Gunmetal Tapware

Gunmetal Tapware That Redefines Modern Luxury

Buildmat stocks gunmetal tapware for renovators, builders and homeowners across Australia. It’s the perfect middle ground — softer than matte black tapware but darker and more industrial than brushed nickel tapware. The range covers every wet area: freestanding bath tapware, standard and tall basin mixers, gunmetal showers, and pull out kitchen mixer taps. We carry premium solid brass and lead-free hardware from Nero Tapware, Fienza, and Meir Tapware. Filter by category and brand above to narrow things down.

Need a complete look? Coordinate with our brushed gunmetal collection for everything from wall mixers to freestanding bath fillers.

Shop Gunmetal Tapware by Type

• Basin mixer taps: Standard hob-mounted gunmetal basin mixers for inset sinks, alongside tall basin mixers designed to clear above-counter vessel basins.

• Wall basin/bath mixers: Wall-mounted sets with either a single backplate or separate components. The longer spouts work perfectly as bath fillers, while the shorter spouts are suited for basins.

• Shower tapware & mixers: Standard shower mixers, shower mixers with diverters (required for twin showers), and traditional wall top assemblies for those running separate hot and cold taps.

• Shower rails & twin showers: Everything from simple hand showers on brackets to full twin shower rail sets that give you an overhead drenching rain head and a detachable hand piece.

• Shower heads & arms: Ceiling and wall-mounted shower arms, paired with round or square gunmetal shower heads up to 300mm wide.

• Kitchen tapware & laundry tapware: Heavy-duty gunmetal kitchen taps and mixers, including pull out kitchen mixer taps with veggie spray functions, articulated pot fillers, and dedicated laundry mixer taps.

• Bathroom accessories: Complete the space with matching gunmetal toilet roll holders, robe hooks, towel rails, and heated towel rails.

Why Choose Gunmetal Tapware for Your Home 

What sets gunmetal apart is its subtle industrial edge paired with high-end polish. The darker hue is great at concealing fingerprints and watermarks, making it ideal for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. Plus, all of our gunmetal tapware is backed by warranty and built for longevity, with finishes that resist corrosion and wear over time. Whether you’re renovating a powder room or designing your dream bathroom, gunmetal grey tapware brings balance and impact in equal measure.

Designed for Every Space

• Bathroom: Pair your gunmetal basin mixer or tall basin mixer with a soft stone vanity or wall basin for a clean, architectural look.
• Kitchen: A gunmetal sink mixer – especially one with a pull-out spout – adds elegance and practicality to busy prep zones.
• Laundry: Add cohesion to your home with bathroom accessories like robe hooks and bath fillers in matching finishes.
