Ultra-Compact Design:
The Roper Rhodes Crew mini basin mixer is purpose-designed for the smallest cloakroom basins. With an ultra-compact width of just 48mm and a height of 122mm, this is one of the most space-efficient basin mixers available. The minimal dimensions ensure the tap doesn't overwhelm tiny basins (typically 350-450mm wide) whilst still providing comfortable reach and adequate clearance for handwashing. This thoughtful design makes it the ideal choice for the tightest bathroom spaces.
Technical Advantages:
Ceramic Disc Cartridge Technology: The precision-engineered ceramic disc cartridge provides smooth, effortless operation with a quarter-turn action. Ceramic discs are virtually wear-free, ensuring drip-free performance and long-term reliability. This premium valve technology is far superior to traditional rubber washers that wear out and leak, contributing to the tap's 10-year guarantee.
10-Year Guarantee: The comprehensive 10-year warranty is one of the longest in the industry, demonstrating Roper Rhodes' confidence in product quality and durability. This exceptional guarantee provides peace of mind and represents outstanding value, ensuring your tap will perform reliably for a decade or more.
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.
Perfect For:
- Tiny cloakroom basins (350-450mm width)
- Compact ensuites and powder rooms
- Downstairs WCs with minimal space
- Guest bathrooms and utility rooms
- Caravan and motorhome bathrooms
- Low-pressure water systems (gravity-fed)
- Combination boiler systems
- High-pressure mains systems
- Residential bathroom renovations
- New build developments
- Premium bathroom projects
- Space-conscious bathroom designs
Design & Styling:
The Roper Rhodes Crew mini basin mixer features clean, contemporary lines with a sleek chrome finish that suits modern bathroom styles. The ultra-compact proportions (48mm wide) make it ideal for the smallest basins where even a standard mini tap would appear oversized. The polished chrome finish provides a timeless, versatile look that coordinates with any bathroom colour scheme and complements other chrome fixtures and accessories.
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. Compatible with basin mixer flow aerator EC03 for enhanced water efficiency. Professional installation recommended for optimal performance.
Roper Rhodes Crew Range:
The Crew collection from Roper Rhodes represents British design excellence with contemporary styling and exceptional quality. With an industry-leading 10-year guarantee, Roper Rhodes Crew products offer exceptional peace of mind and demonstrate the manufacturer's confidence in product durability and performance. Coordinate this mini basin mixer with other Crew brassware for a cohesive bathroom aesthetic.
Dimensions Comparison:
At just 48mm wide and 122mm high, the Crew mini basin mixer is significantly more compact than standard basin mixers (typically 55-60mm wide and 140-160mm high). This makes it the perfect choice when:
- Your basin is 400mm wide or smaller
- Space is extremely limited in your cloakroom
- You want the most proportionate aesthetics on a tiny basin
- Even a standard mini tap would overwhelm your basin size
Care & Maintenance:
The polished chrome finish is easy to maintain - simply 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 chrome plating. Regular cleaning maintains the lustrous finish and prevents limescale buildup. The ceramic cartridge requires no maintenance and the brass click waste mechanism requires occasional cleaning to maintain smooth operation.
