The Caswell Bibcock Tap is a dual lever mixer tap chosen by Mastercraft Kitchens for kitchens where a classic, period-inspired look matters as much as daily function. With its crosshead handles, it sits well on a traditional butler sink or a standard kitchen worktop, bringing a separate hot and cold control to the single spout rather than one central lever. Made by Bidbury & Co. in solid brass, it is built to handle years of regular use at the sink.

Key Benefits

• Crosshead handles give you precise control over hot and cold separately, which suits anyone who prefers to mix water temperature by hand rather than relying on a single lever.
• The WRAS approved Flühs ceramic valves inside mean the tap turns smoothly year after year, without the stiffness or dripping that cheaper valves develop over time.
• A spout reach of 158mm and height of 128mm gives enough clearance for washing up bowls and taller pans without water splashing over the edge.
• Solid brass construction carries real weight in the hand, so the tap feels stable rather than loose when you turn the handles.
• Seven finish options, from polished chrome to patinated brass and polished gold, let you match the tap to worktop materials, handles and other hardware already specified in your kitchen.
• Supplied with an alternative eco aerator for homes on a high-pressure system, which restricts flow without reducing how the tap feels to use day to day.

Worktop thickness needs to be 40mm or under for this tap to fit correctly, so it is worth checking this against your worktop specification before ordering. Operating pressure runs between 0.3 and 3 bar, with 1.0 bar recommended, which covers most UK mains and gravity-fed systems but is worth confirming against your home's water pressure if you are unsure.
