Small wall repair and paint touch up (drywall paper tear)

$150

East Melbourne VIC 3002, Australia

28th Sep 2026

Hi there, I need a professional to repair a shallow drywall paper tear in my apartment (approx. 5cm wide). A sticky hook accidentally peeled back the paint and the brown paper layer underneath. The job requires: 1 Sealing the exposed brown paper so it doesn't bubble. 2 Skimming with filler/spackle and sanding it perfectly flush with the wall. 3 Colour-matching the wall paint (I can provide a small flake for matching, but I do not have the paint code).
 4 Painting the patch so it blends invisibly. Please let me know your minimum call-out rate or fixed price for this minor repair. Thank you!

Darren is highly skilled in his craft, did the job so well I couldn't even tell where the fixing was done. Polite and very passionate with his work.

Purchase and install a 600mm round bathroom mirror

$469

East Melbourne VIC 3002, Australia

5th Sep 2026

Hi! I’m looking for someone experienced to purchase and install an ABI Interiors 600mm round mirror in matte black above the bathroom basin shown in the attached photo. Exact product: ABI Interiors Round Mirror 600mm, Matte Black, SKU 17217. This is the standard version, not the LED model. https://www.abiinteriors.com.au/product/round-mirror-600mm-matte-black/ I’d like you to handle purchasing/ordering the mirror and arranging delivery or collection, then come and install it. Please confirm availability and any delivery charges with me before purchasing. No alternative products without checking first. The mirror needs to be mounted on the painted wall above the existing tiled splashback, centred over the basin. Please confirm the height and positioning with me before drilling, check the wall construction and use suitable fixings. All tools and installation materials need to be supplied, and the basin and surrounding finishes protected while working. The $200 on top of mirror cost is budget for organising the purchase, installation and standard fixings. The mirror itself and any agreed delivery charge will be reimbursed separately against receipts. Please include your availability and relevant mirror installation experience in your offer. Installation timing can be agreed once the mirror’s availability is confirmed. It's a semi - heavy mirror so needs proper installation.
