  • HOMELODY matt black basin mixer, SUS304 body

    Basin mixer · SUS304 stainless body stated · ceramic cartridge · aerator · matt black

    Basin mixer · ComfortZone 70 mm stated · AirPower aeration · pop-up waste · G3/8 DN15 · suitable for instantaneous heaters

    A basin mixer that publishes its working height, its connection size and — unusually — that it suits an instantaneous water heater, which decides whether it can be used at all on that kind of supply.

    ≈ £57 / 46 €

  • Ibergrif chrome basin mixer, 65 mm spout height

    Basin mixer · 65 mm stated spout height · ceramic cartridge · aerator · G3/8 hoses supplied

    Tall basin mixer · ComfortZone 190 mm stated · AirPower aeration · G3/8 DN15 · suitable for instantaneous heaters · no waste supplied

    A tall mixer that publishes 190 mm of clearance under the spout, states its connection size, and says it suits an instantaneous water heater — three facts that let it be specified rather than hoped at.

    ≈ £100 / 88 €

    Tall basin mixer · 30 cm stated overall height · pop-up waste and 3-in-1 tool · metal lever · StarLight chrome

    A tall mixer with a metal lever, a hardened chrome finish and a complete box — a pop-up waste, the fixing material and the installation tool.

    Tall basin mixer · brass · spout height 8.93 in (about 227 mm) · reach 6 in (about 152 mm) · hole 33–45 mm

    Best for: A countertop bowl whose rim height is known, in a bathroom where the finish is period rather than modern.

    ≈ £36 / 36 €

    Pull-out kitchen mixer · two-jet spray on a rocker · removable aerator · hoses pre-assembled · high pressure

    A high-pressure kitchen mixer whose spray switches on a rocker and whose aerator lifts out for descaling — a listing about the parts you touch, and silent on every dimension.

    Best for: A mains-pressure kitchen where a pull-out spray is wanted at the entry price, and where nothing overhead constrains the height.

    ≈ 40 €

    Pull-out kitchen mixer · 304 stainless · 40 cm pull-out · ceramic cartridge · hole Ø33–38 mm · worktop to 40 mm · 3/8 in

    The pull-out that answers the fitting questions: a tap hole range, a worktop thickness limit, a connection thread and a named cartridge — everything except a height.

    The only pull-out in this hub that publishes an outlet height, an overall height, a pull-out length and a flow figure — four numbers where the shelf usually offers a photograph.

    ≈ 40 €

    Folding kitchen mixer · 304 stainless · ceramic disc cartridge · aerator · metal lever · swivels vertically and horizontally

    A folding under-window mixer that names its cartridge, its aerator and its metal lever — and publishes not one of the heights the whole family is bought for.

    Folding kitchen mixer · folds down into the sink · 360° swivel · DVGW 350 mm tails · central fixing · 5-year warranty stated

    A folding mixer that lays down into the sink without the water being turned off, from a German maker with a five-year warranty — and the shortest supplied tails in the hub.

    ≈ £83 / 83 €

  • ZPSPZ brass folding under-window kitchen mixer, folds 90°

    Folding kitchen mixer · folds down 90° · brass body · ceramic disc cartridge · 360° swivel

    A brass folding mixer that publishes its fold angle and names its cartridge, with one height figure the maker labels ambiguously enough that this page will not resolve it.

    ≈ £136 / 130 €

  • Ibergrif three-way kitchen mixer with filtered outlet, two levers

    Three-way kitchen mixer · three separate internal lines · own lever for filtered water · 304 stainless · cold-start lever

    A two-lever three-way tap that states what actually distinguishes this family: three separate internal waterways, so filtered water never shares a channel with the mixed side.

    Best for: Replacing an existing single-hole kitchen tap with one that also serves an under-sink filter, without cutting the worktop.

    ≈ £58 / 53 €

  • GRIFEMA three-way brass kitchen mixer with three 50 cm DVGW hoses

    Three-way kitchen mixer · brass body · three DVGW 50 cm hoses · 3/8 in and 1/4 in filter connections · double lever

    A brass three-way mixer that arrives with all three hoses certified and both filter threads in the box — the least ambiguous first installation in this hub.

    ≈ £78 / 85 €

  • GROHE Precision Flow thermostatic shower mixer with EcoButton

    Shower thermostat · TurboStat cartridge · 38 °C detent · EcoJoy flow limiting with a release button · S-connections and metal rosettes

    A thermostat built around a flow-limiting button you press to release full flow — and a water-saving claim published as a percentage with nothing behind it.

    Shower thermostat · 150 mm ±12 centres · G1/2 DN15 · SafetyStop 40 °C · EcoStop 10 l/min first position · silencer fitted

    Best for: An existing wall installation whose centres are close to but not exactly 150 mm, in a bathroom where shower noise carries.

    ≈ £138 / 111 €

  • Auralum surface-mounted shower thermostat with lockable 38 °C button

    Shower thermostat · 150 mm centres stated · 38 °C detent, lockable · plastic handle stated · takes any standard hose

    A surface-mounted thermostat with a lockable 38 °C button and a plastic handle the maker defends on purpose — because limescale seizes metal ones.

    ≈ £40 / 50 €

  • Schütte LONDON thermostatic shower mixer, solid brass

    Shower thermostat · 150 mm centres stated · 20–50 °C output range · 38 °C detent · G1/2 in and out · solid brass

    Best for: A standard 150 mm wall installation on mains pressure, where the price matters and the figures still have to be there.

    ≈ 34 €

    ≈ 62 €

  • HOMELODY shower column with thermostat, 22 × 22 cm head, rail 855–1105 mm

    Shower column · thermostat included · rail 855–1105 mm, adjustable after fitting · 22 × 22 cm head (9 in) · brass mixer body

    The widest face in this hub for the lowest price — and a listing that calls a 30 × 20 cm rectangle square, which is worth noticing before you order.

    Best for: A large enclosure on strong mains pressure, where face area is the point and the exact shape needs checking first.

    ≈ 17 €

    Rain head · 28 cm round (11 in) · self-cleaning rod mechanism · brass nut and brass ball joint · G1/2

    ≈ 29 €

  • Duravit Universal hand shower, 9 l/min at 3 bar, 11 cm face

    Hand shower · three named modes · 11 cm face, 24.5 cm long · MinusFlow 9 l/min at 3 bar · EasyClean silicone · 5-year warranty

    Hand shower · three modes on a rotary control · 8 l/min stated · full performance from 1.0 bar · SpeedClean silicone · drop-protection silicone ring

    The only hand shower here that states the pressure it works properly at — 1.0 bar — which matters far more than the saving it advertises.

    Best for: A gravity-fed or low-pressure system, where most water-saving heads simply feel thin.

    ≈ £20 / 29 €

  • LuxeBath 100 cm black 2-in-1 shower channel, 50 l/min

    Shower channel · 60 cm · AISI 304 named · reversible tileable/steel grate · 30 l/min stated · adjustable feet · removable hair strainer

    A 60 cm channel that names its steel grade — AISI 304 — and supplies the hook for lifting the cover, which is the tool everyone loses.

    Best for: A compact walk-in shower where the steel grade and the cleaning access matter more than raw drainage.

    ≈ £52 / 51 €

  • sunrik 90 cm shower channel with a 360° adjustable trap

    Shower channel · 90 cm · 304 stainless · trap rotates 360° horizontally · 40 l/min stated · height-adjustable · X-flow body

    A 90 cm channel whose trap swivels through a full circle — which is what saves an installation when the waste pipe is not where the channel wants it.

    Toilet seat · urea duroplast, antibacterial and colourfast · stainless steel hinges · top fixing · quick-release · 150 kg to DIN 19516

    A seat that names its hinge metal — stainless steel — and cites the standard behind its load figure, which two thirds of this shelf does not.

    Best for: A seat that will be unbolted again one day — the hinges are the part that decides whether that is possible.

    ≈ 30 €

  • LOBENSWERK duroplast seat, 120 000 soft-close cycles, two mounting systems

    Toilet seat · urea duroplast 2.0, antibacterial and UV-resistant · 25° fast-close · two mounting systems · quick-release · 150 kg to DIN 19516 · 120 000 cycles
