I’m not sure Home Improvement is the correct sub for this, but I’m looking to replace my dual flush actuators with metal ones instead of these chromes plastic ones that corroded due to the bleach fumes from using bleach bricks in the tanks. I’ve stopped using them, but I still need to replace the actuators or buttons and I want something more robust.

Edit: went ahead and ordered duplicate replacements.

How about carving replacement buttons and bezel out of some hardwood? Finished with an epoxy based varnish it should resist the bleach fumes.

Oh, man, you luddite.

I like the way you think! Such an odd choice for the location, something you just never see. And sealed like you describe, would hold up as well as anything else.
