Black tapware wear and tear: what’s your experience?

4 months ago

Hi everyone, I’m updating my bathroom with a minor facelift and love the look of black tapware. However, I’ve noticed at friends’ places, and even in some showrooms, that black taps often chip, flake, or show wear.

Is this a common issue regardless of brand, quality, or price? Or does the finish type (e.g., powder-coated vs PVD) make a big difference?

Would love to hear real-world experiences and any tips for choosing durable black tapware/brands.

Black tapware already looks dated. I have recently swapped some out in a house that I bought. It wasn’t worn, it just time stamped the bathrooms. I didn’t have to do a full bathroom redo, just got rid of the black tapware and associated fittings and a bit of paint and voila!

Definitely invest in good quality black tap ware if you want it to last, I have a number of items in different rooms and they have all worn, chipped and flaked. I will look to replace with a higher quality because I do love the contrast that the black offers
