Alternative to hydrofluoric acid for bath resurfacing

I have a bath resurfacing business and would like to no if there is any other way of etching porcelain other than hydrofluoric acid.

thanks,

Sand blasting with aluminum oxide or silicon carbide grit size around 120 or finer will eat away porcelain surface. Don't know if it's suitable for your purpose.
