What make / model of tap?

Conventional tap or quarter turn ceramic cartridge?

Is this a dedicated shower valve, or a bath tap with shower, or a three
way shower valve that can also function as a bath filler?

Hard water area?

How old is it approx?

High or low pressure water system?

any way into the tap. Image attached. Just metal/plastic.

What were you expecting it to be made from?

I had some like that - they were supposed to be held on by steel
spring clips but everything had corroded together over time. I
eventually levered them off by jamming a large spanner under the edge
of the knob and levering it against the top of the spout. A large
hammer may have been involved.
