Could be worth a try as its a cheaper alternative....

A plumber mate told me to used duraglit(remember it? Like brasso in a tin but on a special fibre) i have tried it on scratches before and worked a treat but prob will struggle with anythin to deep. But worth remembering for the future

'Magic' ceramic rubbers also work good on minor scratches-most plumbers merchants sell them.....

Ive had this problem on one of my jobs before , now i always make sure the bath is covered well doubling up with a dust sheet is a good tip. I spent alot of money trying to repair the bath and in the end i replaced it with a new one. It depends on how bad the chip is my opinion though is change the bath no comebacks then. hope it all works out for you mate.

Having done exactly the same thing on my own bath - sheet fixed with masking tape and bath board on being used as a tool stn while I worked on the other side of the room removing tiles. One tile splintered and half the tile travelled the full width of the room only to find its way into the bath leaving a big scratch.

Now I understand Beano's (training course instructor) suggestion to stuff the bath with an old quilt in addition the other prep work. A sheet will keep out the dust but not a missile of a tile.
