The Drench difference
The perfect traditional pairing to an elegant countertop basin, the Belgravia Crosshead Tall Basin Mixer Tap by Crosswater. At a height of 460mm this feature monobloc tap has a sophisticated swan neck spout that will gracefully pour water into your basin whilst still giving you plenty of space to wash your hands and face. The crosshead valves are ergonomically located and feature beautiful ceramic decorative heads with branding, as well as classically-styled ball ended spokes that finish the traditional look perfectly. Ceramic disc technology also features inside the valves, giving you ultimate control with only the need for a quarter-turn to operate, whilst also preventing excess dripping throughout the night as previously experienced with older leaky taps.
Crosswater have also designed a co-ordinating range of shower and bath brassware in both finishes so you can create a cohesive scheme across your beautiful bathroom.

Taps use either a ceramic disc cartridge or a rubber compression washer to control flow. Rubber washers will naturally wear down with use, and the tap handle will require more and more rotations to turn on or off. On the plus side, it's very easy to replace a rubber washer and they're available everywhere.
Ceramic disc cartridges need only a 90-degree rotation to fully open or close, and the 2 ceramic plates are incredibly hard-wearing and resilient. They're more expensive to make, but they allow for a huge range of designs, easy operation and simple maintenance if needed.
Whilst it is rare for a ceramic cartridge to need replacing, you may very occasionally need to remove and rinse the cartridge if grit or debris within the water system is preventing the 2 plates from closing properly. Much like replacing a rubber washer, this is a quick and easy job, and will ensure many years of use.

Tap spouts are available in a variety of different styles which have an effect on both the look and function of your tap. Different spout types will have different heights and projections, so it’s important to choose one which will complement your basin or bath.

Your water pressure depends on your home's water system. It’s important to consider water pressure when buying a new tap or shower. Buying a product with a minimum water pressure that’s too high for your home will result in poor performance.
- With a combi boiler you can usually expect between 1 and 2 bar
- With a gravity system (cold water tank in attic) you may have as little as 0.1 or 0.2 bar upstairs, and perhaps 0.5 bar downstairs
- With a high pressure unvented system (hot water cylinder, no cold water tank) you will generally have between 1 and 3 bar
You can install an item with a low minimum pressure rating on a high pressure system, but avoid installing an item with a high minimum rating on a low pressure system! Read our guide to water pressure to learn more.
