Ever damaged anything at work?

[Flintstone]

for years I've been alright and not damaged anything, then the other day, I was sweeping up on a Friday and literally just touched the brush on the kitchen door and did this, cost me £95 to buy a new larder door, gutted!
It came off far too easily but that's life.

 

[One Day]

Dropped a trowel in a Duravit bath - big CHIP!
Bath repair guy saved my life for £50 though.

The finished thing, because everyone likes a photo.

Never seen one of those repairs in the flesh, invisible ?

Done this a fortnight ago to a ceiling taking my clips out, boards are really thin & the clip hardly touched it.
Got the plastic surgeon coming out next week or so to get it repaired.

It was awesome. He matched the colour, filled it, cured with UV then sanded it and polished it.
Completely invisible. The customer watched and was very happy. I was happiest though

 

[One Day]

The plumber I work with dropped a mirror on a 3.5k wash basin.
I'll try and get a pic off my phone. It made me laugh anyway...

Chipped a work top once.
Customer left the box's of tiles on the work top i went to pick them up and the bottom fell out the box..
At the end of the day it's why I have PLI.

Something very similar today.......I was down on all fours today looking to see if a recently fitted basin vanity unit could be easily removed prior to me tiling a bathroom floor or if I had to cut around it.
Spotted a big chunk gouged out of one of the doors when I was down there.....not taking the rap for that one!

Hahaha Rays post gave me a chuckle...reminded me when I scratched a stainless steel end on a worktop pulling out a range cooker, customer made me replace it, so when it was time to lift cooker back in I rang him and got him out of work to come and help...so I'm lifting and pushing the back edge of the cooker and he opens a door to lift n push, shattered all over his arm..my fault he says, erm yes, I'll leave you with that then...goodbye

I was working late on my own to get a bathroom finished before the client came over. About 10.30 at night, on my own, just running my metal straight edge over some render and managed to short it out on the light switch that I had dangling out of it's box. I woke up in the corner beside the toilet in pitch black. Stumbled to the fuse board turned the electric back on and decided to call it a day. The next morning I saw that the straight edge must have flown out of my hands and chipped a lump out of the €500 shower tray. Luckily I managed to fill it but take a bit more care around electrickery now!

Who do you use Imp? I dropped a trowel on this tray other week, corner of it went straight through dust sheet and chipped it
That was the plumbers effort at sticking chip back in with superglue
Told customer and tbh he was totally cool about it and just said oh well accidents happen.
I would like to get it repaired for him though if you could let me know who you use @impish..

I cover everything and use some ply or plasterboard and sheets to protect stuff I'm taking zero chances
