Look at the finishes already in your room and choose a tap finish that complements them, Aquari offers chrome, brushed brass, matt black, brushed bronze and pewter. Chrome is versatile and bright, ideal if you have chrome towel rails or shower trims; brushed brass or bronze adds warmth and works well with wood or natural stone; matt black suits a modern, high-contrast scheme. If you have a fluted or textured firniture style, a fluted Contour tap in brass or chrome will echo that detail. For a practical example, pair the Meriden matt black basin mixer with black accessories and a black shower riser for a cohesive contemporary look.

A thermostatic dual head bar mixer, like the Quadro dual head options in bronze or pewter, maintains a set temperature and often supplies two outlets (a hand shower and an overhead), which gives precise, safe control, useful for families or shared bathrooms. Standard bath or basin mixers, such as the Meriden or Chetwode ranges, mix hot and cold at the spout and are simpler and generally less costly. Choose a thermostatic bar mixer if you want constant temperature and dual-outlet convenience; choose a standard mixer for simpler baths or basins where cost and clean lines matter.

Decide based on your bath type and the look you want: wall-mounted mixers (Meriden, Chetwode) suit baths with exposed wall plumbing and give a minimalist look; deck-mounted or 5‑hole style mixers are for baths with a flat rim and offer traditional styling, such as the Meriden 5-hole bath mixer; freestanding mixers with kit, like the Contour freestanding options, are made for standalone baths and create a statement. Freestanding taps need space around the bath and look dramatic, while wall-mounted saves rim space and feels contemporary. If you have a standalone bath, a freestanding Contour with kit is a practical and stylish pick.

Some basin mixers are sold with a waste included like the Leith Chrome Basin Mixer Tap & Waste and several Contour basin mixer listings that specifically state "with Waste" in the product description. Other items are sold with a plate option, such as the Contour Wall Mounted Fluted Basin Mixer Tap with Plate. Check the product title: if it mentions "& Waste" or "with Plate" the item includes those parts; otherwise you should add them separately. For instance, if you want a tidy pop-up waste included, choose the Leith mixer that explicitly bundles it.

Yes. The Aquari Ravi Brushed Brass Pull Out Kitchen Mixer Tap is a single lever model with a pull-out spray for easy rinsing and flexibility at the sink. The brand description highlights water-saving technology and adjustable spray patterns across the range, so you can expect models like the Ravi to offer efficient flow and selectable spray modes. If you regularly rinse large pans or want to conserve water, a pull-out mixer with adjustable spray is a practical choice.
