Check for any kinks in the water supply hoses. Ensure the main water supply to the bathroom is fully open. Clean any aerator or showerhead nozzles that may be clogged with limescale.
Tap is leaking from the base or connections.
Ensure all plumbing connections are securely tightened. Check that any rubber seals or washers are correctly in place and not damaged. If the leak persists, contact a qualified plumber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a freestanding bath tap, meaning it is not mounted to the wall or the bath itself but stands independently. Proper installation requires a dedicated water supply and drainage connection point on the floor. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified plumber to ensure correct connections and prevent leaks. Ensure all supplied fittings are used and tightened correctly.
Compatibility:
This tap is designed for use with standard UK plumbing systems. Its freestanding nature means it is compatible with most freestanding bathtubs, provided adequate floor space and plumbing access are available.
Care:
To maintain the polished chrome finish, regularly clean the tap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with clean water and a buff dry with a soft cloth. Periodically check all connections for signs of wear or leakage.
