No damage as such to the Speedcoat, but on chatting with them and sending pictures, there ain’t nought I can do, less getting it resprayed back to the full colour ☹️
On the inside of the base sides if you mask round with tape horizontally to give a crisp straight edge could you then use more bleach so it all ends up cream coloured on the base? It would certainly look better than your modernist art version!

The Speedcoat guys expressly ban all use of bleach on the shower tray, clean with warm soapy water only.

I could actually damage the coating and the mix that caused it had gauld knows what mixed in it, I’ll probably have to take it to the guy for a re spray 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

It was just a suggestion especially since you stated no damage since the original bleaching.

Back motorhoming after a 6ish year break!
Hubby pinged about half a dozen hooks off the curtain across the kids bunk bed. He put his arse through it while going in the oven. It was someone else's fault for not pulling it back.......... 🙄😂

Fortunately not broken but I was dropping the hydraulic levelling jacks when She shouted, "You've dropped it on the hook up cable." Not quite true, one jack was on the cable but only because she had tidied up the cable by shoving any spare under the van.

so would I be if it has torn that right through the wall?
It has, bit repairable with my formidable bodge kit under the bench. Bit of fibreglassing, epoxy, filler framework and a sodding great stainless plate, 4 kilos of mastic, jobs a good un

Rear spring, well I dunno if I broke it but it just failed MOT on it at 9am, new spring duly sourced with delivery tomorrow, all 6 nuts undone awaiting said spring, cracked along where they stamped the part number - bad idea - bit fuzzy but in between 2 yellow chalk lines on the bush end

A flip-up table - dropped a 5lt wine box on it, no wine was spilt. And the door catch on the fridge.

My hab door lock (2021 Burstner). I’m good at not knowing how things happen but it used to lock with the central locking button on the key fob. Since last week, it doesn’t. It still UNLOCKS with the fob though. Weird.

It may not be seeing the door as shut to lock it however it will unlock it. My Honda crv has that problem when the sensor gets dirty on one of the doors. Bit of alcohol wipe and all good again.

It may need to be altered with the key, so it’s in correct orientation for CL to synchronise with it.

Have a similar issue with my Bailey fob. Suddenly stopped working. Changed batteries, followed a number of weird ‘open-window-key-in-lock-hold-your-breath-for-10-seconds’ type routines to resynch fob to no avail. Have now given up! 🙂

That sounds logical. Any idea what these sensors look like on a Burstner?
