Rangemaster Kitchen Taps

Rangemaster are known for sinks, and the taps exist largely to go with them. That is not a criticism. A tap designed alongside the bowl it will stand next to is a sensible thing to buy, and it removes the small ordeal of matching finishes across two manufacturers.

Steel and brass, five years behind both

The range splits between stainless steel and brass, which are the two materials worth having. Both carry the weight that makes a lever feel right and hold a finish properly, which lighter alloys do not manage for long.

Effectively the whole range carries a five-year manufacturer guarantee. That figure covers the part that actually wears, which is not the body or the finish but the ceramic disc cartridge inside the lever, the small assembly that opens and closes the flow. A tap whose cartridge is still smooth after five years is a tap that will keep going.

Modern and traditional, from one maker

Single-lever mixers make up most of the range, in the clean modern shapes that suit almost any contemporary kitchen. Alongside them sit traditional designs including dual-lever bridge taps, where hot and cold arrive through separate handles and meet above the sink.

That second group is more useful than its size suggests, because Rangemaster also make one of the deepest Belfast sink selections available. A traditional bridge tap and a fireclay Belfast from the same maker is about as coherent as a country kitchen gets, and neither half has to be matched to the other by guesswork.

Pairing, and the one thing to check first

The obvious companion is a Rangemaster sink, and the finishes are designed to agree. Nothing obliges you to match, and a deliberate contrast reads perfectly well, but from one maker it is effortless. The rest of what Rangemaster produce sits in one place.

Before the finish and the shape, settle the pressure. Every tap states a minimum operating pressure on its product page, and a gravity-fed system with a tank in the loft will not drive a tap built for mains pressure. If that describes your house, low pressure taps narrows the field first.

For everything else, the full kitchen taps range compares Rangemaster against every other manufacturer we carry.
