Matt Black Design Trend:
Matt black bathroom fixtures have become the defining trend in contemporary bathroom design, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional chrome. The Roper Rhodes Act mini basin mixer in matt black creates a striking focal point that elevates any cloakroom or compact bathroom. The non-reflective matt finish provides a soft, luxurious appearance whilst being more forgiving of water spots and fingerprints than polished finishes, making it both beautiful and practical for everyday use.
Compact Design Philosophy:
The Roper Rhodes Act mini basin mixer is purpose-designed for compact installations where space is at a premium. At 52mm wide and 131mm high, this tap features reduced dimensions that maintain perfect proportions on small cloakroom basins typically 400-450mm wide. The compact size ensures the tap doesn't dominate the basin whilst still providing comfortable reach and adequate clearance for handwashing.
Technical Advantages:
Low Pressure Compatibility: With a minimum operating pressure of just 0.2 bar, this tap works reliably on all UK plumbing systems including gravity-fed, combination boiler, and mains pressure installations. This universal compatibility makes it suitable for any property type.
Brass Click Waste: The included brass click waste is superior to plastic alternatives, offering greater durability and a quality feel. The click mechanism provides convenient basin drainage control with a simple push-down, push-up operation. The coordinated matt black finish ensures perfect aesthetic integration.
British Design Excellence: Roper Rhodes is a premium British bathroom brand with over 30 years of design excellence. Every product is designed with attention to detail, quality materials, and contemporary styling that stands the test of time.

- Contemporary and modern bathroom schemes
- Industrial-style and urban loft bathrooms
- Minimalist and Scandinavian interiors
- Small cloakroom basins (400-450mm width)
- Compact ensuites and powder rooms
- Downstairs WCs with limited space
- Design-led bathroom projects
- Coordinating with matt black showers and accessories
- Creating bold contrast against white sanitaryware
- Low-pressure water systems (gravity-fed)
- High-pressure mains systems
Design & Styling:
The Roper Rhodes Act mini basin mixer in matt black features clean, contemporary lines that make a strong design statement. The compact proportions make it ideal for small basins where a full-size tap would appear oversized. The matt black finish creates dramatic contrast against white basins and coordinates beautifully with other matt black fixtures, brass accents, concrete surfaces, and geometric tiles.
Colour Coordination:
Matt black taps pair beautifully with:
- White ceramic basins for maximum contrast
- Brushed brass or copper accents for warm luxury
- Concrete or terrazzo surfaces for industrial chic
- Dark timber vanities for sophisticated depth
- Marble with dark veining for contemporary elegance
- Matt black showers, towel rails, and accessories for cohesive schemes
Installation Notes:
Deck mounted installation requires 1 tap hole (standard UK basin configuration). Suitable for small cloakroom basins with single tap hole. Flexible tap connectors included for easy connection to hot and cold water supplies. Brass click waste fits standard UK basin waste outlets. Minimum 0.2 bar pressure required. Professional installation recommended for optimal performance and finish protection.
Roper Rhodes Act Range:
The Act collection from Roper Rhodes represents British design excellence with bold contemporary styling and exceptional quality. Coordinate this mini basin mixer with other Act brassware in matt black for a cohesive bathroom aesthetic. All Act products share the same distinctive design language and quality construction.
Care & Maintenance:
Matt black finishes are easy to maintain and more forgiving than polished chrome. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth after use to prevent water spotting. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that may damage the matt coating. The non-reflective finish naturally conceals minor water marks better than polished finishes. The brass click waste mechanism requires occasional cleaning to maintain smooth operation.

Known for quality, innovation, and contemporary styling, Roper Rhodes products deliver exceptional performance backed by comprehensive guarantees.
