Holes for bath mixer taps All aspects of plumbing questions and answers, help, tips and information

Hello, I have a separate hot and cold tap in the bathroom and want to replace with a mixer tap. Is there a standard distance the holes are apart for a mixer tap as I don't know if a mixer will fit into the two holes that are there at the moment. Thanks for any help!

yes they are genarally a standard,i think its 150 mm from the centres
if you measure from the centre of your taps this measurement should be the same for the mixer if the mixer measurement is bigger than the taps that you have and the bath is acrylic then you may get away with making the holes fit the mixer
