Sinks and Taps in the Bathroom: Getting the Bathroom You Want
The Home Handyman|March/April 2022
Most people don't immediately think of the sink and tap when they remodel the bathroom, and when they do, it is often the last thing they consider.
Sinks and Taps in the Bathroom: Getting the Bathroom You Want

Usually, the rough plumbing goes behind the wall of a bathroom remodel, and this is typically done at the start of the renovation. However, a bathroom renovation contractor will have to know what type of sink and tap you want before the rough plumbing is installed.

With so many options to choose from, it can be overwhelming to choose a tap and sink, but there are some tips that can help you narrow down your choices:

Bring some ideas and your budget when meeting with the contractor

To start the process of choosing the sink and tap, consider taking some ideas along with you when you meet your contractor for the first time (if you are not doing the job yourself). If possible, bring photos or pictures from magazines to show what you like, or even what you hate. This will give the design team an idea of what your preferred style is, and it will make it easier for them to recommend products. You should also talk about your budget when you meet with the contractor for the first time, as plumbing fixtures run the gamut when it comes to price. It is possible to have a beautiful bathroom at any budget, you just must make sure the contractor knows a exactly what that budget is before they start planning and recommending elements for the bathroom, including the sink and tap.
