Well, I'll just reply to my own question then (a little sad perhaps, but it might help some-one sometime): I took the bath along to my local (car) bodyshop and it's been resprayed. He used the same techniques as he uses for respraying plastic car bumpers. I don't know how it'll last in the long term but it's pretty successful so far.
