Chrome kitchen taps we stock
The right kitchen faucet should make cooking and cleaning easier. Choose a mixer style that suits how you actually use your kitchen sink.
- Pull-out sink mixer: A pull-out chrome kitchen mixer features a retractable hose hidden inside the spout. This allows you to pull the spray head down into the sink to rinse vegetables, clean the corners of large bowls, or fill pots sitting on the benchtop.
- Gooseneck sink mixer: Known for their elegant, high-arched spouts, gooseneck taps provide maximum clearance for washing large pots, pans, and baking trays.
- Dual spray kitchen mixer tap: These mixers feature a button on the nozzle that lets you switch between a standard aerated stream for filling the sink and a powerful spray mode for rinsing off tough food residue.
- Filter tap: Dedicated drinking water taps, like the Puretec three-way filter mixer, deliver filtered water straight from the benchtop without needing a separate dispenser.
- Pot filler: A highly practical addition for serious home chefs, pot fillers are articulated cold-water taps mounted directly on the splashback above the stove, saving you from carrying heavy, water-filled pots across the kitchen.
- Sensor taps: Touch-free tapware is becoming increasingly popular in residential kitchens for improved hygiene when handling raw meat or messy ingredients.
Why choose a chrome sink mixer?
While matte black and brushed brass are currently trending, polished chrome tapware remains the undisputed standard for kitchen tapware. The electroplated chrome finish is incredibly hard, making it highly resistant to scratching from pots, pans, and heavy daily use. It is also the easiest finish to match across different brands. If you pair a chrome sink mixer with a stainless steel sink and polished cabinet handles, you guarantee a cohesive, timeless aesthetic that will not date.
What to check before you buy
- WELS rating: Check the water efficiency rating. A higher WELS star rating means the tap uses less water per minute, which is particularly important for a high-use fixture like a kitchen sink mixer tap.
- 316 stainless steel options: If your kitchen is outdoors or in a harsh coastal environment, consider upgrading from chrome-plated brass to a marine-grade 316 stainless steel mixer for maximum corrosion resistance.

Complete your kitchen setup
Your chrome sink mixer is just one part of the wet area. Complete your setup by matching your tapware to your kitchen accessories, including sink protector grids, drainer trays, and colanders.
