its called thermal conductivity. because the metal on the tap is much more thermally conductive than the bath mat, and they are both at a colder temperature than your body temperature, when you touch the tap and the bath mat the heat from your body is transferred much faster to the tap making your skin feel cold.

Why does linoleum fell colder than a carpet on a cold day?
Both the linoleum and carpet are probably the same temperature, but linoleum will feel colder to the touch. This is because the thermal properties of linoleum will more quickly cool your warm skin. The actual thermal property is called thermal effusivity, which is a combination of density, conductivity, and speicific heat. When a hot and cold surface touch, there will be a contact temperature that is determined by the ratio of the effusivity of the two materials (skin vs linoleum in this case). Linoleum isn't that bad, a stone floor will feel much colder.
