FAQs

What is the finish of the Bristan Regency Bath Pillar Taps?

The taps have a chrome finish, plated to BS EN 248 standards for durability and shine.

What size are the connections for these taps?

They feature standard 3/4" connections suitable for typical bath plumbing.

Are these taps suitable for a modern bathroom?

The Bristan Regency taps are designed with traditional styling, making them ideal for classic or period bathrooms rather than modern, minimalist designs.

Do these taps come with a shower diverter?

No, these are pillar taps designed solely for the bath. A separate bath shower mixer would be required if you need a shower function.

What material are the taps made from?

The taps are constructed from brass, ensuring a robust and long-lasting build.

How should I clean and maintain the chrome finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.

Are these taps sold individually or as a pair?

They are sold as a pair, providing both hot and cold water taps.

Troubleshooting

Tap is dripping when turned off

This usually indicates a worn internal valve or washer. The internal ceramic disc or traditional washer may need replacing. Consult a plumber or refer to specific maintenance guides for the Regency model.

Low water pressure from the tap

Check the aerator (if present) for debris and clean it. Ensure the main water supply valves are fully open. There might be an obstruction in the pipework or the 3/4" inlet.

Difficulty turning the tap handle

The internal valve mechanism might be stiff due to limescale buildup or lack of lubrication. Try gently cleaning the handle area. If persistent, internal servicing might be required.

Water leaks from the base of the tap

Ensure the fixing nut or compression fitting at the base is tight. The seal between the tap and the bath/wall may need replacing.
