Details

I need someone to paint over five patches on my wall, remove two shelves and two nails and fill in the holes, then paint over the holes. The job itself should be quick, but I need the paint to be expertly matched. It's a magnolia colour but I need to not be able to tell a difference between the paint before and after. Tha painter decorator will need to bring all tools along.

Hello pippa I can do this for you.

Pippa B.poster

So for £75, you'd bring the magnolia paint (match it as near as you can to my current paint), remove my shelves and nails and fill holes in?

Yes that's correct

Questions(3)

Ok this is not for me, I'm not paying for materials only to have 25% taken by Airtasker, sorry

Pippa B.poster

Oh really they take 25%? I'll be honest this is my first time on here so I don't know how it works. I can make it £75 in that case?

Ok I've put the offer back on and if you could give us 15 on the day for the paint, if that's Ok?

Pippa B.poster

That's Okay but I won't be there on the day so will have to bank transfer you.

Ok you'd cover the paint yeah?

Pippa B.poster

I'm looking for someone to handle this start to finish and cover the cost of the paint within the quote!

Hello Pippa you just recommended me for your own job.

Pippa B.poster

I know, I saw you had replied to a previous version of this request I posted so wondered if you might be interested again this time.

Yes I would be, is it all on the one wall?

Pippa B.poster

Sort of. The two shelves and the patches are all on one wall, the nails are on another but all in the same room and the same colour

Is it to return it to a landlord?

Pippa B.poster

Yes, or to the tennant taking over my contact. Need it spic and span!

You might have trouble finding a exact match and even if you do touching up old paint with new rarely matches how big are the walls? It's often better to paint the wall then the corner will take the edge off.

Pippa B.poster

That is probably a bit beyond my budget to do an entire paint job! Do you have the capacity to match it as best you can?

I do but by the time I've run around sorting paint I could just do two walls it won't be much to be honest

Pippa B.poster

Go on, give us a quote.... (refilling in of holes and removing of shelves included)

Pippa B.poster

one wall btw with the two holes -- the holes are minute, the whole thing won't need painting
