ENKI Twin Hot Cold Basin Taps New Bathroom Period Victorian Plumbing Chrome WINDSOR

UPDATE: 18 months after fitting the hot tap finally gave up. It had been getting harder to turn on for some time. Today (Aug 25th 2019) it was taking so much force that I feared breaking it and having it pouring water without being able to shut it off. Not impressed. Lowering to 2-stars as there may be units that work fine for many years but I doubt it.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Needed a replacement for a similar unit. Fortunately the centers matched the old one so we could use the old risers.Installation was a breeze not having to do anything other than turning off the and draining the system, unbolting the old and screwing on the new.But only 3-stars.I reused the old shower head as the handle on the new one felt a lot cheaper, less refined compared to the old one.I would have used the old lever to change from shower to bath as the new one is too long and is too close to the taps that are also a little larger than the the old pair. I could not remove the old lever and the new taps (the things you turn) had a larger diameter spindle so were not interchangeable.It did come with all the required washers. Make sure you do not over-tighten the nuts, they only need to be a little tighter than finger-tight.The outlet is just a large opening so water pouring out is a little splashy, less controlled and maybe noisier. The old unit had a diffuser.Note this unit comes with compression washers which probably makes it easier to control temperature (good for mum) than the ceramic washers but take many turns to open and close (annoying for me).A small thing, the outlet was longer on this unit so the water came out directly above the drain compared to the old unit. Others may like that, I would probably prefer water not to go straight down the drain. But, as I said, a small thing.This is something you may want to look at in a store even if it costs more.Not worth returning but I wouldn't buy again.

I'm an IT geek, not a diy guy, and certainly not a plummer, heck I'm the guy that had to go out and buy a wrench after this arrived cos I didn't realise I didn't have one. This was easy to fit, and I'll just share a few thought.Bath taps can be a nightmare to get round behind, so prepare to get a bit frustrated, and use the right size tool - if you round off bolts as difficulty angles, you'll be screwed.My old taps, the rubber seal inside was knackered, which is why I think the taps were chugging and the boiler sounded like it was trying to leap off the wall. Thankfully, this set comes with all the rubber seals you need, so don't worry about saving the old ones or heading to B&Q.Also, all this comes is separate bits, meaning the two main bulky metal bits that come up from the bath and connect to the horizontal bit with the taps on, are easy to get nice and tight individually.There are no instructions, but you don't need em, you'll work it out, especially once you've remove the old stuff.All seems good quality too, very happy.In short, if you moved into a house with no shower like I did - don't even bath with those rubber hose tap shower head things, this wasn't that bad to install. Man I wish I did this a year ago...

I think these are fantastic value. I'm not a plumber so I'll just describe them in layman's terms. They have a quality, substantial feel to them (don't feel cheap and lightweight). Our plumber fitted them without any issues. The tap heads feel nice to turn... a soft, smooth turn. Same goes for the lever to switch from bath filler to shower head. The chrome layer seems good on them. No imperfections. The pressure through them is perfect, same as our other taps, so no problems there. The shower head also works well. Assuming that the ceramic disk mechanism in the inside is normal standard quality, I don't foresee any problems with this bath filler. I'd recommend it based on my experience so far. The supplier we got these from included decorative wall fittings, as shown in our photo.(We chose to mount ours on a wood plinth, but they could equally have fitted flush with the wall. Our plumber said that, in an ideal world, if you want the wall plates to be flush with the wall, it's best to fit the tap connectors onto the copper pipes before you plasterboard. He seemed to think it still would have been possible to do it by enlarging the gap the pipes were coming out of slightly.)

The old one I had was nackerd. We used the original pillars. As we couldn't get to them to remove. This fitted straight on. In under 10 minutes. And works a treat. Up date. Have had these for a year now. Great quick fix. But the mixer lever doesn't mix the water/ to hot or cold. Comes lose and needs tightening weekly. As do the parts you turn on the taps. Making then drip. If you can get a more expensive one .

Finally fitted this tap at the end of a very long bathroom refurbishment.Like many others my water system is gravity fed but trying to find taps that work on very low pressure is becoming harder and harder especially with mixer taps because the internal waterways are so small it restricts flow.These taps are great my water pressure in the bathroom is under 0.2 bar but these taps still manage to give decent flow, the quality also seems very good, its hard to believe this mixer tap cost less than £25, but time will tell if it will last.If you have a gravity fed system I thoroughly recommend this tap and even if you don't its still a good buy.

These look very impressive and we have had no issues with any leaks like some other reviewers have complained about.The customer service is also excellent and one part needed to be replaced which was sent to us quickly with no issues.Water flow is great we are on a gravity fed system with about 0.6 bar pressure and the water flow is even better than our previous taps.Simple to install and fit I am no plumber but did it myself with no hassle.

Had them installed in March. It has been working great however since past week the threading in the tap head has gone and had to order another pair of tap heads and insert from Amazon. It would be nice to be compensated or the seller change the faulty part as it has only lasted 3 months.

Thank You
