Try a deep clean first. T-Cut dries milky on anything.

Try this Bri, use it on my car to fill very fine scratches and removes swirl marks

Can't think of anything that would sort that out mate but like ATS says if it's knackered then you could sort of try anything. I know there is something out there that removes scratches from porcelain toilets and basins etc but whether that will work on glazed i don't know.
I know it's not ideal but any chance you could tile over just that wall rather than taking it all down?

He's on about fitting mermaid board over the top if it won't clean up, only problem I can see is that the wall the shower is on is damaged as well, so if the hot and cold feeds can't be extended it'll turn into a right pain of a job. I'll have a blast with a couple of things, like you say, it won't matter if it doesn't work as it's knackered anyway.

It's a good idea but going from the (reflection) i can see in your photo it don't look like you will be able top extend those feeds, worst case is tile off under the valve and split the pipes lower down in the wall and then run them through again!!! like you say it's a load of work just to be able to then tile over the top. Cant get to the pipes from behind or anythig mate?

unfortunately not, it's a solid external wall. I'm trying to dodge this one but you know what it's like when a mate asks you to do something!

No choice really then but to take the lot down, would be a nasty job trying to extend the pipes from what you would have left on them after removing the valve and it would probably come forward too much anyway over the bath...... shame mate, don't blame ya for dodging it, especially as it's a mate. Poxy pain in the jacksie when mates want you to do stuff, don't wanna say yes but can't say no!! watch it cos you'll find yourself in at the weekend if you aint carefull lol.
Good luck

This post court my eye, you may have already completed this job however, are you sure that is is scratched as it looks like unsealed porcelain. This has a haze finish that will never be rectified, if it is scratched or hazed sometimes call hologram, you can see this better with an led light, it can be polished out, with a slow speed 300 rpm buff pad or sponge with maguires glaze cutter, there are different types of cut from aggressive to mild. Be carful not to heat it up. Watch the maguires auto demo on you tube if unsure. We renovate tiles and have been very successful. You will have to re grout but hay ho.
