hi, the drainage unit in my shower is corroded and i would like to replace it. My dad took it out and here is what it looks like. The unit is made of metal. We were wondering if we can just replace this part alone and not the part that interfaces with the actual pipe ? (which is embedded in the concrete, it seems) We tried Rona and Home Depot, Canadian Tire but no luck. If anyone knows where to get it please let me know. thanks !
Also what is this part called ? the part that is inside the drain retainer ?

thanks!

Go to a plumbing supply house to find the replacement. In Chicago we call that part a "drain body strainer". There are three parts to a drain body assembly;
drain body- Poured into the concrete.
clamping ring- bolts into the drain body
strainer-screws into clamping ring
