Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• do you use bathroom-grade, mould-resistant paint and which brand do you recommend
• how many coats are included and do you include primer/sealer when needed
• how will you protect fixtures and flooring and do I need to move items beforehand
• do you inspect for mould or damp and what additional charges apply for treatment
• what guarantee do you provide on workmanship and paint, and do you supply a written quote
How to Avoid Surprises
• clear personal items and towels from the bathroom before the trade arrives
• ensure good ventilation or plan for a drying period between coats
• confirm parking or drop-off space for materials and ask about any access charges
• advise the tradie of any building rules, flat access or working-at-height constraints beforehand
• keep pets and children away from the work area while paint is applied and drying
