A bath filler should deliver water comfortably while remaining easy to control and service. Its position must be coordinated with the bath structure, water system and surrounding surfaces.
1. Deck-mounted mixer
Installed through the bath rim or a separate ledge, this familiar format keeps controls close. Confirm the bath is suitable for drilling and leave access beneath.
2. Three-hole filler
Separate controls and a central spout create a balanced composition. Hole spacing and structural support need to be planned precisely.
3. Wall-mounted filler
This keeps the bath edge clear, but the concealed body and spout projection must be fixed before walls are closed and tiled. Provide service access where required.
4. Freestanding floor-mounted filler
A strong choice beside a freestanding bath, it requires secure floor fixing and correctly positioned services. Check reach into the bath and allow comfortable circulation.
5. Bath filler with hand shower
A handset helps rinse the bath and wash hair. Plan safe hose storage and make sure water cannot run down through the mounting point.
Technical checks
- Confirm pressure and flow requirements.
- Check spout projection and outlet position.
- Allow access to isolation and connections.
- Coordinate waste and overflow components.
- Follow the bath and tap manufacturers’ instructions.
Bathwise can help compare the filler with the bath dimensions and household water system before the first-fix positions are agreed.
