1. Best Overall Tap - Vellamo Revolve Brushed Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink Mixer Tap
The Vellamo Revolve has earned its place as one of our bestselling taps thanks to its classic design, solid stainless steel construction and everyday practicality. Unlike chrome-plated taps, it’s made entirely from stainless steel, meaning it's more hygienic, durable and built to last. Features like ceramic disc cartridges, a swivel spout and a smooth single-lever handle make it easy to use, while WRAS approval offers that little bit extra. Best of all, it delivers all of this without breaking the bank!
2. Best Pull Out Tap - Vellamo Inspire Pull Out Spray Kitchen Mixer Tap
The Vellamo Inspire Pull Out Spray is a bestseller because it’s got the clean brushed stainless steel look people love, but with the added bonus of a pull-out spray head that's larger than most on the market.
Beyond its physical attributes, it’s great for rinsing veg or cleaning around the sink, making it the perfect option for 1.5 or 2 bowl sinks, and all at a price that feels fair for what you get! The rotating spout and drip-free performance contribute to a seamless and enjoyable experience, making it a reliable and satisfying addition to any home.
3. Best Boiling Water Tap - Vellamo Aura 4-in-1 Instant Boiling Water Tap
The Vellamo Aura 4-in-1 boiling water tap only launched late last year, but it’s already our most popular boiling water tap out of the new range! The knurled detailing and D-shaped spout make it a real standout in terms of design, but it’s the functionality that really sells it. Because of its 4-in-1 design, it dispenses boiling, filtered cold, and regular hot and cold water, all from one tap.
It frees up worktop space by removing the need for a kettle or separate filter tap, which is a big win in busy kitchens. The boiler is compact but powerful, with adjustable temps from 45–98°C, and it’s got a smart display with filter change alerts. Plus, the safety lock on the boiling water side is a great reassurance for families. It’s a good mix of luxury, practicality and energy-saving benefits and our existing customers clearly love it already.
4. Best Traditional Tap - Butler & Rose Elizabeth Traditional Kitchen Mixer Tap
The Butler & Rose Elizabeth Traditional is one of our bestselling taps! It’s a classic traditional design that fits perfectly in period-style kitchens, but would look great in contemporary kitchens too. It's built from polished Chrome with lovely ceramic lever handles, which is a real hit with anyone who wants their tap to stand out. It's really well priced for something that looks this good too.
5. Best Spray Tap - Vellamo Hanbury Professional Pull Out Kitchen Mixer Tap
The Hanbury Kitchen Pullout Spray tap is our bestselling spray tap and it’s easy to see why. The dual spout design sets it apart; there is a classic spout for everyday use and a flexible pull-out spray with trigger control that’s great for rinsing, cleaning or even watering plants.
People who have bought this tap have loved the mix of semi-pro practicality and style, especially with the choice of finishes like Matt Black and Brushed Brass. It just looks really premium without the premium price tag! A real standout in the pull-out tap category.
6. Best Statement Tap - Butler & Rose Alba French Mono Kitchen Mixer
This Butler & Rose Brass Mono Kitchen Tap is our best in terms of design - it really stands out thanks to its classic French styling and antique brass finish, which feels a bit more special than your usual traditional tap. The detailing is lovely, from the curved spout to the crosshead handles, and it’s available in antique copper too, meaning you can really make a statement in your kitchen. It’s not just about the looks though, it’s got modern ceramic disc cartridges to prevent drips and a swivel spout for day-to-day practicality. A great option for those after something a bit different, without going too bold.
7. Best Modern Tap - Vellamo Eclipse Concealed Pull Out Spray Single Lever Kitchen Mixer Tap
The Vellamo Eclipse Concealed Pull Out Kitchen Tap looks like a regular tap at first glance, but the concealed pull-out spray is such a clever touch. It keeps the design super clean with no visible lines, but still gives you all the functionality of a pull-out tap. The finger grip at the back doubles as the spray control, which makes it feel really considered and well designed. It comes in four finishes, all durable and well-coated, and it’s great for 1.5 bowl sinks where a bit of extra reach makes all the difference. Stylish, practical and just that bit smarter than most!
8. Best Filtered Water Tap - Clearwater Stella Triple Lever Mono Kitchen Mixer and Cold Filtered Water Tap
The Clearwater Stella Chrome Filter Tap is a modern twist on a traditional cruciform design and it delivers fresh filtered water straight from the tap, so no need for a separate filter or jug on the side. The triple lever setup makes it easy: hot and cold on the sides, filtered cold on the front. It comes with everything needed, including the filter and connectors, and the FlowPro gives a handy alert when it’s time to change the filter.
The finish options are great too, with durable PVD coatings on the Brushed Brass and Nickel versions. It’s a great-looking tap that adds a proper bit of function, especially if you want cleaner-tasting water without cluttering the worktop!
9. Best Smart Tap - Blanco Evol-S 3-in-1 Steel Smart Measure Filtered Cold Water Mono Kitchen Mixer Tap
The Blanco EVOL-S 3-in-1 Smart Measure Spray Steel Tap is definitely our best smart tap and because of that it's also the most premium! It looks luxurious and modern with the benefit of filtered cold, hot and cold water all from one tap, but don't worry, there is a separate spout for the filtered water to keep it clean and pure. The smart measure function is a great touch, just push, twist and tap to dispense the exact amount of filtered water you need, which is ideal for recipe measurement or your favourite cup of tea.
The dual spouts can even be used at the same time, so one person can be filling a drink while someone else is using the main tap! The semi-pro flexible spray head has a magnetic holder and a dual spray mode for extra versatility and the whole tap design just feels well thought out. Plus, it looks the part in the PVD steel finish, ideal for anyone after a tap that feels high-tech without being overly complicated.

Factors To Consider When Purchasing Kitchen Taps
While the aesthetic is important, there are other considerations to look for when choosing a kitchen tap. You need to ensure that the tap you choose will not only look great in your kitchen, but works well with your water system and that you’ll be able to install it easily.
Let’s take a look at some of the key factors to consider when purchasing a kitchen tap.
1. Function
Taps offer so much more than just running water!
How does a built-in boiling water function sound? If the idea that you’ll never have to wait for the kettle to boil sounds ideal then you’ll probably want to look for an instant boiling water kitchen tap to match. Taps can also have filtered water technology so you can enjoy the purest drinking water, and pull out spouts which make it easier to clean up and wash food.
Plus, there are options with either one or two levers to control temperature, 360 swivel spouts, hands-free taps, and many other time-saving features all designed to make life easier.
We’ll come on to the different types in this article, but when choosing the right kitchen tap, it’s important to have a think about what would be convenient for you.
2. Style
Nowadays, style is crucial and you should probably consider the look and feel of your kitchen to ensure the tap adds to your overall aesthetic. There are a variety of different designs that make it easy to complement your kitchen style. While a luxurious chrome finish has become somewhat of a standard, there are a number of special finishes to choose from too, such as matte black, copper, nickel, pewter and gold.
Fancy a bit more colour in your kitchen? Here you’ll find taps that incorporate bright colours.
We make it really easy to find the right taps for your space, whether that’s taps that work best in a traditional or modern space or those that work with a particular water pressure. Simply navigate to the selection you need by filtering the menu on the left hand side of the kitchen taps category page.
3. Tap holes
When it comes to tap holes, there are more options to consider than you might first think. Did you know that we offer kitchen taps with up to 4 tap holes? If it’s functionality you’re after then it’s worth taking a closer look. This style of tap often comes with a pull out rinse tap which makes watering plants, filling buckets and general cleaning a breeze.
You can still get added convenience from a monobloc or one hole kitchen tap, however, these are compact by design and very stylish, so work great for smaller kitchens and utility rooms. But if you’ve got a bit more room around your kitchen sink, then it’s definitely worth a browse at some of the other tap hole options we offer here at Tap Warehouse.
4. Water Pressure
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing the best kitchen tap for you, is that it will work with the water pressure in your home. All kitchen taps have a minimum water pressure that they are designed to work with. This information is located in the detailed product descriptions on our website.
If you’re not sure what your water pressure is, you can easily find out by following our water pressure guide.
Generally, if your water pressure is 0.5 bar or below then you’ll need to look for a low pressure kitchen tap. If you have a water pressure of 0.3 or below then you’ll need to find a tap that is designed to work with very low water pressure.
No matter what your water pressure is, we have made sure that there are a variety of kitchen taps available so you have plenty of choice.
5. Installation
Another major factor to consider is how and where your taps are going to be installed - this may also determine which style of tap will be best suited for you as well.
We have a handy guide on how to change a kitchen tap but if you have a more complicated set up or are opting for more than one tap hole, we would suggest you seek advice from a plumber.
6. Size
Each tap has a unique set of dimensions and these will help you understand if it's suitable for your kitchen. You can find this information out in the product descriptions on the website.
Tap holes are generally standard in size at around 35mm in diameter but some taps will require bigger or bespoke holes to fit. Be sure to check the specific size and requirements of your favourite taps with your kitchen before purchasing to make sure that they will fit within your kitchen.
7. Budget
Most renovation projects will be working to a budget and others may not! Thankfully, we have taps across all the ranges which will suit every budget.
If you’re after something with a little more functionality - like a boiling water tap or hands-free sensors - then it’s likely going to cost more. Whether you are starting out with a project or just researching, it’s a good idea to set a budget and then allocate spend for the different areas of your kitchen, like sinks and taps, based on your likes and wants. This way, you won’t have any surprises or disappointments when it comes to purchasing.

The Best Types of Kitchen Taps
Let’s take a closer look at the different types of kitchen taps you can choose from.
1. Monobloc
These are your standard kitchen sink taps which are designed to mix hot and cold water and feed it through one spout. Temperature is usually controlled by two levers attached to either side of the spout and these taps generally only need one tap hole.
It’s worth noting at this point that kitchen and bathroom taps are designed with their respective use in mind. So, while it’s tempting, you shouldn’t try and fix a bathroom tap in a kitchen and vice versa.
2. Single lever taps
The single lever tap is again a very standard design utilising just one tap hole. The water temperature and flow is controlled via one lever, which is moved back and forth for hot and cold water and then exits the tap at the temperature you desire. Many prefer this as it's an added convenience using just one hand.
Check out what our experts recommend are the best kitchen mixer taps.
3. Pillar taps
You tend to see this style mostly in the bathroom, but they can create a truly beautiful and traditional look for the kitchen. There are not as many options for the kitchen but we still have a great choice of kitchen pillar taps to choose from.
Hot and cold temperature is controlled individually via two spouts, but this lends itself to more creative and structured tap and handle designs.
4. Pull out kitchen taps
A fantastic addition to any kitchen and a really great tool to have at the kitchen sink - and now they are a much more affordable option. It basically consists of a spray hose which is extendable from the spout via a spiral cord. This gives you greater flexibility for cleaning and also washing food. A compact design means the hose fits nicely inside the tap when not in use - so practical!
Find out more about the different types of pull out kitchen taps.
5. Rinse taps
While the pull out spout is accessible from the main tap, a rinse hose is installed separately. It has a dedicated tap hole for even greater reach and flexibility. We love to use these for watering plants and even washing small pets in the sink!
6. Smart taps
Technology and innovation around the home continues to surprise us daily and the kitchen is no exception. Smart functions on appliances are making a huge impact on the way we live our lives. For example, there are now hands-free taps that feature sensor technology to start and stop the water, perfect if you have dirty hands.
We’re expecting to see a lot more of these smart features popping up in the kitchen very soon.
7. Filtered water taps
Fancy pure drinking water straight from the tap? These fab filtered water taps do just that. Taps usually have either a third lever or stylish push button to activate the filtered water flow.
There are lots of different style options to choose from with this function whether you have a traditional or modern kitchen.
8. Boiling water taps
A boiling water tap in your kitchen means you will have instant boiling water straight from the tap without the need to boil your kettle and wait. The boiling water is stored in a safe unit under the sink so that when you ask for boiling water it comes straight away!
This is obviously fantastic for convenience but it also helps to save you money on energy bills as boiling the kettle is one of the biggest energy zapping habits we have.
Our Energy Saving Hub has lots of advice on how to reduce your energy and water consumption at home.
