Redoing small downstairs toilet with new tiny sink. Want to make sure the taps are good quality - can anyone suggest a good brand?

Lefroy Brooks or Drummond.

Although, t
hey're a bit 'classic' for what I'm looking for.

Just renovated and have HansGrohne.

Yes, just found some nice Hansgrohe. I think the quality looks good

Came to say Grohe. Just done my bathrooms and plumber described them as "fit and forget".

I think Roca is a good brand too. My previous bathroom was over 20 years old and taps were fine. Could have changed in 20 years though!

Some modern British brands (which have the benefit of working with our crap water pressure):

Crosswater
Justtaps
Arteform

Bristan are old school but reliable.

Make sure the tap projection is tiny to match the tiny sink, or you’ll get splashes everywhere (speaking from experience)

Oh, good advice re: tiny projection!

If you haven't already bought the toilet/sink, and if space is at a premium, have you considered a sink/toilet combo?

Wow, never seen that before. I don't think that's for me...

We actually have the toilet there - we're updating rather than starting from fresh.

It was just something else to consider. Is the sink already insitu too? If not, a corner sink or slimline wall style can also save space.
