Replacing Quarter turn taps

    I have a basin with two "Classic" quarter turn taps which appears to be fairly out of fashion, as I've found it difficult to get modern replacements. A thought I had was to replace them with something like this

    The question I have is, is the distance between the single taps the same as this mixer tap ? i.e. are they standard distances ?

    Sorry I made a mistake there. You put up a photo of bath taps so I thought it was a bath. Can you put up a photo of your basin

    It actually is a basin tap

    but I notice on the spec that the centre to centre width is 180mm, whereas mine looks like 200mm.

    shocking price for a set of basin taps.

    if the centers are different obviously they wont fit,was there no taps to your taste available?

    The problem is that the most popular are the one hole basins, and of the two hole options the old style Crosshair type is the majority of what is available. However, I think I might have found a modern set of Quarter turns, where the water comes out at an angle.....and only €45 for the set !
