Rusting on parts fitted by plumber

mrcheez

Recently had a lot of work done on my house by one plumbing company, including fitting a new bath and external tap.

After only one month the chain that holds the bathplug has rusted to such a state that it leaves marks on the bath and curtain, plus the screw holding the handle in place in the external tap has rusted. The tap itself is fine.

Seems the bathplug chain came with the bath (which albeit is a good steel bath), but i'm shocked that it isn't waterproof which i'm sure is pretty obvious for something that's going to get wet? Additionally is it not possible to get rust proof screws to put in external taps?

Ok so it is possible to get these parts waterproofed? The guy is due to come back next week for something else so i'll be sure to request it.

Bath manufacturer is Twyfords who I think are supposed to be good. It's an odd one.
