Bath Fittings - Buy Jaquar & Cera Faucets, Basin Taps, Bath Taps & Bathware Fittings Online

Bath fittings are the parts of a bathroom you actually touch every single day - the faucets you turn, the basin taps you lean over each morning, the bath taps that fill the tub, and the mixers and showers that decide whether a shower feels luxurious or lukewarm. Good bathware fittings quietly do their job for a decade; poor ones drip, stiffen, corrode and stain within a year. At Fixxly, our bath fittings range covers Jaquar and Cera - the full spread of basin taps and wash basin sink taps, bath taps and bathtub taps, single-lever and dual-control mixers, wall-mounted and pillar faucets, and the diverters and spouts that complete a bathroom. This guide explains the types of faucets, how bath fittings are priced, which cartridge and finish to choose, and how to select fittings that last.

What are bath fittings and what do they include?

Bath fittings - often searched as bathware fittings - is the umbrella term for the water-control and delivery products in a bathroom. At the heart of the category are faucets, the taps that control and direct water. Around them sit basin taps for the wash basin, bath taps and bathtub taps for the tub, shower mixers and diverters, spouts, and angle or stop valves that feed each fixture. Fixxly stocks this full range from Jaquar and Cera, India's two most trusted sanitaryware brands. Together these decide the feel, flow and reliability of every water point in the room. Because faucets are the anchor product, "faucets" is one of the highest-volume searches in the entire sanitary space, followed closely by specific types like wash basin sink tap, basin taps and bath taps.

Types of faucets and taps for the bathroom

Choosing bath fittings starts with knowing the tap types, because the same basin can take very different faucets depending on how it is mounted and how you want to control the water.

Pillar tap (single tap)

A pillar tap is a single tap that delivers one water temperature - the simplest and most economical basin fitting, common on cold-only basins and in secondary bathrooms. It mounts directly on the basin deck. Cera's pillar tap range is a popular, value-focused choice here.

Basin mixer

A basin mixer blends hot and cold water through one spout. A single-lever basin mixer controls flow and temperature with one handle and is the modern default for a wash basin sink tap; a centre-hole or three-hole mixer uses separate handles. Jaquar's basin mixer ranges are the most popular basin taps because they let you set a comfortable temperature instantly.

Wall-mounted faucet

Wall-mounted basin taps rise from the wall behind the basin rather than the deck, giving a clean counter and easier cleaning. They suit designer basins and countertop bowls where a tall spout is needed.

Bath and bathtub taps

Bath taps and bathtub taps are built for higher flow to fill a tub quickly, and often combine a spout with a shower diverter so one fitting serves both the bath and an overhead or hand shower. Wall-mounted bath mixers from Jaquar are the usual choice for a tub-and-shower combination.

Sink and kitchen taps

The same faucet family extends to the kitchen, where a sink kitchen tap or kitchen sink tap is built taller with a swivel spout to work around large utensils. Though it lives in the kitchen, it shares the cartridge and finish technology of bathroom faucets.

Faucet finishes: chrome, matte black, brushed and more

The finish is both the look and the first line of defence against corrosion and water spots. Common bath fitting finishes include:

• Chrome: the classic, brightest and most popular finish - hard-wearing, easy to clean and the safest all-round choice.
• Matte black: a modern, statement finish that hides water spots well but shows soap and mineral residue, so it needs regular wiping.
• Brushed nickel / stainless: a soft, satin metallic look that hides fingerprints and fits warmer bathroom palettes.
• Rose gold and coloured finishes: designer options for feature bathrooms; check the coating quality, as premium finishes resist tarnishing far better.

Whatever the colour, the quality of the underlying plating decides how the fitting ages. A good finish over a solid brass body - as used across Jaquar and Cera ranges - resists corrosion in humid bathrooms; a thin coating over a light alloy will pit and peel. This is a major reason two similar-looking faucets can sit at very different points on the bath fittings price scale.

How much do bath fittings cost? Bath fittings price explained

Bath fittings price depends on the body material, the cartridge, the finish and the brand tier. Because buyers weigh cost carefully across faucets, basin taps, bath taps and full bathware fittings sets, here is how to judge value rather than just the sticker.

• Body material is the foundation. Solid brass bodies cost more than zinc alloy or plastic but resist corrosion and last far longer in a wet environment - the best value over the life of the fitting.
• Cartridge quality is the reliability you are paying for. A ceramic disc cartridge adds cost but prevents the drips and stiffness that make cheaper fittings a false economy.
• Finish adds to price. Premium and coloured finishes cost more than standard chrome, both for the look and for the more durable coating.
• Buy the bathroom as a set. Matching the basin mixer, bath taps, shower and accessories in one finish and one quality tier - Cera for value, Jaquar for a premium tier - looks better and often costs less than buying piecemeal.

A sensible way to budget: list every water point - basin, bath, shower, health faucet - choose a single finish and cartridge standard across all of them, and price the set together. This gives a coherent bathroom at a controlled bath fittings price, rather than a mix of mismatched taps bought on separate impulses.

How to choose the right bath fittings for your bathroom

Match the fitting to the fixture and the way the room is used. The right bath taps and basin taps are the ones whose type, cartridge and finish suit both the plumbing and the daily routine.

• Wash basin: a single-lever basin mixer with a ceramic disc cartridge for instant, comfortable temperature control - the most-used tap in the bathroom, so buy quality here first.
• Countertop or designer basin: a tall wall-mounted or extended-height mixer so the spout clears the bowl.
• Bathtub: a wall-mounted bath mixer with a diverter so one fitting fills the tub and feeds the shower.
• Shower area: a concealed or exposed shower mixer matched in finish to the basin and bath taps.
• Secondary or guest bathroom: a simpler Cera pillar tap or basin mixer keeps the bath fittings price sensible where usage is light.
• Finish: pick one finish for the whole room; chrome is the safest, matte black and brushed nickel make a design statement but need more upkeep.

Bath fittings work as part of a complete bathroom. Pair your Jaquar or Cera faucets with sanitaryware for the basin, WC and cistern, add health faucets and bath accessories for the health faucet, towel rails and holders, and feed every fitting through reliable Ashirvad CPVC pipes and fittings. For hot water, add a water heater.

Frequently asked questions about bath fittings

What is the difference between a pillar tap and a basin mixer?

A pillar tap is a single tap delivering one temperature, while a basin mixer blends hot and cold water through one spout, usually controlled by a single lever. Mixers are the modern default for a wash basin sink tap because they let you set a comfortable temperature instantly; pillar taps are simpler and more economical for cold-only or secondary basins.

Are Jaquar and Cera good brands for bath fittings?

Yes - Jaquar and Cera are two of India's most established sanitaryware brands, and Fixxly stocks genuine products from both. Jaquar sits at a premium tier with a wide design range, while Cera offers strong value and reliability, so the right choice depends on your budget and finish preference.

Which cartridge is best in a faucet?

A ceramic disc cartridge is the best choice - it gives a smooth quarter-turn action, precise control and a long, drip-free life, unlike older rubber-washer mechanisms that wear out and drip. Both Jaquar and Cera fittings on Fixxly use ceramic disc cartridges as standard.

How do I choose a finish for bath taps?

Chrome is the safest all-round finish - bright, durable and easy to clean - while matte black and brushed nickel make a design statement but need more frequent wiping to manage water spots and residue. Whatever the colour, choose one finish across the whole bathroom for a coherent look.

Can I fix a dripping faucet without replacing it?

Usually, yes. In a quality Jaquar or Cera fitting, a drip is generally caused by a worn cartridge, which can be replaced on its own without changing the whole faucet. Cleaning the aerator can also restore weak or splashy flow.
