Could you Try a chrome polishing compound, poss get from hardware store or halfords , wheel trim restorer . Test it as may change colour and then you may end up doing all

merit, i'm pretty sure it will have to be a re-fit.

Chrome trim is really 'anodised aluminium'. If you rub away at the surface you will come to the dull aluminium underneath. It will look a lot worse than it already is.

Would you ever fit a scratched tile? No.

..........because you know that to correct it post grouting will cost you in time & money.

The scratch is 100% not your doing.

Have you been paid?

I've had this problem to due to painters using sandpaper to rub walls above the chrome trim,as you can see the paper lines on the trim.
