Laundry Tapware

Designer Laundry Tapware & Mixers for Modern Utility Spaces

Our range of laundry tapware covers laundry mixers, wall-mounted taps and wall-set tapware from brands including Meir, Nero, Turner Hastings, Fienza and Greens. With 151 products across matte black, brushed nickel, chrome, brushed brass and gunmetal finishes, the range suits everything from a practical utility laundry to a well-finished renovation.

Laundry tapware works harder than most rooms expect. It handles hot and cold water, industrial cleaning products, heavy-duty soaking and constant daily use. Getting the right fixture from the start saves money & headaches later.

Explore the Different Types of Laundry Tapware

Laundry Mixer Tap 

A single-lever mixer combines hot and cold supply into one unit. The most practical choice for a laundry sink - easy to operate with one hand, compatible with most laundry cabinets and available in a wide range of finishes and heights. Tall-spout laundry mixers work particularly well with deeper sinks where basin clearance is needed.

Wall-Mounted Laundry Taps 

Wall-mounted tapware fixes directly to the wall behind the sink rather than sitting on a benchtop or rim. This is a common configuration in laundries where the sink is freestanding or where a cleaner and more tradesperson-friendly layout is preferred. Hot and cold wall outlets are set during rough-in, so the position needs to be confirmed before tiling.

Pull-Out Laundry Mixer 

A pull-out hose adds flexibility for rinsing, soaking and filling buckets or large items outside the sink. Practical in a high-use laundry where the sink does more than hold water. The pull-out head typically retracts automatically with a weighted counterbalance.

Washing Machine Tapware 

Dedicated washing machine taps or tap sets provide the cold water connection for front or top loaders. Available as single taps or three-piece tapware and wall assembly sets. Worth checking the thread size and connection type before ordering if you are replacing an existing setup.

Curated Palette Options: Colours Available Across Our Ranges

The laundry tapware range at Designer Bathware is available across a wide set of finishes. If your laundry is finished to a similar standard as your bathroom, matching the tapware finish to the rest of the room is straightforward:

Chrome remains the most widely stocked finish and is the practical default for most laundry setups. Matte black & brushed nickel have grown significantly in demand as more renovators extend their bathroom aesthetic into the laundry. 

Pull-Out Mixer vs Gooseneck Mixer: Which Should You Choose?

Many homeowners now choose kitchen-style mixers for the laundry because they offer greater flexibility and a more modern look. The best option depends on how you use your laundry.

• Pull-Out Mixers: A pull-out spray head makes it easier to rinse laundry tubs, fill buckets on the floor, wash delicate items, or clean around the sink. They're an excellent choice for busy family laundries where versatility is important.
• Gooseneck Mixers: Featuring a tall, elegant curved spout, gooseneck mixers provide generous clearance beneath the tap for large buckets, watering cans and bulky cleaning equipment. They suit both contemporary and classic laundry designs.
• Space Considerations: In compact laundries, ensure there's enough clearance above the sink for the mixer to operate comfortably. Pull-out models also require sufficient room for the hose to extend and retract smoothly.
• Finish Selection: Whether you choose a pull-out or gooseneck mixer, matching the finish with your cabinetry, handles and other tapware helps create a cohesive laundry design. Popular options include brushed nickel, matte black, brushed brass, gunmetal and chrome.

The bottom line: If flexibility and everyday practicality are your priorities, choose a pull-out laundry mixer. If you prefer a timeless look with generous sink clearance, a gooseneck mixer is an excellent option. Both styles work well in modern Australian laundries and are available across Designer Bathware's laundry tapware collection.

Wall-Mounted vs Sink-Mounted Laundry Tapware

Laundry Tapware Installation - What You Need

A smooth laundry tapware installation typically requires:

• Isolation valves on the hot and cold supply lines for future maintenance access
• Correct tail lengths matching your wall or bench outlet positions
• A compatible waste if replacing both the tap and sink at the same time
• Thread tape and basin spanner for DIY deck-mounted installs (licensed plumber required for all supply-side connections under Australian plumbing code)

If you are installing wall-mounted tapware in a new laundry build, the rough-in position should be set before the wall is tiled and waterproofed.
