Scratch or crack? Either way Google has repair for both.

To remove scratches from a porcelain bathtub, you can try using a mild abrasive like baking soda, a fine-grit pumice stone for minor scratches, or a dedicated porcelain repair kit for deeper scratches; always test a small inconspicuous area first, and be careful not to scrub too hard to avoid further damage.
Here are a few methods to try:
Baking soda:
Sprinkle baking soda on the scratched area and gently buff it in with a damp cloth or sponge.
Pumice stone:
Soak a fine-pore pumice stone in water and lightly rub it over the scratch.
Commercial porcelain repair kit:
Apply a small amount of the repair compound specifically designed for porcelain to the scratch and let it set according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Important points to remember:
Test first:
Before applying any cleaning method to the entire scratch, test it on a small inconspicuous area of the tub to ensure it won't damage the porcelain.
Light pressure:
Always use gentle pressure when scrubbing the scratches to avoid causing further damage.
For deep scratches:
If the scratches are deep, a professional bathtub refinishing service might be necessary
For cracks just google cracks in porcelain.
