As an aside, I often see the copper feeds to sinks, basins etc earth
bonded, with flexibles connecting to the taps. Would this earth the taps?

The "earthing" of the taps is irrelevant. If the copper pipe work that
supplies the flexis is correctly bonded then the taps will be fine. There is
no way the taps can become live.
