Make a dramatic statement with freestanding bath taps — floor-mounted taps designed specifically for freestanding baths. With pipework running through the floor rather than the bath or wall, freestanding taps create a sculptural, luxury look that perfectly complements a roll top or contemporary freestanding bath. Available in bath filler and bath shower mixer configurations, in a range of premium finishes.
Types of Freestanding Bath Tap
- Freestanding Bath Fillers — fill-only taps for use where a separate shower is installed elsewhere in the bathroom
- Freestanding Bath Shower Mixers — include a handheld shower attachment via a diverter, for rinsing and showering from the bath
Available Finishes
- Chrome — timeless and easy to maintain
- Matt Black — bold and contemporary
- Brushed Brass — warm and luxurious
- Brushed Nickel — cool-toned and sophisticated
Things to Check Before Buying
- Floor pipework — supply pipes must run through the floor; this needs to be planned before tiling. Freestanding taps cannot be retrofitted easily once floors are finished
- Pipe centres — confirm the hot and cold inlet spacing on the tap matches your floor pipework layout
- Spout reach — ensure the tap spout reach and height suit your bath size and shape; check the product specification
- Water pressure — check the minimum pressure rating; most freestanding taps require at least 0.5 bar

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a freestanding bath tap with any freestanding bath?
Not necessarily — you need to check that the tap's spout reach and height are compatible with your specific bath. A tap positioned too close or too far from the bath edge will look and function poorly. Always check the product specification and, if in doubt, contact us before ordering.
Do I need a plumber to install a freestanding bath tap?
Yes — freestanding bath taps require floor pipework to be installed before tiling, which is best planned at the early stages of a bathroom renovation. We strongly recommend using a qualified plumber for installation to ensure correct pipe centres and a watertight finish.
What is the difference between a bath filler and a bath shower mixer?
A bath filler fills the bath only — there is no shower function. A bath shower mixer includes a diverter and handheld shower attachment, allowing you to switch between filling the bath and using the shower head for rinsing. If you don't have a separate shower in the bathroom, a bath shower mixer is the more practical choice.
