Googling "white kitchen taps" produces quite a lot of results. Are all
those out of stock? Admittedly, not very stylish, though.

Online perhaps

I am looking for something that I can pick up from a shed

Though there could be some available in store that aren't profiled in the
kitchen catalogues.

Unfortunately, I don't have any stores that don't require me to go out of my
way to reach them, so I don't go there just to view.

not much different from what's available in chrome.

Personally I don't want a swan neck tap, but that 80-% of what Wickes offer.

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

not that anyone would at that price

Surely you need colour contrast for health and safety reasons though. How
about a black sink and yellow taps.

I discovered when washing paint-stripper off my hands that my white kitchen tap is painted.

Well, it was.

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,
.........

Interesting idea.

Maybe a white sink, white taps, and white crockery do contribute to the number of chipped bowls.

It's got one less digit than I thought it might have :-)

But you are right

I'm not in the market for a 500+ pound tap

200 is too much.

I said to the guy in Wickes today (I went back to revise my sink and tap
choices) "It's a tap I'm buying, not a car"! (and he was in full agreement)

But whilst waiting for him to become free, I was looking at how the metal
taps contrasted with the grey doors and worktops I had selected and decided
that there was a reasonable match, even on a white sink.

So apart from changing it from chrome finish to brushed, for the sake of
expediency I'll living with a metal tap.

Unless Howdens come up with a better offer (which I doubt they will be able
to given their appliance options and stupid single shelf cupboards!)
