FAQs

Freestanding bathtub fillers are independent units that stand alone beside the tub, while wall-mounted options are affixed to the wall and deck-mounted ones sit directly on the edge of the tub. Freestanding fillers offer a more dramatic visual impact and work well in larger spaces. Wall-mounted and deck-mounted options are generally more space-efficient and may be easier to install, as they don't require floor plumbing. 

Choosing the right filler for your bathtub involves considering the tub's style, the bathroom's overall aesthetic, and your plumbing setup. Compatibility is key, so ensure the filler's height and reach work with your tub. Features like hand-showers and water-saving tech can also sway your decision. Always consider the material and finish to ensure longevity and cohesion with your bathroom's design. 

Retrofitting an old bathtub with a new filler is possible but consult a plumber to assess your current setup. Plumbing compatibility is crucial, and you may need adapters or new supply lines. Also, ensure the new filler matches the hole configuration if you're replacing a deck-mounted unit. An upgrade can breathe new life into your tub, offering modern functions like hand-showers or temperature control.
