Hot & Cold Mixer Kitchen Taps

A hot and cold kitchen tap, also called a mixer tap or monobloc tap, blends hot and cold water through a single spout and a single or dual control. This is the most common type of kitchen tap in the UK and replaces the older two-tap setup with a single, tidier unit. You control temperature and flow rate either by moving one lever or by adjusting two separate handles.

A single lever tap uses one handle to control both temperature and flow rate simultaneously, making it quick and easy to adjust with one hand. A dual lever tap has two separate controls, one for hot and one for cold, giving you more precise temperature management. Single lever taps are generally quicker to use day to day, while dual lever taps are popular in traditional kitchen designs and offer a classic look.

A monobloc tap is a tap that fits through a single hole in the sink or worktop. The hot and cold supplies both connect to the single body of the tap beneath the surface. Most kitchen mixer taps sold today are monobloc, making them straightforward to install and to keep clean around the base. They contrast with bridge taps, which have two visible supply columns and require two holes.

Every product listing on our site includes a minimum bar pressure requirement. Most taps in this collection operate from 0.5 bar, which suits the majority of UK homes with a combi boiler. If you have a gravity-fed system with a cold water tank in the loft, your pressure may be lower, so look for taps rated from 0.2 or 0.3 bar, or consider fitting a pump.

Our hot and cold kitchen taps are available in chrome, brushed nickel, brushed steel, black, matte black, antique brass, brushed brass, gold, pewter, copper, bronze, grey, and white. Chrome is the most hardwearing day to day. Brushed and satin finishes are better at disguising water spots and fingerprints. Brass and antique finishes add warmth and character to traditional or farmhouse-style kitchens.

A pull-out spray tap has a head that detaches from the spout on a flexible hose, allowing you to rinse pans, fill pots off to the side of the sink, or direct water precisely to where you need it. They are particularly useful if you have a wide or deep sink, or if you regularly fill large pasta pots. We stock 47 pull-out spray taps across this collection in a range of finishes. The trade-off is that there is slightly more maintenance involved as the hose needs replacing over time.
