At my house, 2 of the 3 Kohler brushed nickel drain (collar/trim) develop rust.
The 3rd one stays clean. What is the cause of the rust?
they are relatively new (~7 years) and the sinks are porcelain.
Someone was telling me it could be an installation issue, or excess plumbers putty causing an issue of water buildup around the drain collar, but that does not seem to make sense to me.
would it be from an abrasive cleaner that damaged the nickel finish?
would removing the old collar and putting a new one solve the rust problem?
