- Resurfacing from £350

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two days for a full suite.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Coloured bath resurfacing in Portree, done in place
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. Typical jobs include selling or letting a home with an old suite and faded or patchy colour, across coloured shower trays, coloured basins and avocado, pampas and pink baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Portree questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you do the toilet too?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will advise honestly before quoting.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Portree. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Our work in Portree
Portree (Gaelic: Port Rìgh) is in Highland. We travel to clients in Portree, so there’s no workshop to go to. We work in all 253 towns and villages across Highland.
Every address in IV51 is within our area. You’ll find streets such as Somerled Square, Viewfield Square and Ionad Mharsco, all of which we cover. Neighbouring places we cover include An t-Ollach (4 miles south-east), Inverarish (7 miles south-east), Coillore (9 miles south-west), Clachamish (9 miles north-west) and Carbost (10 miles south-west). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.
What’s near Portree
Typical jobs here are in homes near Cuillin Hills Hotel, Bun-sgoil Ghàidhlig Phort Righ and Portree High School and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Portree Hospital (within half a mile south). For a walk, there is Loch Fada.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portree as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Portree, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.

What affects the price in Portree
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
