Cleaned my road bike in a brand-new bath not long after we moved in to a new (newly renovated) apartment.
Was careful, stripped everything, laid a towel in the bath to protect it from fork-ends, pedals, etc.
Bike cleaned, bath cleaned. All good.
Feeling like I was on a roll, I decide to clean out the fridge. Removed all the huge glass shelves, took them into the bathroom. First one slipped out of my hand, into the bath. Noise was absolutely deafening within a tiny fully-tiled room.
Closed my eyes.
When I opened them, the shelf was still in one piece! Yay for toughened glass! Lifted it out of the bath, and there it was. 50p-sized chip out of the enamel, right in the centre of the flat bottom. I was nearly sick.
Bike goes to the jetwash these days.
