Radiator Valves UK: Chrome, White & Anthracite Picks

Swapping your radiator valves is one of the cheapest ways to freshen up a bathroom or hallway, and the finish you pick makes more difference than you might expect. Our Valves and Heating Elements collection has a range of 15mm radiator valves built around the Reina Portland style. Here are the five best sellers.

Our best-selling radiator valves

The Reina Portland Straight 15mm Chrome Finish Radiator Valves are £22 and suit radiators where the pipe comes up vertically from the floor. If your pipework comes out of the wall, the Reina Portland Angled 15mm Chrome Finish Radiator Valves are also £22.

Chrome is not the only choice. The Reina Portland Angled 15mm Brushed Finish Radiator Valves (£25) give a softer, satin look. For white radiators, the Reina Portland Angled 15mm White Finish Radiator Valves (£25) blend in rather than stand out. And if you have a black or grey radiator, the Reina Portland Angled 15mm Anthracite Finish Radiator Valves (£25) keep the look consistent.

How to choose the right radiator valves

Start with the pipe. Straight valves fit pipework rising from the floor, while angled valves suit pipes coming out of the wall or those that need a turn to meet the radiator. Check the connection size too: these are all 15mm, the common size in UK central heating.

Next, match the finish. Chrome pairs well with most bathroom fittings and towel rails. Brushed finishes hide fingerprints and water marks better. White and anthracite disappear into radiators of the same colour, which is useful for designer radiators where the valves are on show.

Matching valves to your radiator or towel rail

If you are replacing a radiator or adding a new one, choose valves at the same time. Browse our designer radiators and pick a valve finish that suits the radiator. Replacing old, tired valves is also a quick upgrade if you are not changing the radiator itself.
