Bath mixers are available in a range of sleek modern style to compliment today's bathrooms. Two taps with a common spout is known as a mixer. The hot and cold water merges within the bath mixer, as both taps are usually fed from a cistern. Most bath mixers are two-hole types that fit into a standard two-hole sink; one for the hot tap and one for the cold. Some bath mixers, however, need three holes, a center hole for the spout and some only one.

The various types of bath mixers include wall mounted bath mixers, floor mounted bath mixers and deck-mounted bath mixers. Bath mixers sometimes have a shower attachment with a control knob that diverts the water flow from the spout to the shower sprinkler.
