Bathroom Taps - Gold effect

[AMO]

Where is the best place to get bathroom taps (for both bath and hand basin). Need one of those that extends into a shower.

B&Q don't seem to do any decent ones these days.

Thanx

I've never seen any sheds sell gold effect taps. They'll be about as popular as avocado baths.

I did have some gold bath and basin taps (brand new) and sold them for about a fiver on ebay. I've never seen gold mixer taps with a shower but I'm sure you can source them if you look hard enough but you'll probably pay a fortune. Personally I'd stick to a good old chrome finish.

Well, there ya go.

Only problem with em is the basin taps are a little smaller than I expected, and the bath taps proportionally larger than I expected (compared to the set that I replaced last year)

something, or what?

Gold effect taps are a no-no in hard water areas as limescale removers should not be used (and carry warnings to that effect).

The message from Helen Deborah Vecht contains these words:

They're a no-no on grounds of taste pretty well everywhere!
