Is it chromed steel, or pot metal??? I don't think it's possible to completely get rid of pits in chrome, but if it's very slight pitting you can make it look better with either scotch brite, or copper/aluminum wool. Once it's cleaned up, put a coat of polish on it. Now if it's deeply pitted pot metal, you're probably need to get it redone.

Every pit has to be drilled out and filled before chroming. That's why pot metal work is so expensive.
