Bicarbonate of soda, distilled white wine vinegar and lemon juice are all good for removing limescale

I soak a dishcloth in vinegar, wrap around the taps overnight and the limescale will dissolve was off , it won't damage the surface like some things do

the cheapest just malt.. the acetic acid in it neutralises the alkaline in the lime scale, so as Mel says lemon juice will work too but vinegar is cheaper and you need to soak the strip of cloth well...makes the bathroom smell like fish and chips though
