    Anyone know where I can purchase a brushed brass overflow similar to the one in the picture? (White would also be ok)

    Is the tub a common manufacture or a speciality import from a fly-by-night bathroom shop?

    If it's the latter, you're out of luck. Otherwise try Plumbers Supplies Coop, Tradelink etc.

    If you can't find one, perhaps have the ones you have dipped?

    We made up our own shower head and tap combo, exit the wall, up and over a claw foot bath shower curtain rail so the taps were inside the curtain.

    We had it chrome plated. It was no more expensive than buying a higher end fitting.

    Most of the after market overflows are round.

    You have gone down the darkside of changing taps and realising you want your chrome stuff to match. It will drive you batty! Next you'll be hunting for toilet flush buttons to match. It's a never ending hell once you move away from chrome.

    I've got most things covered in brushed brass for the brushed brass areas. Just this bloody sink. I'll get it sorted by hook or by crook :)

    Loving the white taps! Almost done!

    Better off getting it brass plated if you want to match. There's even places which do small items like car trims which are plastic.
