Bath Taps for Modern & Traditional Bathrooms
Floor standing bath shower mixer taps are a striking choice for modern and classic bathrooms, designed to pair perfectly with freestanding baths. Combining a bath filler, temperature controls, and a handheld shower in one complete unit, these taps offer both practical functionality and a strong visual presence. They are mounted directly to the floor and feed a freestanding bath independently of walls or bath rims.
Floor standing taps create a clean, architectural look while offering practical functionality with an integrated handset and hose. These taps are specifically built for baths positioned away from walls. Pipework runs up through the floor, allowing full flexibility in placement and a clean, uncluttered look.

FAQs - Floor Standing Bath Shower Mixers
Are floor standing bath taps practical or just for design?
They offer both style and functionality. While they are often chosen for their visual impact, the built-in shower handset makes them practical for everyday use, including rinsing the bath or washing hair.
Do these taps require special installation?
Yes. Floor standing taps require pipework to be run beneath the floor, so they are usually installed during a new build or full bathroom renovation. Retrofitting into an existing bathroom is possible, but may involve lifting flooring or tiles to access pipework.
Will a floor standing tap work with my water pressure?
Most models require moderate to high water pressure to perform properly, especially when using the shower handset. If your home has a low-pressure system, a pump may be needed to achieve good flow and performance.
Do floor standing taps take up more space?
They do require some floor space beside the bath, so it is important to allow for positioning during planning. However, they also free up the bath edge and surrounding walls, helping create a cleaner overall layout.
