When i moved into our house our shower was terrible. I got CLR and used hot water and lots of scrubbing (continuously cleaning the scrub brush) with a good scrub brush. I used one that the handle above it so you are pushing down on it as you scrub. Hope this helps some. The cleaning method will vary depending on the type of material of your tub. An acid based solution will work well for a fibreglass tub.

However, if it made of porcelain enamel it will be slightly different. As porcelain enamel is a glass surface fused to a metal base it is advisable not to use acid cleaners on porcelain enamel. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant but not acid proof - the glass coating can be gradually dissolved by acids and expose the metal underneath and cause a lot of damage.

See the step by step methods below for each one: Fibreglass Tubs:

Natural Formula to Use:

Pure white vinegar

Method to Use:

1.Fill a clean spray bottle with pure vinegar

2.Spray the vinegar freely over the bath tub and wait for a few minutes

3.If stains are stubborn spray more vinegar and wait a while longer

4.Simply wipe away with a clean cloth to reveal the shine

Tips:

Sometimes stains are extra stubborn - for this make a paste of white vinegar and baking soda and scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge. Never use an abrasive cleaner like scouring pads, powders or steel wool as this will scratch the surface. ---- Porcelain Enamel: Formula to Use:

A mixture of baking soda and warm water

Method to Use:

1.Make up the mixture of water and baking soda

2.Scrub stains with a soft brush or sponge

3.Rinse thoroughly with water to remove all residue

Tip:

When scrubbing the stains be careful to rub gently as once the porcelain surface has been scratched it easily picks up any grease, dirt or soap residue. Then harsh abrasives really are necessary to remove debris that has become ingrained within the surface!

You can probably remove the dye with dishwasher detergent. I used dishwasher detergent to remove jet black permanent hair dye from a white formica counter top. It removed the dye 100%. You couldn't even see a trace of the dye. If dishwasher detergent can remove black permanent hair dye, it can remove just about any dye. You want the dishwasher detergent that says it DOES contain bleach. Pour the detergent on the marks. Let that sit overnight. Then wipe the detergent away with wet paper towels. For some reason, dishwasher detergent works better than Clorox. (I tried Clorox, and it didn't work for me.)
