    You could try a bath rubber from places like screwfix or toolstation.

    Bath rubber might work, but it depends on how bad the scratches are. If really bad you may have to get someone in to repair it if the customer is happy with that. Best to make sure you tape up and board baths and shower trays, as accidents do happen.

    The scratches are probably only 2mm deep, I've just rang Duravit (the company that makes the bath) and they have a product, a two part filler that will do the job.

    unless you've got the full polishing kit? i would leave it alone and get someone in to do it for me. I've seen guys try to fix baths themselves and just end up making it look worse, and it's not that expensive.

    I use them and they are very good, but quite expensive. Pretty sure they're £145.00 + vat for you size of job, if you go through the call centre. I've got the direct number for the girl in our area and its half the price.
