For kitchens, in addition to the standard single-lever mixer, there are pull-out taps with flexible hoses that make cleaning the sink easier, and foldable taps to avoid hitting the window when there's a sill. Taps with high U-spouts for filling large pots. Kitchen taps with filtered water dispensers or instant boiling water are gaining ground but require specific installation. A single-lever mixer is the most common in both kitchen and bathroom. A single lever controls flow and temperature. It's convenient, fast, and economical. Thermostatic is the next category: two separate controls, one for pre-set temperature and another for flow. This is what we install in modern showers because it maintains a constant temperature even when someone flushes the toilet in another bathroom. Waterfall or river effect is aesthetic, popular in premium basins and integrated renovations with careful design. The reality is that no one changes it. Technical services don't usually warn, and owners are unaware of its existence. When we conduct a first inspection of a water heater over five years old, the anode is almost always completely consumed.

As it is a professional installation with an invoice, the manufacturer honors its official warranty (2-5 years depending on the brand). We add a 30-day warranty on our labour. For bathrooms where the tap is used several times a day, the investment in medium-high quality brassware is easily amortised. For areas with little use (guest bathroom, second home), an average tap is sufficient. We work with brands such as Grohe, Roca, Hansgrohe, Tres, and Ramon Soler. The water in the Costa Blanca has an average hardness of 30-40 French degrees. This means that a standard electric water heater of any brand, installed without any special care, lasts between five and eight years before starting to cause serious problems. Compared to an identical water heater installed in soft water areas like Galicia or northern Catalonia, where it lasts twelve or fifteen years without problems, the difference is brutal and ultimately impacts your wallet.

The price for sanitary ware installation in Eixample (Mataró) typically ranges between 58 and 540 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. In holiday rental properties with intensive use, we recommend annual preventive cleaning coordinated with tenant rotation. The cost is marginal and extends the lifespan of the taps by several years. Almost no one knows it exists, but it's the part that adds the most useful life to the water heater. It's a magnesium rod inside the tank that attracts corrosion to itself instead of letting it attack the tank walls. It wears down over time. When it's completely depleted, corrosion starts to eat away at the tank, and from then on, every year counts. We replace it every four or five years in hard water areas. Reasonable cost and easily extends the appliance's life by another ten years.
