Brands in Focus: Bower

If your dream kitchen is all clean lines, clever tech and zero faff, Bower is the name to remember.

If you’ve ever tried to kit out your kitchen with everything but the kitchen sink, Bower is the brand that quietly asks, “Why not both?”. This is the range that really does cover it all, from instant boiling taps and sleek mixers to hardworking bowls and the small matching extras that make the whole space feel finished.

Imagine stepping into a kitchen that feels modern and tailor made for you. Worktops clear. Tap doing half your morning routine for you. Sink big enough for Sunday roasting trays yet smart enough for weekday life. That’s Bower. Innovative kitchen technology wrapped in modern, streamlined design, so everyday brewing, rinsing, soaking and scrubbing feels less like a chore and more like a smooth little ritual.

Meet Bower: Clever Kitchens, Every Day

Bower isn’t a shouty, look-at-me brand. It’s more “Oh wow, this feels really nice to use…what brand is it again?”

At the heart of the range is a simple idea: innovative kitchen tech wrapped in sleek, modern design. You get the practical stuff you actually need. Solid build, smooth handles, sensible spout heights - plus finishes that earn their place in an open plan kitchen.

Chrome, brushed brass, matt black, composite sinks, classic ceramic…Bower gives you enough choice to match your existing kitchenware or build a completely new look from the tap upwards.

Bower Kitchen Taps: Everyday Heroes

Bower kitchen taps are where most people start - and for good reason. They’re the bits you’ll touch dozens of times a day, so they need to feel as good as they look.

Sleek Single Lever Mixers

If you like a clean, contemporary look, the single lever mixers are your sweet spot.

Picture the Bower Matt Black Single Lever Kitchen Tap with Pull Out Spray on a pale quartz worktop. The matt black finish adds instant drama, while the pull-out spray quietly does the hard work - rinsing salad leaves, blasting crumbs out of baking trays and filling tall vases without splashback chaos.

For something a touch softer, the Bower Ontario C-Spout Single Lever Mixer in brushed stainless has that café-kitchen feel - curved spout, single handle, easy to wipe down. It’s the kind of tap that looks at home with everything from metro tiles to slab-front units.

Love a Scandi leaning scheme? The Bower Neptune White Single Lever Mixer with Swivel Spout brings a crisp, white accent to the sink area. The white lever on a chrome body feels light and fresh, especially against timber worktops or soft grey cabinets.

Classic Dual Lever Charm

If your kitchen leans more cottage than city loft, Bower still has you covered.

The Bower Dual Lever Traditional Kitchen Tap in polished chrome delivers that classic crosshead handle silhouette - perfect with a Belfast or inset ceramic sink. It looks like it’s always been there, just with smoother action and modern internals.

For something with a bit more warmth, the Bower Trafalgar Dual Lever Mixer Tap in Antique Brass channels heritage style. That swan neck spout and aged brass tone sit beautifully with shaker doors, tongue-and-groove panelling and checkerboard floors.

And if you like your classic look with a modern twist, Bower's Traditional Brushed Brass Kitchen Tap with Undersink Water Purifier hides a bonus: built-in filtration for cleaner drinking water straight from the spout.

Crosshead Taps with Proper Character

If you’re all about that “timeless but not twee” look, Bower’s crosshead taps are where things get really satisfying. This is the part of the range that feels like it was lifted from a classic cook’s kitchen, then quietly upgraded with modern internals and sensible pressure ratings.

The Britannia Classic Mono Sink Mixer is the easiest way in. In chrome it looks crisp and traditional without feeling fussy; in brushed nickel or antique brass it leans warmer and more vintage. The proportions are spot on for a Belfast or inset ceramic sink, with that high, arched spout that makes filling stockpots, vases and roasting trays feel simple rather than like a full-body workout.

If you’ve always loved the look of a bridge tap, Bower’s Britannia Classic Bridge Sink Mixer range gives you that proper period silhouette without the scary price tag. Chrome is the go-to if you want a bright, heritage feel, while brushed brass and brushed nickel nod to country kitchens, checkerboard floors and heavyweight chopping boards left out on show. Two tap holes, crosshead handles, and a generous spout projection mean it looks and works exactly how you want a “real” kitchen tap to.

For something even more old-school, the Traditional Kitchen Bib Taps with Upstands are made for wall-mounted set-ups over a deep ceramic or stainless sink. Chrome feels classic, antique brass and brushed brass bring instant warmth, and the matt black option adds a contemporary twist for shaker kitchens that still like a bit of edge. The matching Traditional Wall Mounted Bib Taps echo the same look where you don’t need the upstands, keeping everything neat and cohesive along the splashback.

Behind the nostalgia, everything is quietly practical: options for one or two tap holes, projections that actually clear big pans, and models rated for low, medium and high pressure so they work just as well in older homes as they do in brand-new builds. In short, if you want your kitchen tap to look like it has always belonged there, but behave like it was made this year, Bower’s crosshead collection absolutely earns its place.

Boiling & Filter Taps: Kettle-Free Living

If there’s one thing that turns a good kitchen into a “please never make me move house” kitchen, it’s a boiling water tap. Bower’s hot and filter taps are all about speed, safety and a cleaner kitchen worktop.

3-in-1 & 4-in-1 Instant Hot Taps

If the kettle is always in the way, Bower’s instant boiling taps are the upgrade that quietly changes how your kitchen works. One neat tap, one compact tank in the cupboard, and you suddenly have boiling, hot and cold water ready when you are.

The Bower 3-in-1 Instant Boiling Water Tap in Chrome is the starting point. You get standard hot and cold plus filtered boiling water from a single spout, with the boiler and filter tanks tucked out of sight in the unit below. Worktops stay clear, pans fill faster, and your old kettle becomes more decorative than essential. Prefer a moodier look? The same idea comes in Matt Black, which looks brilliant against pale worktops and darker cabinets.

From there, things get clever. The Bower Biometric Control 3-in-1 Instant Boiling Water Tap in Brushed Gold takes the usual instant hot tap idea and adds fingerprint recognition and digital boiler control. In practice that means the boiling function only responds to authorised fingertips, so there are no accidental blasts of steaming water when little hands are helping at the sink. Under the counter, a fast-heat 2.4 litre boiler and integrated filtration system keep the hot drinks and cooking water flowing, while the single lever mixer and swivel spout feel reassuringly solid in daily use. The same biometric design comes in Chrome, Matt Black, Brushed Brass and 4-in-1 versions, so you can match it to whatever hardware you already have in the room.

If you want every option in one place, the 4-in-1 range steps in. The Bower 4-in-1 Instant Boiling Water Tap in Brushed Brass gives you boiling, regular hot, regular cold and chilled filtered drinking water from one fitting. It’s ideal if you drink a lot of tea, coffee and squash, or if you are trying to encourage everyone to refill bottles from the tap instead of the fridge. 

For a more streamlined, modern look, the 4-in-1 Instant Boiling Water Tap with Chiller is available in finishes like Matt Black, Chrome, Brushed Steel, Brushed Copper, Brushed Gold, Gun Metal and Brushed Brass, so you can go full statement or keep things quietly coordinated.

Filtered Water On Tap

There's also a sweet spot for anyone who loves filtered water but isn't bothered about boiling on tap. Designs like the Alberta and Traditional filter taps pair a classic or contemporary mixer with an undersink purifier, so you get everyday hot and cold plus a separate filtered cold outlet for cleaner drinking water. It's a simple way to upgrade how your kitchen works without changing your whole routine.

Bower also offers dedicated undersink water purifier units and replacement boiling water carbon filter cartridges (in handy 2- or 4-packs), so you can keep everything running smoothly for the long term. Swap cartridges periodically, enjoy cleaner drinks, and retire the plastic bottles from your weekly shop.

Taken together, the Bower boiling and filter taps cover almost every kitchen scenario. Quick cuppas, pasta water, baby bottles, big batch cooking, iced drinks - straight from the tap. You choose the finish and the function mix, Bower does the hard work behind the scenes.

Kitchen Sinks That Do the Heavy Lifting

Taps may steal the spotlight, but the sink is the real workhorse. Bower’s kitchen sink range covers everything from cosy cottage kitchens to big, busy family spaces.

Belfast & Ceramic Sinks

If you’re a fan of that timeless farmhouse look, Bower's Double Bowl White Ceramic Sink is hard to beat. Two generous bowls mean you can soak pans on one side while rinsing veg on the other, and the chunky ceramic lip looks fantastic with traditional brass or chrome taps.

It’s the kind of sink that suits a kitchen where cooking happens properly - Sunday roasts, baking days, endless cups of tea. Pair it with wooden worktops, a warm metallic tap and you’ve basically built a Pinterest board in real life.

Stainless Undermounts & Statement Shapes

For smaller spaces or modern flats, Bower’s stainless steel undermounts keep things clean and practical.

The Bower 550 x 450mm Stainless Steel 1.0 Bowl Undermount Sink is a brilliant all-rounder: big enough for roasting trays, discreet enough to let the worktop material shine. It’s ideal for open-plan kitchens where you want the sink to function beautifully without screaming for attention.

If you need a bit more juggling space, the Bower 750 x 440mm Stainless Steel 2.0 Bowl Undermount Sink gives you two bowls without dominating the run of units - perfect for keen cooks or households that always seem to be mid-way through three recipes at once.

For something more playful, the Bower 490mm Round Stainless Steel Sink adds a circular moment to an otherwise straight-lined kitchen. It’s great as a main sink in a small kitchen, or as a prep sink on a kitchen island alongside a larger main bowl.

Composite & Coloured Options

If you like your sink to feel a little more “furniture” and a little less “utility”, composite is your friend.

The Bower 1.0 Bowl Matt Grey Composite Sink with Chrome Waste brings a soft, mid-grey tone into the kitchen. It’s subtle but different, especially with black, white or timber cabinetry. The matt finish plays nicely with brushed metals and textured tiles, and it’s tough enough to handle everyday knocks.

Across the wider range you’ll also find deeper charcoal composites and glass-fronted stainless designs - ideal if you’re building a more dramatic, design-led cooking space with black taps and bold surfaces.

Tap & Sink Accessories: The Finishing Touches

Once the big pieces are chosen, Bower gets quietly helpful with the little details that make your kitchen feel finished.

There are single bowl and double bowl sink plumbing kits to take the guesswork out of the under-sink setup. Pick the right pack, fit it, and you’re not rummaging around for random connectors at the last minute.

Up top, you can coordinate wastes and overflows with your tap finish. Love warm tones? A Bower Universal Brass Sink Waste or Rose Gold Strainer Waste gives a tiny flash of colour every time you drain the sink. More into monochrome? A Chrome Basket Strainer with Overflow keeps things clean and simple, and is easy to replace if life (or cutlery) happens.

If you’ve gone for a boiling or filtered tap, those boiling water carbon filter cartridges and purifier housings keep your setup running sweetly behind the scenes. It’s the less-than-glamorous bit of the project, but future-you will be very grateful every time the water tastes just right.

Who Is Bower Right For?

Short answer: pretty much anyone who wants their kitchen to work properly without losing its style.

Bower is a great fit if you:

• Want designer looking taps and sinks without the eye-watering price tag.
• Fancy instant boiling water but still want a finish that suits your kitchen.
• Need reliable, family-friendly kit that can handle daily life.
• Love the idea of matching taps, sinks and accessories for a pulled-together look.

From first-time buyers upgrading a basic builder’s kitchen to seasoned renovators planning a full redesign, there’s something in the Bower range that will quietly raise your everyday game.

Design Your Kitchen With Bower

Whether you’re planning a weekend tap swap or a full rip-out-and-start-again project, Bower gives you a solid foundation: good looking taps, hardworking sinks and all the accessories to tie everything together.

Start with the way you live - endless cups of tea, batch cooking, cocktail nights, family chaos - then build a Bower combo around it. Maybe that’s a Belfast sink with an antique brass mixer in a cosy, character kitchen. Maybe it’s a matt black boiling tap over a slim stainless undermount in a small flat. Either way, you get a kitchen that feels thought through, not thrown together.
