Kartell K-VIT Times Bath Filler Chrome (TAP083TI)

The Kartell K-VIT Times range is traditional in spirit but not fussy — crosshead handles marked hot and cold, in polished chrome. This is the bath filler: a deck-mounted tap that sits on the rim of the bath and fills it, with no shower function.

Bath filler or bath shower mixer?

A bath filler (this one) just fills the bath. Choose it where you have a separate shower, or no shower over the bath at all. On a traditional tap it's the cleaner look — no modern-looking hose trailing over the rim to undercut the period feel.

A bath shower mixer adds a diverter and a handset. If you need to shower over the bath, pick that instead — the two are otherwise the same tap.

Before you order

Bath fillers use 3/4" BSP connections — larger than the 1/2" on basin taps — because a bath needs to fill in reasonable time. Check your existing tails, as swapping between sizes needs adaptors.

The waste is sold separately. A bath needs a waste and overflow set, which isn't included.

Suitable for low pressure systems, so it works on gravity-fed plumbing — though on low pressure any bath tap fills slowly. That's the system, not the tap.

Living with it

The ceramic disc cartridge with quarter-turn operation gives the period look without the period maintenance — far less chance of a drip than a traditional washer tap.

The rest of the Times range

Match it with the mono basin mixer or the more compact branch version. There are also pillar taps for both basin and bath if you prefer separate hot and cold.
