I don't want ebay bargain basement, but can't decide between these two.
Any experience of these or the brands? Ta.

I repair a lot of taps, working for a letting agency.
The Swirl ones are okay but you won't get spare parts if needed in the future.
Bristan are a British company and easy to get bits for.

The pull out spouts are a waste of time
The plastic ferrule starts to wear and the head comes loose as a result, also when the sleeve wears water can leak past and drip under the sink

Cheers guys. I've gone for a swirl version without the pullout from screwfix. It looks identical to the one I've already got and that's lasted 6 years, so hopefully this will do similar service.
