Extreme sharpness is ephemeral!
Six years ago I had a new bathroom fitted, I worried about the quality of the bath and sink taps even then, well, they haven't lasted. A bath tap was dripping, took the top off to get to the valve and it was full of cream mud and bits of metal, cleaned it up but the nut holding the valve in place was seized solid.
People tell me that there are no quality taps with brass workings any more, which is a crying shame. I don't mind having to find the money for new taps I just get cheesed off when the product doesn't last.
Contractors coming on thursday to have a look and give me some ideas.
