Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a basin mixer or separate hot and cold taps?
A single basin mixer (one body, one or two handles) is the contemporary default and gives you direct temperature control with one movement, which is more water-efficient in day-to-day use. Separate hot and cold pillar taps are typically a styling choice, suited to Victorian, country and heritage bathroom schemes, or where the basin has two existing tap holes you do not want to plug. Both are well represented in our range, and our team can confirm what fits your basin's tap hole configuration before you order.
What is the difference between a wall-mounted and a deck-mounted basin mixer?
A deck-mounted mixer sits on top of the basin or vanity and connects to plumbing from below, which is straightforward to install in a standard tap hole. A wall-mounted mixer protrudes from the wall above the basin, which creates a cleaner vanity surface, looks visually striking with countertop basins, and is easier to clean around. Wall-mounted options require plumbing to be set in the wall during first fix, so they need to be specified before tiling begins. If you are renovating and the rough plumbing is already in place, deck-mounted is usually the more practical choice.
Will these taps work with my water pressure?
Most taps in our range are designed for the 1 to 5 bar mains pressure typical in South African homes. Quality brands like Hansgrohe are engineered to perform across the full range, while some imported designer ranges are optimised for higher pressures (3 bar plus) and may underperform on low-pressure gravity systems. If your home runs on a rooftop tank, borehole or municipal area known for pressure issues, mention it when ordering and we will confirm which products will give you the flow you expect, or recommend a pressure pump to bridge the gap.
What inlet size do I need for South African plumbing?
The standard inlet for residential bathroom plumbing in South Africa is 15mm, and almost all bathroom tapware we stock at Bella Bathrooms & Tiles connects to 15mm flexible braided hoses that screw onto the tap tails. These hoses are usually supplied with the tap or available as a low-cost add-on. If you have older galvanised plumbing or imperial sized pipework, your plumber may need adaptor fittings during installation. For commercial taps or specialist applications (medical, food prep), inlet requirements can differ, so confirm with our team before ordering.
How do I clean and care for tapware to keep finishes looking new?
Wipe taps down weekly with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, then dry to prevent water spots and limescale. Avoid abrasive scourers and any cleaner containing bleach, ammonia or acid, which strip protective coatings. For limescale build-up, soak a cloth in white vinegar diluted 1:1 with water and lay it over the affected area for ten minutes, then rinse and dry. Matt finishes like matt black are particularly sensitive to harsh cleaners, so stick to manufacturer-approved products. Our showroom team can recommend appropriate care products when you visit Kramerville.
