Bristan N 3/4 C CD 1901 Bath Pillar Taps – Chrome

Just had these fitted today and I have to say, I’m well pleased with the result. They look great, compared with the modern-style ones they have replaced, which were dripping and due to the stupid design, the water was flowing back along the horizontal part of the tap onto the part of the unit were the soap would normally be placed (I had to affix an elastic band on them to stop that happening while waiting for the new taps to be fitted). Even if these new ones were to drip, which I don’t expect to happen for quite a long time because they are a reputable brand, the traditional design means that the drips would run into the sink and drain away. Also, being traditional design, they don’t have any plastic inserts in them, so I think they will probably remain much cleaner for longer (the cold tap of the other design needed to be brushed every couple of weeks to remove the horrible black mould that would build up inside the discharge point of the tap). I have purchased the matching 1901 series taps for the hand wash basin as well and they look and feel just as good. The only problem is, I shall have to train my mind to remember to turn both handles the same way, rather than the opposite way for hot and cold as with the modern design, but I’ll get used to it.
