Hans Grohe stuff does look nice, does it last?
I think we want something modern and any finish but chrome.

Yes they do..there is a reason why most decent hotels kit out with them.
Remember that hans grohe and grohe are 2 different companies. -
Coincidentally the hotel I’ve been staying in for the last few days had Hans Grohe showers. I think the rooms are five years old and mine seemed to be holding up well. Was a really nice shower to use too.

It's the best combination of quality and price according to most of the professional plumbers I've asked. Spares are easily available and the hardware is designed to be repaired if necessary. I've been using a shower kit for 15 years and it still works and looks like new. I had a red plastic button break after a couple of years and they sent me 2 replacements in the post for free. I still have one of those replacement buttons.
They don't do any victorian looking stuff, maybe some hints in a couple of their ranges but generally it's a contemporary European design style.
For very grand English style there's always Perrin & Rowe.

Hans Grohe for taps/showers etc. There are a few English manufacturers for victorian stuff but they are very grand, large fittings that suit bigger properties.
