Hudson Reed Tec Bathroom Taps

The Tec range comes in chrome, black and brushed brass, so you can match the look you want. Chrome is very reflective and bright, so it suits light, modern schemes and is straightforward to wipe clean. Black gives a bold, contemporary contrast but may show water spots on hard water, so you’ll want to wipe it down more often. Brushed brass hides fingerprints well and pairs beautifully with warm tiles or timber finishes for a softer, luxurious feel.

A mono basin mixer requires a single tap hole and mixes hot and cold inside one spout, while a 3‑tap‑hole basin mixer needs three holes — typically separate hot and cold controls plus a central spout. The Tec line includes both styles, for example the Chrome Mono Basin Mixer from about £129 and the Chrome Basin Mixer – 3 Tap Hole at £167.40. If your basin already has one pre‑drilled hole, go for a mono; if it has three holes or you want a traditional two‑handle look, choose the 3‑hole version.

Both options can look minimalist, but they achieve different effects: deck‑mounted taps (eight options in the Tec range) sit on the basin or bath and feel integrated, while the three wall‑mounted taps create a floating, uncluttered surface and free up basin edge space. For a slim vanity or countertop basin you’ll likely prefer a wall‑mounted Tec mixer to keep the top clear; for a standard inset basin a deck‑mounted mono mixer keeps plumbing simpler and looks neat.

You should choose the Tec Bath Shower Mixer, which combines a bath filler with a shower diverter so you can switch between the bath flow and a hand shower. The Tec Chrome Bath Shower Mixer is listed at £208.70 and suits contemporary baths where you want a single fitting to do both jobs. If you only need water into the bath with no shower, the bath filler taps (available in chrome, black and brushed brass) are the simpler option.

The Tec range is deliberately minimalist with clean lines, so pick one finish for all visible fittings — for example, brushed brass Tec basin and bath fillers to echo warm taps across the room. For a pared‑back, modern feel use mono basin mixers and wall‑mounted options to keep surfaces uncluttered; for instance, a black wall‑mounted mono basin mixer paired with matching black shower hardware makes a strong, cohesive statement. Prices across the range let you match pieces within a budget, from around £125 for chrome mono mixers up to £228 for brushed brass bath fillers.
