sure price will be a factor, but I can't believe it's a case of just
buying a really really expensive one in the hope it will be fine.

Had a similar experience with an unbranded shower rail from Screwfix
which quickly rusted away; I replaced it with an ebayed Mira one because
I knew they were reliable, and sure enough it has been.

Can you get a stainless steel one, rather than chrome? May not be as
shiny - but it shouldn't rust!

Failing that, you probably need chrome on brass rather than chrome on steel.
