The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Strathy
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What affects the price in Strathy
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Strathy. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
