A kitchen sink tap is one of the most frequently used fixtures in a home.
If it becomes loose, leaks continuously or becomes difficult to operate, repair or replacement may be required.
Types of Kitchen Sink Taps
Cold Water Tap
A simple cold-water-only tap is commonly used in utility areas, service yards and basic kitchen setups.
Mixer Tap
A mixer tap combines hot and cold water and allows the user to control the final temperature.
Pull-Out Kitchen Tap
A pull-out tap includes an extendable spray head, making it easier to rinse vegetables, wash larger cookware and clean the sink.
