    The drain is an alloy of metals plated with chrome, When the chrome coating flakes or is compromised the metal underneath tends to rust. Some manufacturers make the drains out of plastic plated with chrome. Paint won't hold for long from constant contact with water. Best to replace.

    You might want to call the manufacturer.

    They might offer remediation solution or offer replacement.
