I had slip covers made a couple of years ago by a lady named Sabrina based in Fremantle. Her business name then was Cosy Covers, however the closest to that I can find is Kosy Covers in Kalamunda (she may have moved?). Their no is 92572416. Their overview says they make removable slip covers. If it is Sabrina she did a very good job & was reasonably priced.

Hi painters are like any other trade, in that they quote based on how many hours of labour they are going to spend on the job and this dictates the price. We have painter's that are award winning and put a lot of prep in both before and in between coats, and everything is 3 coated. That's reflected in a higher price. We have an even more expensive one who is an absolute craftsman and the work he does is both amazing and expensive. We also have a painter that prices based on just coming in and pretty much spraying everything and minimal prep. It's a cheap and cheerful job that some people want for either budget or purpose (eg selling). As posted above, if you have a few quotes and ask questions about the prep you can make a better informed decision. cheers

Always feel confident to question your tiler. Big tiles like these are easy to lay and to line up. If you are not happy then tell them. You are the customer and your satisfaction should be paramount. It looks as though the surface isn't flat. Is this the case? Or is it the tiles that make it look this way? If it is the tiles, tell them. Even if they can't fix it without costing you much more $$$, they may be able to offer you credit for future works.

leftover Modwood from our balcony was used as decking for a jetty on our farm dam and despite being camped on by ducks and kangaroos the surface of the balcony and the jetty were both ok with bare feet and although the ducks did leave some staining and the surface did get hot it wasn't slippery when wet and i understand that newer Modwood colours are better and i can't believe that a toddler's bike or dogs would cause any more harm than the average adult shoe and having never used any other decking product i can't compare
