Can't you just claim on your insurance for a new bath?

claim on insurance, I nearly got a new bathroom when the same thing happened to me, they'll pay for tiling as well

We had a similar thing when the shower head holder gave way and the pole chaffed the bath and scooped out a large chunk.

The house builder brought in a plastic surgeon who was able to fill the holes and buff back to smooth. They also removed a burn mark on a window frame and filled scratched on a kitchen worktop.

I've had a bit of trouble finding a website for this because you can imagine what typing 'plastic surgeon' into google does, but I tried 'plastic surgeon bathroom' and one of the sites was:-

I am in no way affiliated to this company, but the link shows the sort of stuff they, and companies like them can do. Can't harm to get one of these firms out for a quote can it?

Hope this helps,
