Roca Under £200
At this budget Roca shines — you get reliable ceramic-disc cartridges, decent chrome and clean modern designs (The Gap, L20). Excellent value, especially across multiple taps.
Grohe Under £200
Grohe's entry ranges (Start, BauEdge, Eurosmart) bring SilkMove cartridges and StarLight chrome even at the budget end — that smoother feel and durable finish you expect from the brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you get a good bathroom tap under £200?
Absolutely. Both Roca and Grohe offer reliable, good-looking taps with quality ceramic-disc cartridges well under £200.
Is a cheap tap a false economy?
Very cheap unbranded taps often fail or stiffen within a couple of years. A budget tap from Roca or Grohe is reliable and serviceable — far better long-term value.
