What material is the tap set made from?

Can I install this set myself?

How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean the chrome finish using a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is PVD coating?

Troubleshooting
Tap is dripping after being turned off.
Ensure the tap is fully closed. If dripping persists, the internal valve or cartridge may need cleaning or replacement. Check the installation manual for cartridge access.
Low water pressure from the tap.
Check that the water mains are fully open. Clean any aerators or showerhead nozzles for blockages. Ensure there are no kinks in flexible hoses and check for any debris in the pipework.
Difficulty switching between bath and shower modes.
The diverter mechanism within the bath shower mixer may be stiff or obstructed. Try operating the lever firmly; if the issue continues, inspect the diverter for debris or wear.
No hot or cold water from one of the taps.
Verify that the hot and cold water supplies are correctly connected and that the valves for both are fully open. Check for blockages in the relevant supply pipe or the tap's inlet.
