Nope, chrome handles are the worst. Just get a replacement black one. I've gone through three chrome ones and have finally given up. Easiest just to replace but there is thread somewhere on here describing how you can simply drill through the front of the handle and reconnect the lever with the handle using a screw and some glue. It will hold but not sure how long.

Woops should have read previous post - the other thread I was referring to is linked in there.
