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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Drumnadrochit without replacing anything
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. We work on avocado, pampas and pink baths, whole bathroom suites and coloured basins, and people most frequently call us about a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
