Bathroom taps incl. bidet mixer
 
Looking to replace the taps in our bathrooms but having a few problems finding suitable sets which include a bidet mixer. It's not essential that the sets match exactly but one set will need 2 single basin taps, the bidet mixer and bath shower/mixer whilst the other set will need 4 basin taps plus a bath mixer. The other thing to bear in mind is that we have a pressurised hot water system so they need to be suitable for that.

Having had a few issues with ceramic cartridge taps, we're looking for a reliable make for which spares will be available and at a reasonable price. I've seen some cheapish well known brand taps but spare cartridges cost more than the taps lol. We're looking for something quite modern but want to avoid flat/square chromed surfaces which are a magnet for limescale. The example shown below from the Screwfix catalogue is the sort of thing we'd like. A major issue so far is finding a range which includes the bidet mixer and a bath shower mixer in which the flexible hose is on the top of the tap not the bottom. Ideally we'd be looking to spend up to £400 but would like it to be less as you'd expect. ;)

TIA as always.

Taps are a rip-off. I've seen basic tap sets for £500!!!

Yup, the prices do seem high for what they are. Having looked around a bit more, it's impossible to find a bidet mixer as part of a reasonably priced set of the right sort of style. Has everyone gone off bidets? :confused:
