I don't think spraying the base will stop scratching only chewing. There some reasons hamsters chew mostly due to boredom, cage or wheel being to small not enough things in the cage to keep them occupied. Sometimes it just becomes a habit that's hard to break.
With Carmine who destroyed 1 cage through chewing, i moved him into a ZZ2 as it was obvious no amount of space, toys and out of cage time was going to stop it while the bars were still there.
In the ZZ2 i made sure there was nothing he could climb onto to reach the bars at the top after a few weeks i eventually bought some wooden steps and hanging toys that meant he could reach the top and he has not chewed at all just perches on top of the steps and pays no attention to the bars
