About us

The Brass Tap Company Ltd specialises in antique and traditional taps, tap restoration and the hard-to-find spare parts needed to keep quality fittings in use.

Built upon extensive practical experience, the company brings together a substantial collection of restored antique taps with a vast and varied stock of original and replacement components. This allows us to help customers looking for anything from a complete set of distinctive period taps to an individual part needed to complete a repair.

Antique and restored taps

Our collection includes carefully restored antique and vintage taps in a range of styles, sizes and finishes. Each set has its own history and character, offering an alternative to mass-produced modern fittings for period properties, sympathetic renovations and interiors requiring something less ordinary.

We understand that choosing older taps involves more than appearance alone. Construction, condition, compatibility and future maintenance must all be considered. Our experience allows us to provide informed, practical advice and help customers identify taps suitable for their particular project.

A vast stock of tap spares

Finding the correct component is often the greatest challenge when repairing an older tap. Parts may no longer be manufactured, modern replacements may not fit and small differences in dimensions can determine whether a repair is successful.

Over many years, we have accumulated an extensive stock of tap spares and components. This provides an invaluable resource for repairing and restoring antique, vintage and traditional taps that might otherwise be considered beyond economical repair.

Customers are welcome to contact us with photographs and measurements of the tap or component they are trying to identify. Although it is not always possible to match every item, our knowledge and stock mean we can often help where standard plumbing suppliers cannot.

Tap repair and restoration

Alongside supplying restored taps and spare parts, The Brass Tap Company offers a specialist tap repair and restoration service.

Work can include dismantling, cleaning, internal repairs, machine polishing and preparation for finishes such as chrome, nickel and copper. Each tap is assessed individually, with the aim of preserving its original character while returning it to dependable use wherever practicable.

Restoration can be particularly valuable when taps are original to a property, form part of a matching suite or would be difficult to replace with a modern equivalent.

Supplied throughout the world

The Brass Tap Company has supplied taps and components to customers across the UK and around the world. Our taps have been chosen for private homes, restoration projects and commercial interiors, as well as for film and television productions where authentic period fittings were required.

This breadth of experience has given us an understanding of the varied practical and visual requirements involved in specifying antique taps.
