Bath Taps & Mixer Taps South Africa

From bath taps and basin mixers to garden taps on an outside wall, every building needs taps that work reliably and suit the space. Choosing between pillar taps, mixers and finishes takes time, and prices vary widely. Send us your list and we pass it to an independent plumbing supplier near you. They quote you directly on the taps and fittings you need, free and with no obligation, whether you need one tap or a hundred.

Bath taps, basin taps and shower mixers

Bathroom taps come in several styles:

Pillar taps: separate hot and cold taps, a classic and affordable option
Mixer taps: one spout blending hot and cold, with single-lever or two-handle control
Taps for basin: deck-mounted or wall-mounted, in standard or tall versions for countertop basins
Shower mixer taps: exposed or concealed mixers, with or without a diverter to a hand shower

Finishes include chrome, brushed steel and the increasingly popular black taps for bathroom makeovers.

Kitchen mixer taps and utility taps

Kitchen mixer taps range from simple single-lever models to high-arc and pull-out spray designs. For utility points, suppliers can quote on washing machine taps, angle valves, and brass or plastic garden taps for outdoor use.

SABS and JASWIC approved taps

Many municipalities expect water installation components to appear on the JASWIC (Joint Acceptance Scheme for Water Installation Components) approved list, and products may also carry an SABS mark. Approved taps help with compliance and certificate inspections, so ask your supplier to confirm approval in the quote. Price otherwise depends on brand, material, finish, cartridge type and quantity.

Choosing taps for your space

Start with the fixture. Bath taps can be deck-mounted on the bath rim or wall-mounted, and you need to know the number of tap holes before choosing. Basin taps must reach the centre of the bowl without splashing. Taps for shower installations depend on whether pipes are concealed in the wall or exposed.

Ceramic disc cartridges generally last longer and drip less than older washer-type valves. Water-saving aerators and flow limiters, available on many basin and kitchen models, help reduce consumption, which matters for schools, offices and complexes paying for every kilolitre. For commercial washrooms, push, sensor and elbow-action taps cut waste and improve hygiene. Pillar taps remain a practical, affordable choice for replacements where the existing tap holes must be reused.

Comparing taps and mixers quotes

Prices for plumbing materials move with brand, specification and quantity. When quotes arrive, check:

Specification: sizes, pressure class or rating, and that items carry SABS or JASWIC approval where your municipality expects it.
Stock and lead time: whether everything is in stock or some lines must be ordered in.
Delivery: the delivery charge and minimum order for your site, or the branch where you can collect.
Trade terms: bulk discounts, account options and the returns policy for unused stock.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need JASWIC approved taps?

Many municipalities expect approved components, and a plumber issuing a Certificate of Compliance may check. Ask the supplier to confirm approval status in your quote.

Will a mixer tap work with my water pressure?

Some mixers are designed for high-pressure systems and others for low pressure. Mention your geyser type and water pressure in your request so the supplier can advise.

Can I order taps in bulk for a project?

Yes. Contractors and facilities managers often order matching taps for many units. List each tap type, finish and quantity so the supplier can quote one price.
