Flick-mixers are the bees-knees of taps, everywhere! Other than to match a period decor, I don't understand, why anyone would want conventional taps anymore. Here's why: There is only *ONE* piece of tapware to clean per basin; they are quick and convenient to use, especially if you have frail hands, soapy hands, small hands, anything; you can set them to a certain position and then 'off' and 'on' them without having to re-locate your preferred temperature again; the flicker handle is positioned over the actual sink/basin, so wet hands drip into said basin and not on your counter-top. they come in plenty of stylish designs.

What's the window doing? If you do a window to the floor then a free stander will look awesome - cleaning factor? well, that ultimately depends on your opinion/priority/thoughts on that vs the aesthetic/look - that's the question you need to answer....& do you have a view out of your bathroom? If the window is a high level window then you could realistically go either way successfully....we seem to find freestanders are chosen more so than not, despite the cleaning behind factor..... my clients went for a freestander for this little bathroom and visually by just keeping it off the wall the tight space feels more open than it would have been with either a hob or back to wall. Just make sure you have enough room to get behind it to clean and all good :) PD

Some baths are more suited for shower baths than others. It depends on the flattish standing room at the bottom of the bath. Some baths are quite curvy and narrow. Make sure you stand in a showroom bath to see if it feels too narrow (without your shoes). You will need a four flange bath for tiling and waterproofing in your shower bath scenario. https://specify.caroma.com.au/products/baths/vivas/vivas-1675-anti-slip-bath Best of luck with your planning, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls/Dr Retro Virtual Visits

There are all ways pros and cons. My husband doesn’t like wall taps as they can leek into wall, but hey all showers have wall taps. Yes you drip water behind sink with a wall tap as happens with an undermount sink. But the base of tap doesn’t get grimy like a sink mounted tap. With a wall tap you may need a long spout to get over sink, as you do with an undermount sink if you have a bench mounted tap behind the sink. So many choices. Buy what you love.
