The size of the bathroom sink tap will determine the appearance of your sink area. Before buying a basin tap, you need to know the ideal size before even going for the design. Whether you are looking for a pillar, mixer, or wall-mounted taps, you must get the right size.

You can take the following steps to determine the best bathroom sink size:

Measure The Sink

If you already have a sink, you need to take measurements to determine if it suits the tap you wish to buy. Some details you need include the following;

• The height of the sink (washing area): Whether the sink sits on the floor or countertop, measure the height. You don’t want to get a bathroom tap with a long spout, yet the sink is too short for that tap. You’ll have very limited space between the basin tap and the bottom of the sink. 
• The ideal location of the sink: If you are fitting the basin tap on the sink, wall, or behind the sink, you need to have the measurements to determine the ideal size of the tap. If it is a wall-mounted sink, you need to be sure the water will flow into the sink and not leave a mess because you got the wrong size.

Functions Of The Sink

People use the basin for different functions, which will influence the tap size. For example, if the basin is just for washing hands, getting a slight tap or one with a long spout is recommended. A long bathroom tap guarantees comfort for a bathroom sink in a higher position. 

The Water Pressure

Larger taps have better water flow, ideal for higher water pressure. If you get this tap with low water pressure, the water flow will be slow, yet you don’t have to go through this. You only need to have the right tap. 

The Size Of The Bathroom

You need to look at the bathroom size and the basin tap’s size. Small bathrooms need small taps, such as those with a swivel spout, because they are flexible and don’t take up much space. 

If the space around the sink is limited, you can opt for a wall-mounted tap. Most of these taps protrude 7 – 12 inches (17.78cm – 30.48cm) and must be installed above the basin at least 10 inches (25.4cm). Any lower, the water will splash all over the place, leaving a mess. 

If the bathroom doesn’t have sufficient space for the wall-mounted, you will need to consider another tap.

Taps with separate handles occupy more space, at least 4 inches (10.16cm) apart. These are ideal for large bathrooms. Otherwise, they will be too bulky for the bathroom. 

The basin tap should balance perfectly with the sink and the bathroom. The measurements of the basin will help you ensure the tap is just the right size for the bathroom. Fortunately, different bathroom tap sizes and designs fit all kinds of bathrooms. You’ll undoubtedly get the perfect fit.
