Thanks for the info - yes from reading elsewhere it does seem to be that the yellowing is somewhat more than just a surface-issue.

I was hoping for an easy/quick fix along the lines of "Squirt them with brand-X spray you can buy off Amazon, and wipe off - job done!" - the hassle of painting seems just too much effort to go to; it's not as if old Microsoft mice are really things of value.

The bathroom shower-control, I may just get a little man in to strip the control/outlet/riser out, retile, and replace with something a bit more up-to-date and non-yellow.
