May I have some DIY advice please?

We had a new bathroom suite installed last year. Within 9 months the handles on the sink unit and a wall cabinet were bubbling/peeling. Presumably the electroplating has gone awry.

The manufacturer sent us replacement handles. Today I tried the easy job of changing the handles. The first screw took all of 20 seconds. The remaining screws were so wedged in and the screws so soft that they took about an hour and the holes that are left are now much too big for the replacements. I don't want to use the replacement handles and certainly not the screws they've provided (all different lengths!) because I can see the peeling happening again and us not being able to unscrew it again to replace again.

I think the solution is to buy new/different handles but the screw holes are too big now . DH says we should just stick them on but this isn't going to last long term surely.

Can anyone suggest a solution please?
