Hi everyone!

I’m renovating my bathroom and have beige tiles. I’m trying to decide between brushed brass (gold) and chrome for the shower and shower enclosure.

I really like the warm, modern look of brushed brass, especially with beige tiles, but I’m worried about the finish fading, peeling or discolouring over time. The shower I found advertises a PVD finish, but the colour-coating warranty is only one year, and I haven’t been able to confirm whether the enclosure has a PVD finish.

Chrome seems like the safer, more timeless and potentially lower-maintenance option, but I’m concerned it might look a bit plain compared with brass.

For those who have lived with either finish for a few years:

Has your brushed-brass shower or enclosure faded, peeled or changed colour over time?…
