The first thing you should think about doing is returning the Bath. If this is not possible for whatever reason then I suggest you spend £20 and get a DIY bath chip repair kit.
These kits are pretty good, they comprise of a two part filler/Hardener which obvioulsy fills the damaged area, once dry it is sanded with wet and dry paper, then the filler is sprayed with an enamel coating.
