Repair two holes in cream cupboard door – fill, sand & paint to match

$150

Brighton East VIC 3187, Australia

28th Oct 2026

Need two holes fixed in a cupboard/wardrobe door at a house in Melbourne, Victoria. There are two impact holes in one of the cream/off-white painted doors (photos attached): • Larger irregular hole on the upper side (~8–10 cm) • Smaller hole directly below it (~5–7 cm) The damage has gone through the face layer and exposed the brown core. Looks like a typical hollow-core or thin-panel cupboard door. What’s needed: • Proper patch/fill so the area is solid and smooth • Sand flush • Paint to match the existing cream colour as closely as possible This is at my parents’ place and it’s being prepared for rental, so a neat, durable repair is important. Happy for you to assess on site and advise if any extra prep is required for a good match. Please include in your bid: • Rough price • Availability • Brief note on how you’d approach the repair

Very punctual and did a great job. Thank you!

Hi, Looking for an experienced handyman, plasterer, or painter to repair some wall damage and clean walls in my home in Sandringham, Melbourne. Scope of work: 1. Repair one hole in an internal wall (white / natural white finish). 2. Repair scratches and marks left from taking down artwork (multiple small areas — photos attached). 3.

Balcony reseal / waterproofing maintenance

$300

Carrum VIC 3197, Australia

9th Oct 2026

I have a second-storey tiled balcony approximately 7 years old and would like to have it inspected and resealed as preventative maintenance. The balcony itself is generally in good condition and I am not looking to retile or fully regrout it. The main work I’m looking for is: * Inspect the balcony for any potential water-entry points * Remove and replace deteriorated/cracked perimeter sealant where the floor tiles meet the walls * Check and reseal corners, balustrade posts, door threshold and other junctions/penetrations as required * Check for any isolated cracked grout or other obvious defects * Advise whether a penetrating sealer over the tiled/grouted surface would be worthwhile * Ideally water test the repaired areas afterwards if appropriate I’ve recently had leak repair work completed nearby, so I’d like to make sure the rest of the balcony is properly maintained and watertight to reduce the chance of future issues. Access is straightforward through the upstairs room. Located in Carrum, VIC. Looking for someone experienced specifically with balcony waterproofing, sealing and leak remediation, rather than general handyman work.
