Kip is a Dorf range that spans taps, bathroom accessories, and showers, giving 13 products across three fitting types in one coordinated design. Rather than choosing separate ranges for your tapware, your towel rail or robe hook, and your shower, Kip lets you select matching fittings across all three from the one collection.
Why choose one coordinated range
The main advantage of a range like Kip is visual consistency. When taps, accessories, and shower fittings share the same design language and finish, the bathroom reads as a considered, unified space rather than a mix of separately chosen fittings. This matters most in bathrooms where multiple fitting types are visible together, such as around a vanity with a tap and nearby accessories, or where a shower and basin tapware sit within sight of each other.
Buying considerations by category
Taps
Check the tap type against your basin or benchtop, since basin taps, mixer configurations, and other tap styles have different fitting requirements. Confirm the number of tap holes your basin or benchtop has before ordering, as this determines which tap style will fit.
Bathroom accessories
Accessories such as robe hooks, towel rails, or holders are typically fixed to the wall, so check mounting requirements and confirm the wall type can support the fitting, particularly for anything that will bear regular weight like a towel rail.
Showers
Shower fittings need to be matched to your existing plumbing rough-in and shower configuration, so confirm compatibility with your current pipework or renovation plan before ordering, especially if you are replacing an existing shower rather than starting from scratch.
Who this range suits
Kip suits renovators who want to finish a bathroom with one consistent look across taps, accessories, and shower fittings rather than sourcing each fitting type separately. Because the range covers all three categories, it simplifies the selection process for anyone who wants a coordinated result without matching finishes across different brands or ranges.
Frequently Asked Questions
What fittings are included in the Dorf Kip range?
Kip spans three categories: taps, bathroom accessories, and showers, with 13 products across all three. This means you can select matching fittings for your tapware, accessories like robe hooks or rails, and your shower all from the one range.
Why would I choose a coordinated range instead of mixing brands?
A coordinated range like Kip keeps the finish and design consistent across every fitting in the bathroom, which gives a more unified look than mixing separate ranges. This is particularly noticeable in areas where multiple fitting types sit close together, such as a vanity with tapware and accessories.
How do I know which tap will fit my basin?
Check how many tap holes your basin or benchtop has, since this determines which tap configuration will fit. It is worth confirming this before ordering, particularly if you are renovating an existing vanity rather than starting from a new benchtop.
Can I use Kip shower fittings with my existing plumbing?
This depends on your current rough-in and shower configuration, so check compatibility before ordering, especially if you are replacing an existing shower. Confirming this with your plumber ahead of time avoids complications during installation.
Do the bathroom accessories need special wall fixing?
Accessories such as towel rails and robe hooks are wall mounted, so the wall needs to be able to support the fitting, particularly for anything that carries regular weight like a towel rail. It is worth checking your wall type before installation, especially in a renovation where wall linings may vary.
