Freestanding Bath Taps

A freestanding bath tap is an ideal choice for bathrooms where both design and function matter. These floor-mounted taps provide a solution for freestanding bathtubs that are positioned away from the wall, where traditional deck or wall-mounted fittings won’t suffice. Our collection includes a wide variety of styles, from timeless traditional forms inspired by Victorian and Edwardian design, to modern silhouettes with clean lines and sleek finishes. Whether your space leans towards period charm or contemporary simplicity, a freestanding tap allows you to personalise your setup without compromising on usability.

Built for Style and Performance

Every floor standing tap in the Tapron range is manufactured using solid brass or stainless steel, finished in options such as brushed brass, brushed nickel, matt black, gunmetal, and antique gold and brushed bronze. These finishes are designed not just for appearance, but for long-term durability in high-moisture environments. Resistant to tarnishing, fingerprints, and wear, they continue to perform and look their best, even with frequent use.

A popular choice for freestanding baths, these taps are available as standalone bath fillers or with integrated shower handsets. Models with dual outlet functionality allow easy switching between bath spout and shower, giving users more flexibility during daily routines.

From models with crosshead or lever handles to more modern designs with single levers and thermostatic controls, the range accommodates a wide range of preferences and pressure systems. Whether you have low pressure in a period property or a high-pressure combi system, you’ll find compatible options to suit.

Freestanding Taps: Traditional vs. Contemporary Styles

Modern Freestanding Bath Taps

Modern designs are known for their simplicity and smart functionality. Usually requiring a single-hole installation, they keep visible plumbing to a minimum and are often paired with square or rounded bases for a streamlined look. Integrated diverters allow seamless control between bath filler and shower handset, and single-lever controls make temperature and pressure adjustments easy.

Popular finishes in this range include brushed brass for a warm contemporary tone, matt black for bold contrast, and polished chrome for classic minimalism. These taps are ideal for bathrooms with clean lines and minimalist layouts, and pair well with walk-in showers, slimline furniture and other modern fittings.

Traditional Freestanding Bath Taps

For homeowners looking to retain character or design a space with period influence, traditional freestanding taps bring the classic charm. Featuring elegant swan-neck spouts, crosshead handles or porcelain lever detailing, these taps are styled to suit traditional baths.Many traditional models are dual-control, allowing separate adjustment of hot and cold flow, and are available in two-hole setups for more secure floor mounting. Options with integrated shower handsets preserve the historic appeal while offering added functionality for hair washing or rinsing.

Choosing the Right Configuration

Single Outlet (Bath Filler): Ideal for those who want simplicity – perfect for soaking and less complex to install.

Dual Outlet (Bath Mixer with Shower Head): Offers greater practicality. Easily switch between filling the bath and using the handheld shower.

Mounting Options: Freestanding bath taps are typically floor-mounted, and pipe centres should be checked to match your plumbing setup. Installation in larger or open-plan bathrooms offers greater flexibility for positioning.

Height and Reach: Most models range from 800mm to 1200mm in height. Be sure to measure the height of your bath to ensure your tap is tall enough to clear the rim and positioned to prevent splashback.

A Finishing Touch with Coordinated Accessories

Complete your freestanding setup with complementary pieces such as basin taps, black or brushed brass accessories, and coordinated bath wastes. For a cohesive result, pair your freestanding bath tap with matching towel radiators, towel rings from the same finish collection.
