Fibreglass and composite work needs a brief that separates an appearance concern from damage requiring assessment. A surface mark, a suspected issue beneath a fitting and an impact repair should not automatically receive the same treatment. Provide the repairer with construction records where available and explain what happened. Ask how the work will be assessed, specified and documented, including any separate design input and the finish you expect after the underlying repair is completed.
What to discuss
- Assessment of reported damage to fibreglass or composite areas.
- Specified composite repair work following an agreed assessment.
- Surface and finish restoration associated with the approved repair.
Prepare your enquiry
- Construction details, drawings or previous repair information where available.
- Photographs and a timeline of the damage or observed change.
- Survey findings and details of fittings or equipment around the area.
Compare the scope
- Who establishes the repair specification and any required design input?
- Which preparation, repair and finish stages are included?
- What evidence of completed work will be recorded before it is covered?
Before you book
Does a surface crack always identify the repair needed?
Ask a suitable repairer to assess its context. Appearance alone should not be used to decide the depth or scope of the required work.
Why request photographs during the repair?
Discuss what documentation is appropriate before the work begins. Records of agreed stages can help explain completed work during future service or ownership enquiries.
