Can't find any taps! 100mm spaced holes

[Aviz]

I have a vanity unit in my new house. The flow from the taps is a trickle! I understand this is because they are designed for high pressure (the flexi pipes are tiny).

Simple job to replace i thought! Seems not.

In this pic, you can see the taps, with a standard mixer i have bought for another sink (single hole).




I cannot for the life of me find any taps to fit. The sink has 3 holes. The outer 2 appear to be approximately 100mm apart.

Google is not helping me either. Anyone any ideas?

If not, i need to buy a whole new vanity unit, as the sink is specifically shaped to this one.

Cheers

Two singles and a chrome plug for the middle hole.

Then 15mm straight through to bottom of each tap.

OR

Dump the flexi pipes and 15mm straight to the existing tap,although it could be the tap design which is part of the flow problem.

Thanks, i may try swapping out the 15mm to start with, but a mixer is a must! I can;t stand washing my hands without one.

I suppose the other option would be to put 2 blanks in, and use the centre hole for a mixer like the other one in the photo ?

Try unscrewing the spray nozzle and look to see if it is blocked.

Or one blank and a soap dispenser?

Thanks to all for the advice. I tried the blan optiion, but the centre hole is too small to get the fixings through for a single mixer (the other tap in the photo) . I have considered using a diamond tipped hole cutter to make it bigger, but i suspect this will end in disaster. I'm not actually that bothered about the sink if i cracked it, but i'd rather not replace it until i do the whole bathroom properly.

I am considering the 3 hole basin option now. It's only for a short period until we refit the bathroom with posh stuff, so i think i'm willing to take a punt on these.

Dont see whay it should be any different from the one sold at £100+ at a blumbing merchant. IT may have some manufacturing defects or cosmetic defects that may not be noticable at first. But dont see why it should not be upto standard

Thanks, but in the end i ripped out the unit from downstairs, and stuck it in the upstairs bathroom to replace the one i had the problem with. An excuse to re-do the downstairs wc with some fancy new furniture

Have you taken them out, or did you find somewhere to source them ?
