A black kitchen tap is one of the easiest ways to bring the matte-finish look from your bathroom through to your kitchen. This collection brings together our black kitchen mixers, pull-out spray taps and supporting tapware in matte black and related dark finishes — designed to stand up to daily use without losing their finish.
The range is anchored by Meir's matte black kitchen tapware, which pairs Australian-designed engineering with a finish built for high-traffic kitchen sinks. Every product in the collection is full-brass underneath the finish, with ceramic disc cartridges and SA-suitable warranty cover.
If you're matching black bathroom tapware to your kitchen, the related Meir bathroom collection makes co-ordination simple. Speak to our team if you'd like advice on choosing between standard, pull-out and pull-down mixers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kitchen taps are included in your black range?
Our black kitchen range centres around Zip HydroTap G5 in matt black, which delivers filtered chilled, sparkling, boiling, and ambient water at the touch of a button, and is paired with matching black granite composite prep bowls and sinks. The collection also includes traditional matt black single lever mixers and pull-out spray mixers for everyday kitchen sinks. Whether you want a complete Zip HydroTap installation or simply a coordinated matt black mixer for your sink, the range from Bella Bathrooms & Tiles offers cohesive finishes across taps and basins.
How does a Zip HydroTap work?
Zip HydroTap is an under-counter filtration and chilling unit that supplies a single tap with multiple water modes through one spout. The G5 system delivers filtered boiling water on demand at 100 degrees Celsius, instantly chilled water, sparkling carbonated water (on BCS models), and ambient filtered water. The under-counter unit replaces a traditional kettle, jug filter, and sparkling water maker, freeing counter space. The system uses MicroPurity filtration to remove sediment, chlorine taste, lead, and biological matter. Filter cartridges are replaced annually as part of a service contract.
What plumbing and electrical connections does a Zip HydroTap need?
Zip HydroTap G5 requires a dedicated 15mm cold water inlet, a standard 220V power outlet inside the cabinet, and a 40mm waste connection for any drip tray or vent. The under-counter unit measures approximately 470 x 175 x 415mm and needs ventilation clearance around it inside the cabinet. The Command Centre models can sit further from the tap, useful in island installations. We strongly recommend Zip-approved installation, as the warranty depends on a certified install. We can refer you to vetted Gauteng installers from our trusted contractor network.
What is the warranty on Zip HydroTap and black kitchen taps?
Zip HydroTap G5 systems carry a 3-year residential warranty on the under-counter unit and tap, covering parts and labour through Zip's South African support network. Filter cartridges and consumables are excluded as wear items. Lavé granite composite prep bowls carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty against staining, fading, and structural failure. Standard matt black kitchen mixers in the range carry distributor-backed warranties between 2 and 5 years depending on the model. Always retain your original invoice and register Zip products at install for full warranty coverage going forward.
Will matt black hold up next to a hob and oven?
Yes. PVD coatings used on quality matt black kitchen taps are heat resistant, chemically inert, and abrasion resistant, so daily contact with cooking oils, citrus juice, vinegar, and steam will not damage the finish. Granite composite sinks like the Lavé range are also formulated for kitchen use and resist heat up to 280 degrees Celsius. Wipe spills as they happen, and avoid pouring acidic substances neat onto the surface.
