Bath re-enamelling in Capstone, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Capstone questions
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Capstone?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Capstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What affects the price in Capstone
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Capstone. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Landlord and trade work in Capstone
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Medway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
