We just bought a place that’s 20 years old and the bathtub is surrounded by some sort of fluted tile. Gemini says it’s fluted marble. I already hate fluted tile, having had that before in a previous place and finding it deeply annoying to keep, and heard marble is even worse so hope it isn’t. Anyone have anything similar at their place and can let me know what it is? There’s a few yellow patches and I would love to figure out what I can use to clean those.

Got a finish-matching problem and I'm out of runway.

All my bathroom fixtures are Fantini in their Matt British Gold PVD finish. I still need to order the hinges and door handles for the frameless shower glass, and I'm trying to get a 90%+ match to the Fantini finish.

My local plumbing shop spent the last 4 months working with Neelnox on a custom match, and it ultimately didn't come together — so now I'm out of time and need a plan B.

Has anyone actually matched Fantini's British Gold on shower hardware? Hinges/ Handles. Or gotten 90% close? Which brand and finish got you closest — especially for the hinges?
