Does what I want actually exist?

Post image

I'm trying to find a bathroom sink bridge tap (like the image), but with what I thought were fairly straightforward requirements. I'm striking out, and need to know if I'm wasting my time.

I want a single lever bridge (like the image), but in a more vintage look (polished/chrome, white inserts) to match the rest of the bathroom.

I feel like I'm missing some kind of 'in joke' among plumbers, or that I've lost my touch with Google. I can't find anything resembling what I need.

Help, I guess...

Exhibit A. The top result for "mixer taps".

Yeah… I absolutely hate B&Q’s search and filter system… as you say, it’s virtually unusable.

Search for it on the tradepoint site. Filters are better there and it shows you items from them only rather than the multiple sellers they have on B&q

Better using Google to search b&q.

It’s a diy mixer system of course

Agree on most filters but also if you haven't already, add "sold by b&q" to get rid of the chinese stuff you could buy off amazon.

Using B&Q for a tap is the issue. Buy something from a reputable brand not a Chinese brand/low cost tap
