  • Where on the property is the bathtub or shower that needs to be repaired?

    Build the work-order

    The following questions will not only assist the crew in locating the correct bathroom and bathtub quickly if they are not meeting a jobsite contact-person, but will establish the exact bathtub in the house that is covered by the warranty.

    *Have you seen the repair project and jobsite?

    Avoid costly delays caused by mistakes and omissions in ordering refinishing projects.
    Mistakes and omissions in the ordering process can result in costly delays, e.g., rescheduling because of no access to the property or time in the schedule to obtain authorisation to revise the invoice or perform the revised project. Maybe there's some additional damage that you are not aware of or are responsible for.
    All of these questions will have to be answered eventually so the time you take today will avoid costly delays tomorrow.

    *Is the bathtub or shower in the main house or a detached building?

    Is the damage to be repaired on the main house or a detached building? is the damage in the main house or a detached building

    *On what level of the house is the bathroom?

    Is the project upstairs or down? The project's location informs the repair crew about the expected construction ( e.g., subflooring and framing) and specific tools to bring ( e.g., extra lengths of exhaust tube ).

    Which level of the house is the project located; the sub level, the main, the second, or the third level? On which level of the house is the project located?

    *Where is the bathroom in the building?

    which way to the bathroom through the house?

    *Which bath unit in the room is damaged?

    Some bathrooms have multiple units, like a garden tub and a shower - which one has the repair that you're paying for?
    If the workorder lists a chip repair on a tub/shower combo but the repair crew is shown a chip repair on a walk-in shower it's the wrong repair. The repair crew will not do a repair on a unit that is not on the workorder because it may not be damage that the person who placed the order is responsible for having repaired.
    Knowing the type of unit that needs to be repaired avoids costly delays on the day of the appointment.

    what type of bath unit is it? a standard with no walls, a garden tub, a tub shower combo, or a stand alone unit? What type is it?

    *What is the topcoat made of?

    Bathtubs are commonly constructed of either fiberglass with a gel-coat or acrylic topcoat, or steel / cast iron with a porcelain topcoat. The different structures have different repair requirements, and so do their topcoats. Using the correct components for compatibility between the structural repair and the topcoat ensures that the repair system used is reliable.
    Knowing the correct repair system in advance avoids costly delays on the day of the appointment.

    Is the bathtub's topcoat made of acrylic, gelcoat on fiberglass, or porcelain on steel? What's the bathtub made of?

    *In which SECTION of the unit is the damage?

    More than one area on the unit may be damaged - which one are you paying for?
    You may be responsible for the chip on the left side of the apron-deck but not the chip on the right side.
    The repair crew will not do a repair on a unit that is not on the workorder because it may not be damage that the person who placed the order is responsible for having repaired.
    Identifying the location of the damage on the bath unit avoids costly delays on the day of the appointment.

Description

Polishing reveals what’s under the topcoat and will truly show the importance of “sculpting” the repair. Polishing is the process of making the scratches on a surface too small to be seen, resulting in a reflective surface. “General polishing” refers to non-complex surfaces that do not require specialised polishing heads.
