reducing the pressure for a bathroom mixer tap

[thejarv]

ok here is the issue

had a new bathroom fitted and the basin has a bristan mixer tap. the tap works fine but when the tap is opened fully the water hits the basin and splatters everywhere. Is there a way to restrict the flow/pressure to the tap so that this does not happen?

being heavy handed every time i seem to touch the tap i open it up fully and is making a right mess!!

Close the isolating valve a bit.

thought that. would that create pressure in the valve or would that have any other side affects?

Nope, won't cause any other problems.

Ball valves are noisy when not fully open.

Never noticed myself.

Worth op trying the no cost option first.

take out the cheap iso valve you have and fit a full bore good quality one, i have the same issue at my house and i've closed the valve about 70% and no noise what so ever, you could even use the olives and nuts that are there so just change the body,
