Decorative Flake and Coloured Floors in Bendigo

A decorative floor is a coating job with a finish chosen on top. We make no claim here about how a finish performs, because no government source does. What a quote must tell you, and what a tradesperson guarantees, are set out by Consumer Affairs Victoria.

What decorative flake and coloured floors in Bendigo actually involves

Consumer Affairs Victoria says a quote should be clear about what it covers and give a careful estimate of how long the work will take. It should also say whether it includes transport, time and transport to get materials, the cost of materials, labour and apprentice costs and how they are calculated, and call-out fees and weekend or public holiday rates.

What is guaranteed automatically

A tradesperson has a contract with the customer whether it was verbal or in writing, and guarantees to provide services with due care and skill, fit for any specified purpose, and within a reasonable time when no time is set. The ACCC's consumer guarantees guide (July 2021) says the same of any service.

Say what the floor is for

If you want a particular look or a particular use, such as a workshop or a car, say so when you ask for the quote: “fit for any specified purpose” depends on what was specified. Ask for the colour and finish in writing as well. The costs page lists what a quote should include.

Ask the contractor how they prepare a floor before a decorative finish goes on, and which of the dust and wash-water questions on the preparation page apply to your floor.

Decorative Flake and Coloured Floors in Bendigo — common questions

What does a quote for a coloured floor need to say?

What it covers and a careful estimate of how long the work will take, and whether it includes materials, labour, transport and call-out or weekend rates.

What if I do not like the finish?

Say what you want before work starts. The guarantee is that services are fit for any specified purpose, so what was specified, in writing, is what counts.

Is the guarantee only for written agreements?

No. Consumer Affairs Victoria says a tradesperson has a contract with the customer whether the agreement was verbal or in writing.
