Fix coffee machine

Kingston ACT 2604, Australia

24th Apr 2026

I have a breville express coffee machine that has recently stopped working. Everytime I connect it to the power source (flicking the switch on but not turning on the device) it trips the apartment's circuit breaker. I believe this is due to a leak somewhere inside the device. I would like the device fixed so that it can operate properly without tripping the circuit breaker. See below for an image of the device.

Bathroom sink repair needed in Barton ACT urgently

$300

Barton ACT 2600, Australia

22nd Apr 2026

Hi, I am looking for a reliable and experienced handyman or plumber to repair an undermount bathroom washbasin that has detached from the marble vanity benchtop in Barton. The adhesive that was holding the sink to the marble stone has failed, which has caused the sink to drop from underneath the vanity. The basin is currently hanging and needs to be properly reattached and secured to the stone so that it is strong, stable, and does not detach again in the future. I am looking for someone who has specific experience working with natural stone or marble benchtops, as the repair needs to be done carefully to avoid staining, cracking, or damaging the marble surface. The repair should be done using proper professional-grade adhesive and mounting support suitable for undermount sinks so that the fix is permanent and durable. Please bring your own tools and all required materials for the repair. The goal is to ensure that the basin is firmly mounted and reinforced so the issue does not happen again. I would strongly prefer someone who can provide a fixed-price quote for the job before starting the repair, as I am working with a strict budget and would like to avoid any unexpected costs. The location of the repair is at 43 Blackall Street, Barton ACT. Visitor parking is available in the building which should make access easy. I am hoping to have this repair completed as soon as possible, today. I have attached photos of the sink and vanity for reference so you can clearly see the issue before making an offer or confirming availability.

Install a full length, wall mounted mirror

$250

Braddon ACT, Australia

21st Apr 2026

Install a full length mirror to a plasterboard wall. Looking for an experienced handyman that will ensure it is attached securely and that the wall can take the weight of the mirror. The wall has a cavity for a sliding door behind it and there is no stud to attach to. The mirror is an irregular shape, frameless and weighs 14kg. It has split battens included on the back for mounting. The link is included below for reference, it has technical drawings and an installation guide. Will need to supply own tools and any additional parts required - see photos for the parts included with the mirror. Preference is to complete the job in the next few days, but I can be flexible on timing, the priority is to ensure a quality job. https://www.mirrorsbyreflect.com.au/products/aira-irregular-mirror

Daisy did an excellent job and was very helpful with other suggestions and getting rid of the rubbish. Highly recommend.

I have an irrigation system that runs off two taps. One in the front yard and one in the backyard. The system in backyard has six stations running from an old upright garden tap.
