You need to create a file containing the block numbers of the bad blocks. The badblocks program should work. Then run e2fsck -L on the *un-mounted* filesystem. See the manpages for badblocks and e2fsck. You may still need to re-make the filesystem on the affected partition. I would repeat e2fsck -f -L badblock_filename device_name until a clean check is achieved and cross your fingers.
