Professional bath spout cover fitting - cushion hard metal taps to protect little heads during bath time. Quick to fit, could prevent a nasty injury.
Wet, Slippery, Hard Metal
Bath time combines slippery conditions with hard metal taps at head height. Children slip, lurch, and move suddenly. A spout cover turns a potential head injury into a harmless bump.
💡 Pro tip: Some spout covers change colour with water temperature too - warning you if the water's too hot before testing with your hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a spout cover do?
Cushions the hard metal tap so when children slip or move suddenly in the bath, they don't crack their head on solid metal. Simple but effective.
Don't they just slip off?
Quality covers grip securely and stay put during normal bath time. We fit covers that actually work, not pound-shop versions that fall off.
What about older taps?
Most spout covers are designed for standard bath taps. Very old or unusual taps might need different solutions. We'll advise on what works.
Are they worth it?
Head injuries in the bath are common - wet, slippery, hard surfaces, and children who move unpredictably. A cover costs less than an A&E trip.
