DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What affects the price in Strathpeffer
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Strathpeffer. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Strathpeffer
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strathpeffer use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
