Question 1

What are bathroom tap fittings?

Accepted Answer

Bathroom tap fittings are the plumbed outlets in the room: basin taps, bib taps, shower taps and mixers, bidet sprays, bath spouts and the valves behind them. They connect to the water supply, which separates them from bathroom accessories such as towel rails and hooks, which carry no water and are screwed on after the plumbing is finished.

Question 2

Which bathroom taps do I need for a condo bathroom?

Accepted Answer

A typical condo bathroom needs a basin tap, a bidet spray with its angle valve beside the water closet, and either an instant heater with its own hand shower or a shower tap with an arm and head. Add a bath spout only if there is a tub. Buy all of them in one finish so the room reads as one set.

Question 3

Should I choose a cold tap or a mixer tap?

Accepted Answer

Choose a cold tap where there is no hot feed, which in most Malaysian homes is every point except the shower. Choose a mixer only where a storage or multipoint heater supplies hot water to that outlet. A mixer on a cold-only supply is paying for a handle you cannot use.

Question 4

When should I buy the taps in a renovation?

Accepted Answer

Before the plumber's first fix, because the wall outlets are set to suit the tap. Wall-mounted basin taps, concealed shower mixers and bath spouts all need their positions and depths known before the wall is plastered and tiled. Deck-mounted taps and bidet sprays are more forgiving and can be confirmed later.

Question 5

Which tap finish lasts longest in a Malaysian bathroom?

Accepted Answer

Chrome on a brass body is the proven combination for humidity and hard water. Coloured finishes such as matt black, gunmetal and rose gold last well when applied by PVD over brass or stainless steel and less well when painted or thinly plated over alloy. Ask how the finish is applied, and keep abrasive cleaners off all of them.

Question 6

Can I replace a bathroom tap without hacking the tiles?

Accepted Answer

A deck-mounted basin tap or an exposed bib tap can be swapped without touching the wall. A wall-mounted tap or a concealed mixer usually cannot, because the connection is inside the wall. If you are choosing taps for a bathroom you do not plan to re-tile, keep everything exposed or deck-mounted.
