Our daughter had lots of problems with a stained bath when she moved into married quarters. We solved it by filling the bath and adding bleach and letting it sit overnight. Worked a treat , BUT, it was a caste iron bath.

I put a cupful of washing powder in the bath and run the hot tap, then leave it to soak for a couple of hours - I use non bio, so don't know if bio would harm the surface of the bath

If it the horrible rusty stains under the taps, soak a cloth in either white vinigar or pure lemon juice and place it over the stain overnight,

It works a treat and also unblocks shower heads.

Google Kim and Aggie for lots of cleaning tips.

Aussie product called OzKleen Bath Power available at Sainsbury not cheap at £4 a bottle but does the trick

All these things can work well but check on the type of bath you have first, some cleaners can damage enamel, if it is really bad and enamelled you can have a new coating put on and even do it yourself if you feel confident. Cream cleaner is good but abrasive so take care.
