Mixer Taps

[Barryhol]

I want to install a mixer tap in the bathroom but am concerned about hot and cold water pressures.
I have a combi boiler and the hot water pressure is slightly lower than the cold. Mains pressure is about 3 bar.
Will I be better of installing a kitchen ‘mixer’ as I understand these have separate hot and cold outlets within the spout?
Are all kitchen mixers of this design as there appears to be a huge range in price?

stick with a bathroom mixer.
it will be ok they are both supplied off the mains.
kitchen mixer in the bathroom will look stupid.

Thanks very much for the advice. I should have explained that the bathroom basin will be the free standing type. I will therefore need a tall 'kitchen type' tap mounted on the supporting surface. A kitchen type tap should not look that much out of place.

I would compare both flowrates, if neccessary restrict the higher with a valve.

I think the kitchen sink tap you plan might not look great, would it be possible to fit wall mounted controls with spout coming from the wall ?.

I'm not sure that I understand why you guys are so concerned about the appearance of a kitchen mixer in this situation. I'm thinking of fitting a Bristan Chill Monobloc Sink Mixer which seems very much like the bathroom version i.e. the Bristan Chill Tall Basin Mixer and is a bit cheaper.
