talisman Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Im looking to find a reasonable price for PLins for boat painting. Would anyone have any advice? I tend to concentrate on sections , like a roof and not complete boats. Its for acquaintances or friends really, not full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought just classing yourself as a painter and decorator would suffice. Loads of PLI policies must be available for that. Undertaking not to use blowlamps for paint stripping will probably reduce the usual premium by 50% at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talisman Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I can get Tradesman or Handyman ,but when i mention boats its a different matter lol. Much of my work will be in a marina , where public liability is a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice, take it or leave it is be honest on what/where/when you do it or you are paying for nowt as insurance company will not honour any claims if the crap hits the fan. Full disclosure or you are simply wasting yer brass for a worthless bit of paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably thats because there's a lot more tradesmen and handymen out there than boat painters. Some of the marine insurance brokers also offer marine trade policies, so worth contacting.
