Coloured bath resurfacing in Capstone without replacing anything

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. If you are dealing with faded or patchy colour and selling or letting a home with an old suite, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Whole bathroom suites

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two days for a full suite. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

What affects the price in Capstone

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Signs you need coloured bath resurfacing in Capstone

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and plenty are still in good condition. The problem is generally the colour, not the bath.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Capstone

Can you do the toilet too?

Talk to us first. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we’ll tell you what will last.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Medway.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you come to Capstone?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Capstone and the rest of Medway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can a coloured bath be made white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Capstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Capstone as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a coloured suite involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Resurfacing turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
