so, you fit a white ceramic or composite sink,

surely you want white taps (as I had previously), not chrome (or any
other
metal finish)

Does anyone sell white taps anymore?

like bugger they do


Our friends have a white mixer tap. It hasnt aged well. Just looks
grubby
now.##

As do the chrome ones if you don't descale them - *frequently*

However hard the white ones are to keep clean, the chrome ones are 10
times harder

The quality coloured ones are OK but I'm not sure you'll find those in
the sheds. When we bought the current house, it had a brown sink and
taps. Senior management hated it, plus we needed to swap the kitchen
units around, so I replaced it, putting the brown sink in the garage.
Its been there 20+ years- used for DIY type sink stuff*. The taps have
stood up very well. While I clean them, not to 'kitchen standards', I'm
pretty sure they would clean up almost like new. They must be some good
make, I dread to think what getting spares will be like if they start
leaking.

*paint, cleaning up after working on cars, clean up after making PCBs,
