Frequently Asked Questions
Is this tap suitable for a gravity-fed system?
Yes. The Charaton operates from a minimum of 0.5 bar, making it one of the most low-pressure-friendly basin mixers available. No pump or pressure booster is required.
Does it come with a basin waste?
Yes — a basin waste is included. Please specify slotted or unslotted when ordering.
What hole size does my basin need?
You need a single 35mm diameter hole — the standard size for UK basins.
What does the guarantee cover?
The tap body and chrome finish are covered for 5 years against manufacturing defects, corrosion, and tarnishing. Internal valves and cartridges are covered for 3 years against mechanical failure.
How do I care for the chrome finish?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or acid-based limescale removers, which can damage the plating. In hard water areas, regular wiping prevents limescale build-up.
Can I order if the item shows as out of stock?
Yes — we accept orders even when stock shows as zero. Items are dispatched as soon as stock is replenished. Contact us at customerservice@bubblegumbathrooms.co.uk or call 01603 381095 if you need a lead time estimate.
