Repair Photo of the Month: Jan -Feb 2017
The return of Magicman’s popular monthly Repair Photo competition is a double-whammy of perfection featuring the best repair and restoration work of 2017 so far.
February winner - difficult colour matching to scuffs and scratches
One of the benefits of hiring a Magicman is that he or she will work in-situ. In short, we come to you. Why that is so important is easily lost on customers until they see examples like the winners in January and February’s repair photo competitions and then all becomes clear.
The winning repair above by Magicman technician Marius Jasevicius was performed on a badly scuffed and scratched dividing wall panel. Even if the panel had been removed and sent to a workshop, the chances of ancillary damage during removal and re-installation is high. If the customer had chosen to replace the item instead, they would have run the additional risk of the new stock (if it had been available at all) not matching the colour perfectly as it would almost certainly be manufactured in a different batch. Magicman technicians are fully trained in colour matching. Whether they mix RAL colours by set formulas or by eye, they can skillfully blend into the most unusual colouring or match detailed grains, patterns and textures.
February runner-up: damage surrounding a new fitting disappears
Runner-up repairs by Magicman technicians John Smith (above) and Derek Grogan (below) also take place on difficult to match surfaces, either due to the grain as pictured above or in the case of the vintage furniture aboard a cruise ship pictured below, complicated by a high lacquer finish.
February runner-up: vintage furniture gets a new lease of life
Magicman technician Jon Goodall was January’s winner. External works are a regular event for Magicman but a job that involved tinting some new red brick work to match the existing sand coloured materials is far more unusual.
January winner: colour matching new brick work
Runner-up Graham Hood demonstrates that even the biggest hole in a bathtub is no reason to rip it out when you call Magicman.
January runner-up: nobody wants a see-through bath!
Whether the restoration needs to take place on walls that are internal or external, on furniture that’s out at sea or on a permanent fixture like a bath, Magicman can travel anywhere to carry out the works. Magicman technicians carry the best industry products currently available and arrive ready to carry out any works that might be required.
Congratulations to Marius, John, Derek, Jon and Graham, all well deserved winners and runners-up. Join us again next month for more amazing Before and After photos of incredible repairs taken by the technicians who performed the works.
