Traps with bubbled and flaked-off chrome from the inside rot and sink drains and baskets with a light film of what looks like dirt. No problems and no leaks, but not far from both and much worse. My stuff and especially my future stuff is good for a solid century or very much more without anyone ever touching a single thing.
I get it though, you're about tried and truly flawed to justify a career. I'm about improvement and keeping buildings as new as possible and people's lives as free as they're willing to moronically accept. I know tons of morons that replace their or an entire kitchen or bath, just because it's 20-years or more old. Don't worry, there's a sea of stupid that will continue to embrace your work.
