Just fitted new cartridge to a 1901 basin tap. Instead of being a quick easy job it took quite some time due to corrosion of the shroud. There was also some corrosion of the handle. The taps are nearly six years old. It was the hot water tap and there is a water softener fitted. I also have some much older "Colonial" basin taps. The hot water tap shows considerable erosion. I've not touched the cold tap.

It looks to my inexpert eyes that not all parts are brass.
Thank you.
