Impact on value of Flexiteek vs real teak.

I’ll let you know in the next few days.

Real teak in good condition is a lovely thing - if you can afford it. Synthetic teak is like silicon boobs - done well it may look right, but it doesn't have the right feel.

Changing some, but not all, to synthetic would be unspeakably naff in my eyes

I think the lady chose the wrong surgeon or you weren't with a lady

I’ll let you know in the next few days.

Expect the costs to be about the same for real teak vs synthetic.
There is a LOT of work removing the old and repairing the surface before either can be applied.
I think it is more a case of what you want rather than the cost.

There wasn’t much cost difference in fitting from new at yard on ours hence we had Flexiteak factory fitted. Whether retrofit is cheaper I doubt but you used to see the fitters rolling out the synthetic teak carpets down at Hamble point marina as a retrofit on new deliveries. Leaving aside the point re colouration based on small amount of teak capping we have I regret we didn’t have synthetic toe rails and cockpit cappings (and saved on the Semcco each season) We are in uk but have never seen the pink colouration but the retrofitted we have seen on other boats from around 2014 looks more orange tinge than ours.

What sort of a price is fake for say a 40ft bathing platform

Quote from the first supplier back for the swim platform works is circa £5k for removal, templating, supply and fit.

I have had several quotes over the years and the pricing was always the same of more for plastic so I went with wood.

having my knackered real teak replaced hopefully this week with Flexiteak. I shopped around at the Southampton Boatshow, and decided on flexiteak based on a combination of look and cost. There were some similar products that came out considerably more expensive. Swim platform, transom step and bow area all being done.
Been dealing with Flexiteak in Hamble, and so far so good.

Be interesting to see how it turns out.

Just had a quote having seen some finished results which looked remarkable. Swim platform and bows first, followed by upper helm later.
Hope to proceed this summer.
