Photos to send
- One close-up photo of the damaged spot
- One wide photo showing the whole tub, shower, pan or wall
- One size-reference photo with a coin, dollar bill or tape measure
- Any photo showing drain location, jets, walls, corners or floor movement
Information to include
- City and best callback number
- Material if known: fiberglass, acrylic, porcelain/enamel or cultured marble
- Whether the area leaks, flexes, feels soft or has been patched before
- How the damage happened if known
- Whether the fixture is currently being used
Why this matters
A good photo estimate prevents the wrong job from being scheduled. Chips, cracks, holes, rust-starting spots and soft fiberglass floors all require different decisions. A small porcelain chip may only need a spot repair, while a moving fiberglass crack may need a closer look before anyone should promise a repair.
Close-up photo
The close-up photo should show the edges of the damage, not just the general bathroom. Make sure the picture is in focus and bright enough to see whether the damaged area is rough, dark, rusted, cracked, open or previously patched.
Wide photo
The wide photo helps identify where the damage sits in the tub or shower. A crack near the drain, a chip on the ledge and a hole in a wall panel all have different repair considerations. The wide photo also helps show whether the job is a tub, shower pan, wall, tub/shower combo, vanity top or cultured marble surround.
Size reference
A coin, dollar bill or tape measure prevents guesswork. Photos without a size reference can make a small chip look large or a serious hole look smaller than it is.
Fastest option
Call or text (469) 592-0018. If using the form, include detailed notes and then text photos to the same number.
Bad photos that slow estimates down
Dark photos, blurry close-ups, photos taken too far away, or photos with no size reference can lead to the wrong repair expectation. If the damage is on a shower pan or tub floor, also send a photo that shows where a person stands.
Photos for commercial or rental work
For property managers, builders or rental turnovers, label each photo by unit, address or room. Multiple photos can be reviewed faster when the repair type and location are clear.
