Switch off the water supply to the sink, open the tap to release residual pressure, disconnect the flexible hoses, use a wrench or basin spanner to loosen the mounting nut(s) beneath, remove the old tap, clean the surface, place the new tap’s gasket or seal, position the tap, tighten the nut(s) evenly, reconnect water lines, then turn water back on and check for leaks.

To install a sink tap: measure and confirm the hole size in the sink or bench, insert the tap into the hole using the provided rubber or silicone gasket or seal, tighten the mounting nut from below (ensuring the tap is properly aligned), attach the hot and cold water supply lines (using plumber’s tape if required), and bleed any air from the lines before testing flow and checking for leaks.

Not always. Many taps use standard connections (such as ½" BSP for water lines), but compatibility depends on factors like hole size, deck thickness, and inner plumbing dimensions. Always verify the tap’s specifications and your sink or bench’s configuration before selecting a tap.

The spout should typically extend above the sink bowl by 100–150 mm (measured from the waste outlet or sink rim) to allow ease of use with pots, pans and general washing without excessive splashing. Be sure to adjust based on sink depth and spout reach.

A wobbly tap usually means the mounting nut underneath is loose. Access the nut, hold the tap steady, and retighten the nut. If the bolt hole is worn, use new washers or a tap tightening kit to restore grip before retightening.

Typical tools include an adjustable wrench, basin spanner, plumber’s tape (PTFE), a soft cloth, and sometimes an allen key or plastic wrench provided with the tap. A flashlight and small mirror also help for tight access under sinks.

Wipe down regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which may harm finishes like chrome, black PVD or brushed brass. Rinse, dry after cleaning, and periodically check for mineral buildup and remove with gentle agents if needed.

Yes, if your sink or bench hole and mounting system support it. Pull-out and pull-down mixers require additional clearance for the hose to retract and may need a deeper sink bowl to avoid obstruction. Always check the product dimensions and hose travel before installing.
