Kartell K-VIT Nero Curve Bath Shower Mixer Matt Black (TAP291CN)

The Kartell K-VIT Curve Nero range is the matt black version of Curve — a bold curved spout arcing out of a clean, slightly angular body. This is the bath shower mixer: a deck-mounted bath tap with a diverter and a shower handset on a flexible hose.

What it does

It fills the bath like a normal bath filler, and the diverter sends water to the handset instead — so you can shower over the bath, rinse hair, or clean the bath itself without a separate shower installation.

If you already have a separate shower and only need to fill the bath, the Curve Nero bath filler costs less and keeps the line of the spout clean — which matters more on a black tap, where the hose is very visible.

Before you order

Bath taps use larger connections than basin taps, so check your existing tails.

The waste is sold separately — and you'll want a matching black one. Note the Curve Nero basin mixers both include a black waste; the bath taps don't.

Suitable for low pressure systems. Being straight: on gravity-fed plumbing the handset will be a gentle spray rather than a powerful shower. That's your water pressure, not the tap. If you want a proper shower over the bath on low pressure, you need a pump.

Living with matt black

Matt black shows limescale and water spotting more than chrome, and a bath shower mixer gets splashed constantly — this is the least forgiving position in the bathroom for the finish. Wipe it dry after use.

Never use abrasive cleaners or limescale remover. The finish is a coating, not plating. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth only.

If that sounds like more upkeep than you want, the chrome Curve bath shower mixer is the same tap in an easier finish.

Matching the rest of the room

Pairs particularly well with a Krittal or Nero black-framed bath screen, and with Kartell's black Nero accessories.
