In short: A shared bathroom refit replaces worn or failing bathrooms in an HMO with hard-wearing, easy-clean ones: good extraction, waterproofing, thermostatic showers and finishes that stand up to several users a day. We carry this out across Highland, priced against the HMO rules for Scotland and the council’s own standards.
