This is the \u003cstrong\u003efreestanding bath shower mixer\u003c\/strong\u003e in polished chrome — a floor-mounted tap on a tall column, designed for a freestanding bath that sits away from the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThis needs planning before the floor goes down\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the important part. A freestanding tap is \u003cstrong\u003eplumbed up through the floor\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means the pipework has to be run and the position fixed \u003cem\u003ebefore\u003c\/em\u003e you tile or board.
