Plumbing work — installing or replacing boilers, replacing radiators, fixing leaks, installing new bathrooms — frequently causes surface damage to tiles, bath surrounds and floors. Addressing this damage professionally restores the property to its pre-works condition.
Common Plumbing-Related Surface Damage
Tile chips — from tools, pipe cutting or access panel removal.
Bath chips — from dropped fittings, pipes contacting the bath, or working in the bath during installation.
Floor damage — scratches from pipe movement, chips from dropped tools.
Grout damage — grout disturbed around pipe penetrations.
Sealant failure — sealant at bath or shower connections disturbed during work.
Responsibility
If a plumber caused the damage during their work, their public liability insurance covers repair costs. Document damage immediately and contact them in writing.
