What colour are my taps?

We often speak to clients who say they have polished brass taps, but when they tried to polish them, found the colour changed to a dull silver!
“What have I done and what can I do?”

All this time they have possessed gold plated taps, but now they have buffed off the gold to expose a base-coating of matt nickel plating. At this stage the choice is yours…

A gold plated tap will require no buffing to keep the shine, but cleaning should only be carried out using a piece of damp chamois with a weak soapy solution, rinse well and a duster to dry any water spots.

A polished brass tap will need a bit of Brasso to take back the oxidisation, but generally however bad they get, it won’t take too much to bring them back to a deep lustre.

Gold plating is a layered process of nickel and gold.

Tell us which you prefer when placing your order.
