Franke or grohe

I repair a lot of monobloc kitchen taps and I find some of Franke taps absolute tat. Add to that they aren't cheap.
Some of the cheaper unbranded taps are decent.

The secret of a good tap is in its weight. Most taps now are more zinc than brass so BEWARE lightweight taps as they will corrode so badly they will be impossible to repair.
Always ask the manufacturer, NOT retailer, for its composition. "Is it made of solid brass?" If it is, then choose one with separate hot and cold valves as they will keep going for ever.
Remember, many now intimate it's made of brass... The phrase 'morally corrupt' pops into my head for some reason...

I fit a lot of Bristan taps. They seem good and rarely have issues.

Just beware of the fast fit ones , a post was put on here a few months ago , about them coming loose .

Really, I have fired a few since they can out. Not an issue yet. Either that or no one has bothered to call me back to tighten it back up

I believe it's not just the tap itself but also down to the installer. How often you get called out because of twisted flexible hoses or poor installed taps. I totally agree with paying a little more for a decent brand than going cheap for £20/£30.

Me, personally I am not going cheap anymore in terms of everything in life. I'd rather pay a lot more but having quality and no hassle. But that's me, I am not talking about others.
