Repair & remount wall gargoyle, mostly intact with minor break

$300

Newtown NSW, Australia

8th Jun 2026

Need someone to repair and remount a decorative gargoyle that was ripped off my wall. It’s mostly still in one piece, though a small section has broken off from the main piece. Looking for someone who can securely reattach it to the wall and tidy/blend the repair so it looks neat again. I’ve tried using liquid nails however the the gargoyle was too heavy/didn’t dry well so it fell off. Experience with wall repairs, masonry, plaster, or decorative mounting preferred. Please bring any required tools/materials. Located in Sydney.

Ronen did a fantastic job repairing my wall. Highly recommend for anyone needing help with wall repairs, painting and plastering.

House / Property repairs

$480

Newtown, New South Wales

28th May 2026

Need a lateral thinking, experienced handyman to attend to the following: 1. Resecure light fitting in lounge room 2. Fix ceiling and resecure bathroom fan. Would suggest installing support backing inside ceiling eg timber noggin or plasterboard backing plate, then fixing the damaged edge - cut back to clean square and patch with new plasterboard. Then reinstall fan securely, fill + paint with undercoat and 2 coats of ceiling paint (Zinsser) 3. Separation/cracks in kitchen slate floor (relic of the 80s). Will take advice but initial thoughts was using a dark/matching coloured flex silicone Job is in Newtown in an investment property (single storey house). Prefer someone licensed and with reviews.

Ronen did an excellent job with the repairs in my house. He was professional, reliable, and clearly takes pride in his work. The quality of the repairs was great, and he made sure everything was completed properly and to a high standard. Communication was smooth throughout, and he was easy to deal with. I’d definitely recommend Ronen to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy handyman.

Hello, I need a general handy man to help me setting up my Airbnb.

$25

Newtown, New South Wales

21st May 2026

Hello, I need a handy man to help me set up my Airbnb. I just moved in so there are a few things I need help with / advice on what to do. Ideally I'd like someone to come and see the place beforehand so we can chat about options and get a quote on everything that's required to be done. 1. There is an outdoor area that houses the washing machine. The area needs a general clean, and perhaps a way to lift the washing machine off the floor. Any suggestions on how to improve the area would be great. 2. I need the door to this outdoor area replaced. 3. The toilet seat needs replacing. 4. The rail in the bathroom needs tightening. 5. The ceiling surrounding the light fixtures needs a touch up of paint. 6. Some walls needs some love with touches of paint too 7. A step needs to be added on that's fallen off. 8. The corners are starting to crack from the walls / ceiling - advice on how to close that up or paint it?

Cody arrived early and was really helpful with his advice on little bits and pieces that I wanted done. Highly recommend him!
