Tap Tools


As we supply all the tap fixings, it makes sense to offer our customers the tools to help make it easier to fit the taps.
We've introduced 2 different Tap Nut Spanners - one for 1/2" and 3/4" backnuts and the other for monobloc tap tails.
They are especially helpful when access to space is tight or when a tap is particularly hard to get to!

Delchem Ball Valves


Spares are what we're all about!
We are looking to expand our toilet and cistern spares to achieve the same quality of range as we offer for tap spares.
This means it needs to be a combination of range, depth of range, clear information, stock availability and expert knowledge and support.
We've expanded a lot today with the additions of ball valve spares, cisterns, and Delchem Adjustable Filling Valves
No doubt there'll be lots to learn as this range develops

Nursery School Taps


I love these new nursery school taps by Intatec.
They're cute, fun taps that encourage children to wash their hands and adopt good hygiene practices
As part of our school range, we also supply the mixing valves, spares and fixings required to go with the taps plus as always they're backed up by Notjusttaps superb customer service.
I know that's bragging but we really are superb!

Screw In Thermostatic Shower Cartridge

There are 2 sorts of replacement shower cartridges - push fit and screw in.
Our push fit seem to suit most makes but our screw in cartridge by Kerox doesn't.
Well that's been the case up till now anyway!
So at last we've introduced a new Standard Fit Screw In Thermostatic Cartridge that should be compatible with most brands that need a screw in cartridge
The only thing that still needs sorting is a decent photo but for now we're having to use our suppliers picture and it's not great!
It's on the website now and available from Monday!

Dental Taps & Sinks


To meet the urgent deadlines often requested for Dental Sinks & Taps , we offer a next working day service for orders received by Midday for all core dental products such as the Scandi stainless sinks and our Extended Lever basin tap (shown in the above picture) - the industry standard for elbow taps that is excellent value yet complies with all relevant standards including HTM64
And if goods are needed for the weekend we can even supply a Saturday delivery service if ordered in time on Friday.

MGM Taps

We're expanding the products we buy from MGM Taps!
Up till now we have used them for a selection of spares, but as their products offer such great value we will be offering a selection of bathroom & kitchen taps priced very competitively for customers on a very tight budget.
The nice thing is their service is so fast so we can respond to orders in days rather than weeks!

Gold Towel Racks

As a service to our customers we offer a gold plating service where any towel rack can be gold plated. These are plated and hand finished to order by Alpha Electroplaters of Sheffield.
However this involves a wait of up to 14 days so for customers who want something sooner, we have put into stock the Gedy Towel Racks supplied by Bathroom Origins in gold.
This is real gold (not a synthetic finish) so will be a quality match for bathrooms with gold taps or accessories.

We plan to launch by the end of July!

Making Adwords Work

Our marketing has relied primarily on a combination of SEO and customer recommendation with very little advertising.
Many customers came to us as 'they found us on the web' - Notjusttaps is a website that ranks well on the search engines.
There are loads of so called experts who claim to get you to the top of Google but the simple fact is there are 10 slots on the first page and thousands of sites fighting for one of those places so you can't guarantee a top slot.
We've found that the SEO basics do work - proper content, age of website, correct site layout and relevancy to the products you're selling - plus we we're too frightened to try anything incorrect in case we were penalised.
Having said the above, we've been giving Adwords a try and have found it to be incredibly effective for targeted products. We have been promoting our Tap Spares and have found that as these are products people are actively looking for, our conversion rate has been remarkably high (5-10%)
So do I recommend Adwords? Absolutely...but only as long as it promotes a core offer or need.
