The ingenuity and innovation in each and every product sets them apart from other manufacturers.

It is this innovation that led to the creation of Vivenis, a bathroom tap that will wow you with a totally new sensation. Think natural waterfall – clear water flowing from a mountain spring. With its slender, curved spout the hansgrohe Vivenis tap emulates a gentle waterfall. The wide spray pattern from the tap will make even washing your hands feel like a moment of indulgence.

Moments of wellbeing at the washbasin

We all live hectic lives and there is little chance to take that relaxing shower or long soak in the bath. Even though it is rituals like these that help us to feel fresh and relaxed and ready to tackle each day. So why shouldn’t washing our hands be a moment for indulgence? Vivenis and its wonderful waterfall spray will give you that feel-good experience – a quick ‘time-out’ moment.

A timeless and elegant style

Vivenis is tasteful in design, the combination of the delicate handle with the wide, flat spout emphasises the natural simplicity of the tap. It uses AirPower technology from hansgrohe. AirPower enriches the water with air, which means the water spray feels luxurious and extraordinarily gentle. The waterfall stream creates gentle and full-bodied water droplets.

Vivenis is available for wash basins, bath tubs and showers. In three finishes: chrome, matt black and matt white.

Price Watch

Introducing UK Bathrooms Price Watch

In the current economic climate, prices are rising from month to month. Due to manufacturer’s costs increasing constantly, manufacturers are having to increase retail prices and pass some of the cost onto consumers. In some cases, this is often far higher than inflation. Here at UK Bathrooms, we are constantly watching prices and aim to offer some of the best pricing available in the UK.  

There is nothing worse than planning your new dream bathroom, adding everything to your basket and then when you are ready to purchase finding that some of the items you were hoping for now have increased in price by sometimes 20%. If budgets are tight it might mean that you cannot get exactly the bathroom you dreamed of.

UKB Price Watch has been set up to keep our customers informed of any planned changes to prices. As soon as we know, our customers will know.

Over the next few months, some brands have announced price increases between 2.5% and 20%. We’ve already added this information to our website, we’ll add others as and when we are notified.

If you have the space and you are planning a new bathroom in the next few months it may be worth purchasing now before any more price increases and storing goods until you are ready.

Our team will continuously chase manufacturers to get the latest in terms of planned price increases so we can let our customers know as quickly as possible.
