how to fix crosive stainless steel?

I put a cleaner in my bathtub and didn't know the it would be crosive to the stainless steel drain. Now half is shinny and the other half is gray and dull. Is there any thing I can do to fix it of make it look better?

Answers:
You mean "corroded"stainless steel don't you. Are you sure it's SS? If you used a chlorine based bleach that was too strong you may be able to polish it out using a paste abrasive for stainless kitchen sinks. If that doesn't work you can always change the fitting.

All you need to do to Stainless Steel is use some toothpaste and buff it. that should put a shine on it.
You drain if it was shiny could be chromed brass or steel.
Stainless Steel should be cleaner proof.
If it did anything to SS you should not be handling the chemical.

If it is damaged the drain can be removed and a new one put in right from in the tub
