What Types of Faucets Are Commonly Used in Bathrooms?

Posted on August 14, 2025

Bathroom faucets from Gravity Bath are more than just taps; they are little design statements you use every single day. From classic pillar cocks to sleek basin mixers, each one blends smart engineering with beautiful design, so your bathroom feels stylish, functional and built around you.

Why Bathroom Faucets Are a Must‑Have

Think about how often you use your bathroom faucet. Morning rush, evening wind‑down, quick handwash in between, it’s one of the most used items in your home.

The right faucet doesn’t just make washing up easier; it sets the tone for your bathroom. A chic wall-mounted mixer can make a vanity look instantly more refined. A pillar cock in the guest bathroom can add a simple, polished touch. And with today’s designs offering water‑saving aerators and smooth‑turn handles, they don’t just look good, they help you live better.

What Real Customers Are Saying

"When we renovated, we chose a Gravity Bath wall‑mounted mixer and honestly, it’s one of my favourite parts of the bathroom. It looks so clean and minimal, the water flow is just right and the kids find it super easy to use. The installation was fuss‑free too, a big relief!"

Choosing a bathroom faucet is all about finding the right match for your sink, your style and how you use your space. Here are the most common types and why people love them:

Pillar Cock

A timeless favourite. Pillar cocks are single‑spout taps that work beautifully in almost any setting. Simple, dependable and easy to install, they are perfect for guest washrooms or everyday use. Gravity Bath’s versions are made from solid brass with protective finishes that keep their shine for years.

Basin Mixer

If you like having perfect‑temperature water without fiddling with two separate taps, a basin mixer is your best friend. It blends hot and cold water seamlessly and with smooth-glide levers and water-saving aerators, it’s as practical as it is sleek.

Table Mounted

Mounted directly on your basin deck or countertop, table-mounted faucets create a clean, integrated look. Great for modern vanities, they deliver drip‑free performance thanks to reliable ceramic disc cartridges.

Wall Mounted

Ideal for keeping your countertop clutter‑free, wall-mounted faucets bring a streamlined elegance to any bathroom. They are especially striking when paired with designer sinks. Ours come in both polished chrome and matte finishes to suit different interiors.

Health Faucets

Not for basins, but essential for toilets. Health faucets offer personal hygiene, quick cleaning and convenience in one. Ours feature anti‑bacterial nozzles and comfortable grips for daily ease of use.
