Which taps? Bristan or Grohe?

[MissisBoote]

Finally narrowed down the tap selection and is between a bristan or a Grohe?

Which make is best?

Grohe. Just better design - normally. Top quality too.

For some reason thought this was a baby name thread and was prepared to say sounds like taps to me...

Agreed Grohe ..we have in loo downstairs and bathroom ...very nice

Before you make up your mind, have a look at price and availability of service parts. There is a very big difference.

For quality and reliability, Bristan beats Grohe by a tiny margin. But style and appearance are different.

Bristan look dated. My taps have never gone wrong. Never needed spare parts!

I love our grohe taps!

I have both , bathroom, all taps, push flush, plumbed in shower - Bristan. Toilet, tap and push flush - Grohe. Both 15 years old , no complaints about either , still all look like new.
Bristans customer service absolutely superb!
About 2 years ago we had a problem with the shower not mixing the water properly, phoned Bristan for advice - they couldn't have been more helpful, diagnosed the problem over the phone . It was one of two things , they sent the two parts overnight ( no charge) , with clear instructions of how to replace them ourselves. Last year the ceramic part inside the sink tap went , again exactly the same service. It was a pleasure to deal with a company that backs their products with fabulous customer service .

their taps are better than their showers.

Aqualisa round mixers are better.

Thanks for the insight. I do prefer the style of the Grohe ones.

Husbands is a plumber and says Grohe
