Replace Flexible Slats with a Firm Solution for Bed Base

$500

Surry Hills NSW, Australia

5th Jan 2025

Hi! I have a bed with flexible slats, but I’m finding that they’re not firm enough for my needs. I’m looking for someone to install a more solid solution that will make the bed base much firmer. What I Need: Remove the current flexible slats from the bed base. Install a firm, solid solution (such as fixed slats or a similar sturdy option) to ensure the bed is much firmer. The goal is to make the base firm, with minimal movement, and provide maximum support for the mattress. Additional Info: The bed is a king size (I can provide dimensions if needed). The frame is in good condition, just needs the slats replaced with a firmer, more supportive option. Located in Surry Hills, Sydney. Ideally you would bring any materials required or let me know if I need to source anything in advance. I’m looking for someone with experience in carpentry or furniture repairs who can provide a durable, high-quality solution. Please provide an estimate of the cost and time required to complete the job.

Mitch did a great job. Highly recommended.

Tall person to install a blind. No knowledge or equipment needed

$50

Surry Hills, New South Wales

15th Dec 2024

No equipment/no instructions needed. I have a ladder but I am still too short with the ladder (5’3’) Someone with long arms and possibly a level to help install blinds. I have all equipment, drill, screws, brackets, it is a very easy install. Basically involves 6 screws, three brackets, and lock the blind into place. The only reason I can’t do it myself is because I am short. Should only take half an hour tops. Must not be afraid of heights. Bonus if you have a spirit level I can borrow. The blind is on my balcony so it would really help to have long arms. I have a ladder.

So efficient task completed perfectly. Would recommend and use again

Reseal with wet area sealant in two bathrooms

$500

Surry Hills NSW, Australia

1st Dec 2024

Resealing of the following in two bathrooms please using a wet area sealant. See photos for reference. **Main bathroom** 1. Reseal around bath with white wet area sealant. Bath is 188cm length (one side) and 72cm depth (two sides). The sides are 1 cm wide i.e. relatively wide compared to most joins. 2. Seal around back of basin with white wet area sealant. Basin is 48cm length (there is currently no sealant on this basin). 3. Reseal around shower brackets with clear wet area sealant. Two brackets on both sides of the shower screen. Only need this to be resealed where the existing clear sealant has discoloured, not the entire shower frame seal. **En-suite bathroom** 1. Reseal entire perimeter of en-suite bathroom including shower recess with light grey or similar wet area sealant. This wet area sealant will be applied on top of an existing epoxy grout to match new grout colour sealant that has recently been applied to the floor. See floor plan attached for dimensions. 2. Reseal around back of basin with white wet area sealant. Basin is 48cm length. 3. Reseal back two walls of shower with white wet area sealant. Walls are 231cm height. 4. Reseal around shower brackets with clear wet area sealant. Two brackets on both sides of the shower screen. Only need this to be resealed where the existing clear sealant has discoloured, not the entire shower frame seal. Willing to pay more for someone highly experienced who can do very neat sealing in these bathrooms, thank you.

Elias is amazing - perfect work, great communication, professional, and friendly! Highly recommended!
