Gio Bella Taps

This is the orientation page for the whole Gio tap range, listed under both the Gio Bella and Gio Plumbing names. It covers tall and short basin mixers, wall mounted and freestanding bath mixers, concealed diverter and shower or bath mixers, bidet mixers, bath spouts and stand pipe sets, plus touch-free electronic taps for commercial washrooms. If you already know the shape you want, the range and category pages below will get you there faster.

Three ranges carry the domestic taps

Nearly every domestic mixer here belongs to Malta, Genova or Torino. The titles are consistent about shape: Malta is square, Torino round, and Genova runs alongside them with one oval wall type bath mixer. Malta and Genova pair most items with a black version and a chrome one, so you can hold a single shape and finish from the basin through to the shower valve. Torino titles mostly leave the finish to the product page. The same three names also appear on accessories, which is how people match a whole bathroom.

Basin, bath, shower and bidet

Basin mixers come in tall and short bodies, the tall ones for basins that sit on top of a counter and the short ones for basins set into it. Bath side splits into wall mounted mixers, concealed diverter and shower or bath mixers that build into the wall, and floor standing units, which have their own page at freestanding bath mixers. Bidet mixers are stocked in the Malta square shape. Concealed valves are built in before tiling, so specify them early.

Commercial taps and spray sets

The Metrix and Sintra taps are touch-free deck and wall mounted electronic faucets for commercial washrooms, powered by a mains transformer or by batteries depending on the version named in the title. Trigger spray sets are grouped here too, in round, square and forced shut-off versions.

Pair a shower valve with a rose from Gio shower heads and an arm from shower arms, and pick up isolating valves and traps from plumbing and wastes. The rest of the brand is up at Gio Bella.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a tall and a short basin mixer?

Height and spout clearance. A tall basin mixer is meant for a basin that sits on top of the counter, where the spout has to clear the rim of the bowl. A short one suits a basin set into or under the counter, where the tap deck is close to the water level. Measure from the tap hole to the top of the bowl before choosing.

Which Gio tap ranges are available?

The domestic taps sit almost entirely in three ranges: Malta, Genova and Torino. Malta is listed as square and Torino as round, with Genova alongside them. Malta and Genova run in black and chrome across most of their line. The same three names appear on the accessory ranges, so you can match taps and accessories through one bathroom.

What is a concealed diverter mixer?

It is a mixer whose valve body is built into the wall so that only the plate and handle are visible. The diverter part switches the flow between outlets, typically between an overhead shower and a bath spout or handshower. Because the body is buried, it has to be installed before tiling, so decide on it at the planning stage rather than at fit-out.

Are Gio taps available in matt black?

Yes. Black is the finish named most often across the Gio tap titles, ahead of chrome. Malta and Genova carry it through most of their line, each black item sitting next to a chrome equivalent, while Torino names it on one product and leaves the rest to the product page. Two of the commercial Sintra faucets are listed in a PVD copper finish and one in black.

What are the Metrix and Sintra taps?

They are touch-free electronic faucets built for commercial washrooms rather than domestic bathrooms. Both deck mounted and wall mounted versions are stocked, activated by an infrared sensor, and each product title states how that unit is powered, either from a mains transformer or from a battery box. Some Sintra models are listed for cold or premixed water only.
