The Drench difference
The smallest of finishing touches can really transform your bathroom. And with the Belgravia Lever Basin Pillar Taps by Crosswater, you can inject authentic period charm into your traditionally designed bathroom. Curved shapes feature throughout the body of this set of pillar taps, topped off with an elegant ceramic handle lever to control the temperature and flow of water through the long nose spouts. Although classically designed, your new tap comes with modern Ceramic Disc technology inside the valves so turning the levers will be incredibly smooth and easy whilst they also prevent the constant dripping and leaking previously experienced with older taps.
Finished with a hand-polished chrome plating, these taps retain a luxurious feel. Crosswater have also designed a range of bath and shower brassware so you can create a cohesive style across your whole bathroom. Your new taps will also be supplied with a 15 year manufacturers guarantee so you can be sure they have been built to last.

Material | Brass |
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.

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.
