For over 40 years, we've been helping house builders and contractors meet the dreams and aspirations of their buyers with exactly the right choice of taps and showers. Around 1 in 4 homes in the UK are fitted with Bristan taps, brassware and accessories. Or, to put it another way, more than 1.5 million Bristan taps and showers are sold each year!
Bristan understands that housebuilders and developers require aesthetically pleasing, functional, easy-to-install, fit-and-forget products such as Part G of the Building Regulations on water saving and safety, while still delivering on quality and budget.
We understand that the taps and showers you select for the houses you build need to reflect the lifestyle promises you're making in your homes. Whether it’s for starter homes, five bedroom executive homes or chic, city centre apartments, the Bristan range can furnish exactly the right products to create that elusive ‘wow’ factor.

In a competitive marketplace, it is not only prices and products, which can sway the bathroom specification between suppliers on a new housing development. Service is also a big factor, an area where Bristan excelled to win over regional housebuilder Lioncourt Homes.
Lioncourt Homes worked closely with Bristan, who were more than happy to help the developer choose a bold new specification. They recommended Blitz basin mixers and 1-hole bath fillers for its standard homes, and the stunning Hourglass range for a premium finish in its executive properties.

The Wallmount 12 bar bracket is the simplest solution for installing, maintaining and replacing bar showers. This makes it ideal for first fix installation.
There are lots of benefits to installing these on your developments:
Quick and easy to remove a bar shower and also makes it easy to upgrade the bar shower without any mess to the tiling.
You can isolate the water supply on the wall with just the turn of a screw, which negates the potential for any water damage during installation.
The bar showers itself needn't be fitted until a later stage of the build process, protecting it from potential on site damage.
