When homeowners or landlords decide to replace or repair the bathroom faucet, they should first know all there is to know about the previous bathroom faucet. Even if you buy the best bathroom faucets you can find, you would still need to know the mechanics of the bathroom sink.
Is there one, two or three holes in the sink? Do you just need to fix a leaky ball or do you need a complete replacement? Do the bathroom faucet reviews match the dream faucet pictured online? Should you go for the cheaper brand found online or in-home repair stores, or should you look for the best bathroom faucet brands that can last at least 10 years?
These are all reasonable questions while shopping for the best bathroom sink faucets, and your answers may not match the home of someone else. Even top rated bathroom faucets have a few critiques here and there. In the selections below, we look at the pros, cons and bathroom faucet features to help narrow your decision down to the most compatible version for your home.

Bathroom Faucet Buying Guide
Design & Finish
Whether you have no idea where to start or are trying to stay on-trend, popular design trends for bathroom faucets are usually brass, bronze, nickel and stainless steel. There are also polished and satin (i.e. brushed) versions of these common four materials.
So which one of the faucet reviews should do? It’s up to you whether you want to go with whatever popular interior design books and magazines tell you to do. But one thing that seems to remain consistent in these beautiful print magazine spreads and Pinterest is staying in the same metal family.
But what if the bathroom furniture is starting to rust or looks much older already? This may be when you should decide whether you want to reevaluate the metal choice in your entire bathroom. A brass finish medicine cabinet and a stainless steel faucet may look thrown together instead of a carefully thought-out decision.
While shiny chrome may be the most economical choice, a nickel faucet may look better in a more woodsy-looking bathroom. If you can, bring home a few “test” examples to see how this color and finish would look with your current bathroom aesthetics.
Maintenance
Even the cleanest bathroom can look poorly maintained if it’s not cleaned regularly. While there are plenty of multi-cleaners and eco-friendly options sold in stores, a mild detergent can also do the trick. For grimy areas in awkward spots, use a toothbrush or dental floss. And a regular dishrag is fine for cleaning off the main sink and faucet surfaces.
Once the cleaning is done and the water is drained, use a microfiber cloth to dry the area. (Yes, it may seem counterproductive to dry a faucet that’s going to get wet again, but air drying means you’d have to wait a little longer to see if there are still problem areas. Drying immediately allows you to know where more maintenance is needed.)
Additionally, if you purchase a glass faucet or a glass basin, you may have to dry water spots so rust and/or corrosion don’t build up on them. If they are not properly maintained, it can make an otherwise new faucet look much older entirely too fast.
While waterfall basins and faucets may seem like an incredible idea in spas, if you’re in a family home with small children, prepare for fingerprints and smudges. It’s not impossible to have both, but in younger years, it may require an extra amount of cleaning that isn’t necessary for industrial, more practical faucets (ex. stainless steel or some with chrome finish).
With glass faucets, keep in mind that it may not be a great idea to have heavier items (ex. big alcohol or peroxide bottles) in your medicine cabinet that can easily fall out and potentially damage the glass. A pill container simply won’t do the kind of damage that a full Listerine bottle will. So not only should maintenance for your actual faucet be taken into consideration, but also be cognizant of the surrounding area.
Size & Installation
Unless you plan on making an hourlong job longer than it normally would, stick to finding a faucet with the same number of holes that you have. For example, if there is one hole in the sink or counter, purchase a single hole bathroom faucet sink. If there are three roles, confirm how far apart these holes are from the center hole. Make sure the faucet you purchase also has a minispread or centerset option that has these measurements, too.
For some faucets, specifically waterfall ones, you may have to drill an additional hole to make the base fit. Pay special attention to how much space is needed between the wall and the actual faucet. For more general faucets, this may be a non-issue. But for faucets with wider “necks” or handles that are thicker and require a wider gap to turn, the wall-to-faucet ratio must be met in order to take the most advantage of your new faucet.
Keeping these installation requirements in mind before the purchase will also ensure that you won’t spend more time cleaning up splashes from a too-small sink or a too-narrow wall design as well.
How to Fix a Leaky Faucet
If you decide you want to repair your original faucet instead of buying a new one (or before you are sure you need a new one), you must first turn off the water supply. The valves are usually under the sink. You’ll know you twisted them the right way by the pressure when turning. If you think you have successfully turned off the water, still test and make sure by turning the hot and cold water to see if water comes out. If it does, twist the valves the other way.
A faulty stem is usually the cause of most leaks. While newer faucets may come with a replacement stem just in case, you may have to do a bit of shopping around to find one that fits your current faucet. Ask a hardware professional or make sure to hire an experienced plumber or handyman who is pretty familiar with this kind of job.
Keep in mind though if your hired professional is charging the same amount of work for a new faucet to repair your current older faucet, the latter one may give again. Consider how long you’ve had the older version and if it’s worth it. If it’s already older than eight years, chances are you’re going to hit that 10-year max in no time. You may as well just start fresh and new.
Fixing a leaky faucet immediately will also eliminate corrosion and rust, which could lead to bigger issues down the line if left unchecked. Some of the sinks mentioned above use less water than industry standards. While water damage could happen to any faucet that is not properly taken care of, finding an eco-friendly faucet that keeps water usage in mind can significantly reduce your electricity bill. Of course, turning off the water when not in use (ex. brushing your teeth or shaving) can also work wonders for excess water usage. Be cognizant of your own water habits already before investing in a new faucet or fixing your own.
Bottom Line
With the information above to guide you through whether you should replace your current bathroom faucet or buy a new one, it’s up to you to decide what works best. We’ve completed the best bathroom faucet reviews so now it’s up to you! If you’re a renter or a homeowner who is unclear about how old the bathroom faucet is, you may want to err on the side of caution. You’re already moving into a place with someone else’s used supplies. Here’s an opportunity for you to know when and how long your bathroom faucets (or any home appliance), and be able to redesign the bathroom to fit your style.
The size, color and metal options are negotiable. But you must become familiar with your sink before doing anything. Don’t end up with water damage trying to replace a faucet that was already at risk of water damage. And make sure you have received all the parts that come with the faucet or purchase any extra parts before this project starts. By the time it’s done, you should be frantic to wash your hands for at least the first week or two.
