How to add mixer to old kitchen taps?

blitz19

Hi any advice please. We are moving in another rental home and there kitchen tap is old and wall mounted (will include photo). Is there a mixer tap we can connect on it without removing the old tap as the landlord don't want it to be replaced. Thank you

Hi @blitz19,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

Unfortunately, there is no way to swap these taps for a mixer tap without the assistance of a plumber.

Two tap setups have separate hot and cold pipes that each rise independently to their own tap. A mixer tap needs both the hot and cold pipes to be brought together at one point under the tap body.

Unfortunately, the only way you could install a mixer tap in this situation is with the assistance of a plumber, which would require your landlord to be on board.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Jacob
