One of the easiest ways to update a bathroom is by changing your sink faucet. It will also help prevent leaks and save money since many of the newer models have a lower water flow than old designs.
Your first step is to determine the type of faucet you need to buy. You will have to find out what kind of faucet will work with your sink based on the number and size of holes. A one-hole sink will require a single-hole faucet where the hot and cold water come from the same handle. A sink with three holes will have a separate handle for hot and cold water and one for the spout. You will need to measure the size of the holes to match it to the correct size faucet.
You will then need to select the design you want for your new faucet. You will find touchless models, ones where all both handles and spout attach to a base, and others where all three sections are separate.
Once you know which design suits your bathroom style, you will have to decide what finish you want. Brushed satin nickel and oil-rubber bronze are two of the most popular styles today while chrome is an affordable choice that is always in style.
You can also buy a watersaving set that will help you save money on your water bill. Many sets have a water flow of 1.5 gallons per minute to reduce the amount of water used. If you are concerned about choosing the right faucet for your bath sink, ask a plumber for their recommendations.
