slate worktops?
-We do not recommend fitting to these surfaces. The taps are secured from above with the provided screws into the worktop, not with a back nut underneath so they are best suited to wooden or laminate surfaces.

How do I keep the copper and brass shiny?
-Copper and brass will naturally tarnish over time. To keep them polished, we recommend a quick clean every week or two using Brasso wadding or a similar metal polish. If you prefer a darker, aged patina, simply leave the metal unpolished and it will develop naturally over time.

When will my order arrive?
-Our usual dispatch time is 3–5 working days as each tap is made to order. Orders are normally sent by Royal Mail Tracked 48, or Tracked 24 for urgent orders where agreed.
