Internet seems to suggest a couple of ways but which is best? And if you do have to get it down to copper what’s the beat way of doing that scotchbrite doesn’t seem to touch it. Thanks

So you just have to rough it up rather than clean the chrome off? I have jetlube.

I’m going through the ceiling below so can leave the plasterboard down for a few days to check for leaks
