Do brushed brass taps last the test of time?

When brushed brass colour taps started appearing in 2018/2019,

we were very suspicious as we are all old hands and remember the grief, we had with gold taps oxidising back the 80`s.

The manufacturers were not too sure either as they put only short warranty’s on the actual finish.

However, 7 years later and we sell loads of them to our local customers and we are in a very hard water area,

and so far, they have kept their look for certainly longer than we or the manufacturers thought.

This is mostly down the the much-improved processes used to plate taps in much more modern factories than we used in the 80`s.

So will these taps last, well so far so good as long as you stick to these two conditions.

1. Always buy your taps from an established main bathroom specialist brand, as then you can trust the manufacturing process.

2. Don`t use really acidic cleaners like CIF, try to use non bleach cleaners like Ecover on your taps and this will extend the life of them
