It�s time again to fix that faucet. You�re sick of the �drip, drip, drip� from your bathroom sink that keeps you awake until all hours of the morning. It�s not the washer in the faucet itself that�s gone bad this time; it�s the whole apparatus. You go to Lowe�s or Home Depot and wind up staring at the huge selection before you slack jawed because you have no idea what to choose. You need help.
The first thing you need to do is decide if you want to replace your bathroom faucet with the exact same style as before or go for something new. Replacing your faucet with the same style is the easiest route to go. You can remove the faucet from your sink and bring it with you to your local hardware store where you can buy the matching replacement. Of course if this isn�t possible or even feasible, your chore becomes a bit more complicated. There are many different types of mounting for your faucet and you will need to be aware of what type yours is before simply going and purchasing the new fixture. This is actually the hardest step in choosing your new faucet because the one that you really liked at the store may not work with the current configuration of your sink.
Common types of mounting include: widespread faucets that have individual hot and cold water handles; centerset faucets with one handle that controls both temperatures and covers the three holes that may be in your sink for mounting; mini-widespread which are the same as widespread faucets except positioned closer together; single-hole, similar to the centerset but filing in only one hole; and wall mounted, most commonly found on your bathtubs. Centerset and mini-widespread faucets are both designed for sinks with pre-drilled 4� holes. Some single-hole faucets include covers that allow you to use them on a sink with 4� pre-drilled holes. If you have one of the other types, though, you are best in choosing that same replacement.
Once you have determined what type of mount your sink has, your job of choosing a faucet comes down to aesthetics. Which finish will look best in your bathroom? This really is your personal preference and what will compliment the d�cor in your bath. It is also good to know whether or not your current faucet is a classical design (rounded edges, flowery embellishments) or modern (sharp angles, geometric embellishments). For example, if your bathroom is more of an antique decor, you may want to stick with a classical style, an everyday d�cor could use either, and somewhat futuristic d�cor would definitely go well with the modern styles.
You�ve picked out the faucet. You�re ready to go home and install it. Not yet. Have you considered your faucet�s finish? Bathroom fixtures come in a variety of finishes, from dull to shiny, chrome to wrought iron. Each finish has its pros and cons. Stainless steel and chrome are the most common finish available, but they scratch easily and show up fingerprints and water spots. Brass, which simulates gold and is very distinctive, rusts easier. And brushed nickel, which includes your flat finishes that do not show your fingerprints, is more expensive and its plating will eventually wear. The finish is personal choice, but know your options. Some faucets even offer a choice in the style of handles that come with it. But once again, choose something that will be a good match for your bathrooms d�cor.
The only thing left now is to take your new faucet home and install it. And then enjoy the compliments you will get on this most basic of bathroom items.
