Cassellie Bath Mixer Tap Easy Fix Fast Fit Kit with Quick Release Fittings (Chrome Brass)
Product description
If you’ve ever had to wrestle a bath mixer tap out for maintenance, you’ll know how quickly a “simple job” turns into a faff. The Cassellie Easy Fix Fast Fit kit is designed as a fitting solution for bath mixer taps, with quick release features aimed at making future servicing easier.
It’s not a new tap on its own, and it also isn’t a universal fix for every plumbing situation. But if you’re specifically looking for an Easy Fix Fast Fit approach with quick release fittings, this kit gives you the core components for a secure, stable setup.
The essentials
This kit includes two fixing kits made from chrome-plated solid brass, plus an Allen key. The idea is straightforward: you get proper fixings for your bath mixer tap so it sits firmly in place, and you also get a quick release mechanism to help with removal later without needing lots of extra tools.
On paper, that’s a sensible combination. Solid brass with a chrome finish is particularly relevant for bathroom environments where moisture and humidity are constant, and the quick release concept should reduce the hassle factor when access is needed.
There are two dimensions provided to help you assess fit around the collar and the cover area, which is handy when you’re trying to avoid a “looks close, but doesn’t work” scenario.
What you’ll notice in day-to-day use
The selling point here isn’t just the materials, it’s the practical day-to-day effect of better securing. Stable fixings are meant to keep the tap from shifting or moving, which matters because even small amounts of movement can make everything feel less solid over time.
And when maintenance comes around, the quick release design is there to make removal more manageable. Instead of treating every service like a major job, this approach is aimed at keeping repairs and upkeep simpler.
A small “micro-experience” example: imagine you need to check a seal or address a minor issue around the mixer. With a quick release fitting approach, you’re not left improvising with extra tools and guesswork about how it comes apart. You’re working with the intended release mechanism.
Key takeaways
It suits you best if you’re:
- Updating or replacing bath mixer tap fixings using an Easy Fix / Fast Fit style setup
- Looking for a quick release approach for easier future servicing
- Prioritising corrosion resistance in a damp bathroom setting, thanks to solid brass and chrome finish
It may not be the best match if:
- You’re not sure your existing tap collar and cover dimensions align with what’s listed
- You’re hoping this replaces a full tap unit (it’s a fixing kit, not a complete mixer tap)
- Your installation requirements are unusual or you’re missing details needed to confirm compatibility
Take note that “universal compatibility” is always based on the dimensions given, so checking those collar and cover dimensions against your tap situation is worth doing before you commit.
What matters most for compatibility
The kit is described as designed to fit most standard bath mixer taps, with these dimension cues:
- Collar size: 59 mm depth x 11 mm height
- Cover size: 55 mm depth x 67.5 mm height
If your tap’s collar and cover sit within those parameters, you’re more likely to get a straightforward fit. If they don’t, you may find yourself needing an alternative approach.

Care & maintenance
Brass with chrome should hold up well in a wet environment, but it still helps to keep it clean and dry where possible. Over time, water spots and bathroom grime can build up around fittings, a gentle clean routine can keep the finish looking better and also make future servicing more straightforward.
Should you buy it?
Buy it if you’re specifically looking for a bath mixer tap fixing solution that aims to be secure in use and easier to remove later via quick release. It’s the right kind of purchase for planned maintenance, a tidy replacement of existing fixings, or anyone who prefers not to overcomplicate repairs.
Don’t buy it if you need a replacement for a full bath mixer tap unit, or if you can’t reasonably check the collar and cover dimensions listed. In that case, you may end up with parts that look like they might fit, but don’t actually align with your current setup.
