Which tub spout do you prefer? Or should I find something else?

Cassidy:

Or Lahara:

All other fixtures pictured have been purchased.

I’m trying to keep costs down. Tub spouts are expensive!

What does the tub look like & where will spout be positioned relative to tub? Looks wise, I think either tub faucet works with the rest of the fixtures you show

The tub is just a plain white alcove tub with white tile. Spout is on the wall with the shower head and valve control. Small bathroom.

@kelli_ga based on your description of tub either faucet will work & both complement the sink faucet.Pick the one that feels best to you.

Thank you everyone.

Cassidy in profile looks really slender and wavy.

I really wanted to find a $20-30 tub spout that I didn’t hate (and got good reviews). It’s hard. I saved money on the shower trim kit, but it looks like I will be spending it on the tub spout. It will be behind a shower curtain most of the time. The diverter must be reliable and the connection must not break. I found a metal slip-on that looked like lahara with great reviews, but it uses a set screw (presumably) which could be problematic. I don’t want to have to call a plumber to fix a pipe that may have a dent. I’m OK with plastic but I hate to pay a lot for it.

Right now I’m leaning toward delta because I read they have a connection that is more versatile and reliable maybe? Something about a gasket and screw on adapter? (I don’t remember exactly so don’t quote me.) I had a lahara tub spout before and had no problems with it.

Who knew tub spouts could be so involved? (Plumbers, I guess.)

I going to keep looking. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

This one I like. Bancroft. It uses a set screw which I was trying to stay away from.

$90 yikes! I have to find profile pics.

OK, I ordered the bancroft. Found a coupon that brings the price down to be comparable to the others. Guess I’ll try the set screw installation. At least it’s metal.

Thank you for your help!

How is the flow from the Bancroft spout? I just had a Lahara installed and I am not loving the way the stream of water seems to be broken up by a plastic piece inside the spout. I, too, am looking to replace! Thx!
