retro bath taps

I really like those 60s bathtaps with the long coney head - like this:

That second link is to a salvage website which is offering them for £90 + VAT! But I'm nervous of the original article - will it be straightforward to fix into modern fittings? Does anyone know of new ranges like this?

Hi I have seen your post - if you know who manufacturered them I can find out options for new replacements.

Oh that's kind! I'll do some research and come back to you, many thanks.

they're called Supataps. Quite popular among 1950's revivalists.

I don't know if they are still made.

The chrome is often worn away because people used acidic or abrasive cleaners.

PJ, you have opened the door to the magic kingdom! Huge thanks.
