Wall Mounted Soap Dispensers

A wall mounted soap dispenser fixes to the wall above your basin instead of sitting on it, which frees up the counter and stops a bottle getting knocked into the sink. You fill it with your own liquid soap and press the pump, so it suits a busy family bathroom or a cloakroom where space is tight.

We stock single and double versions, in finishes from white and chrome to black, brushed brass and brushed bronze, so you can match one to the rest of your bathroom accessories or pick a matt black finish to tie a darker scheme together. The honest bit: wall mounting means drilling and fixing, so it is a slightly bigger job than a free-standing pump, but you only do it once.

What to look for in a wall mounted soap dispenser

Most of the decision comes down to three things: single or double, the finish, and whether you are happy to drill. Get those right and the rest is detail.

Single or double. This is the first call, and it is purely about what you put in it. A single has one chamber, so it holds one product: hand soap, or washing-up liquid in a kitchen or utility. It is the neater option and the right pick for a small cloakroom. The Mini Chic Single Wall Mounted White Soap Dispenser at £23.99 is a clean, no-fuss matt white unit for exactly this.

A double has two chambers and two pumps, so you can run hand soap and hand lotion, or soap and sanitiser, from one fitting. It is the better choice over a family basin where more than one thing lives by the sink. The Mini Chic Double Wall Mounted White Soap Dispenser at £24.99 is the two-chamber version of the same range and only a pound more than the single, so the two match if you want one in the bathroom and one in the ensuite. If you searched for a “double wall mounted soap dispenser” specifically, that is the format you want.

Finish: match it to your taps. A soap dispenser is small, but a mismatched finish next to your taps stands out, so pick the finish first and the model second. White is the safe choice in a plain white bathroom, where it disappears against the wall or tiles, and the Mini Chic Single at £23.99 is the lowest-priced dispenser in this guide. Chrome is the easy “goes with everything” pick if your taps and shower are chrome: the Alpha Chrome Wall-Mounted Soap Dispenser at £24.99, the same price as the Mini Chic Double, sits well with chrome brassware.

Brushed brass and brushed bronze are the warmer metal looks. If your taps are brass, the Brushed Brass Wall-Mounted Hand Soap Dispenser at £29.99 matches them and has a rust-resistant finish. For brushed bronze, the Litchfield Purity Brushed Bronze Wall-Mounted Hand Soap Dispenser at £34.99 is the priciest dispenser in this guide, and it has the spec to back that up: a solid brass build, fixings in the box and a 5-year guarantee.

Black suits a modern dark scheme, and the matt black accessories range is the place to bring the towel rail and the rest of the room into line with it. Whatever the finish, the trick is to match the dispenser to your taps, not your tiles. Taps are the thing your eye lands on at the basin.

Fitting: what wall mounting actually involves. This is the honest trade-off versus a bottle that just sits on the side. A wall mounted unit needs fixing to the wall, which usually means drilling, plugging the holes and screwing it in place. On a tiled wall you will want a tile or masonry drill bit and a steady hand near the grout lines. None of it is hard, but it is a job, and once it is up it is up.

Check what is in the box before you buy. The Litchfield Purity includes fixings and the Brushed Brass comes with all the components you need to put it up, but for the other models it is worth checking the product page before you order. Mount the dispenser within easy reach of the basin, high enough that your hand clears the tap. And if you genuinely cannot or do not want to drill (a rental, for instance), a wall mounted unit is the wrong format and a free-standing pump on the counter is the easier answer. We are not going to pretend otherwise.

Refilling. These are refillable pump dispensers, so there are no cartridges to buy: you pour in your own liquid soap and reuse the dispenser. The Litchfield Purity, for one, pairs a smooth pump with an easy refill design. For a small bathroom a single is usually plenty, while over a busy family basin a double replaces two bottles on the side with one fitting.

Quick answers

What is a wall mounted soap dispenser? It is a soap pump that fixes to the wall above your basin rather than standing on the counter. You fill it with your own hand soap, since they are refillable rather than cartridge-based, and press the pump when you need it. The point of wall mounting is a clear counter and one less bottle to knock into the sink.

Are wall mounted soap dispensers hard to fit? Not hard, but it is a proper little job rather than putting a bottle down. You drill and plug the wall, then screw the dispenser in place, so on a tiled wall you will want a tile or masonry drill bit. What comes in the box varies by model: the Litchfield Purity includes fixings and the Brushed Brass includes all the components for setup, so check the product page for anything else. If you do not want to drill at all, a free-standing pump is the better format.

What is the best wall mounted soap dispenser for a small bathroom? For a small bathroom or cloakroom, a single dispenser keeps it neat and takes up the least wall, like the Mini Chic Single in white at £23.99. Wall mounting is itself the space-saver here, because it gets the soap off a tight counter. Only go double if you actually need a second product, like hand lotion, by the basin.

Can I get a double wall mounted soap dispenser? Yes. A double has two chambers and two pumps in one unit, so you can run hand soap and lotion, or soap and sanitiser, from the same fitting. The Mini Chic Double in white at £24.99 is the two-pump version, and it matches the single if you want both around the house.

What finishes do wall mounted soap dispensers come in? White, chrome, black, brushed brass and brushed bronze across our range. Match the finish to your taps rather than your tiles, since the brassware is what your eye lands on at the basin. The Alpha Chrome at £24.99 suits chrome taps, while the Brushed Brass at £29.99 and the Litchfield Purity Brushed Bronze at £34.99 cover the warmer metal looks.

Do wall mounted soap dispensers come with fixings? It depends on the model. The Litchfield Purity includes fixings, along with a 5-year guarantee, and the Brushed Brass includes all the components you need for setup. For anything else, check the individual product page before you buy. You will also want a tile or masonry drill bit if you are fixing into tiles.

Are these refillable or do they use cartridges? Refillable. You top them up with your own liquid hand soap, so there is nothing proprietary to keep buying and the running cost is basically the price of your soap.
