Other Information
Most of the time, the Delta finish deteriorates due to years of wear and tear, abuse of the faucet or any form of a chemical attack. It is therefore not possible to repair the Delta finish once it is damaged. The alternative would be to replace many of the common faucet parts, especially where the finish deterioration is most noticeable.
