Repair large plasterboard / gyprock hole in wall & paint touch up

Woden Valley ACT 2605, Australia

22nd Jun 2026

Hi, I need a plasterboard/gyprock hole repaired in an internal wall and a little patch job where the paint has come off from a picture frame. (see photos). Looking for someone experienced with plaster repairs to: * Cut back damaged area and make the repair properly * Patch/replace plasterboard * Apply plaster/joint compound and sand smooth * Match existing wall texture * Prime and paint the repaired area so it blends in Materials can be supplied or included in your quote. Please include labour & materials and let me know if you need to inspect first. Location: Curtin Flexible with timing.

Chad was very lovely to work with. He was prompt, flexible and did the job perfectly. He matched the paint exactly and left spare for around the home. You can’t tell the hole was there anymore, very friendly, polite, humble, cleaned up after the job. Would highly recommend his services to anyone. Thanks again Chad.

Dismantle infrared sauna at Lyneham address (1-2 people required)

$200

Lyneham ACT 2602, Australia

20th Jun 2026

Looking for 2 practical handypeople to disassemble a 3-person iHealth Premium Infrared Sauna in the backyard of a residential property in Lyneham and stack the dismantled timber panels and components in the garage. The task shouldn't take more than 1-2 hours. This link displays a photo of how the assembled sauna looks: https://foundspace.com.au/product/foundspace-3-person-premium-infrared-sauna/?srsltid=AfmBOop_8OzB8Y8hQ34gTUMBj4WmL-EbEAL0ASxCD1EYojjLE2J-XpNe The job must be completed by or before 12pm Saturday, 27 June. No prior experience with saunas is required, but you must be handy and bring your own tools (cordless drill, screwdrivers, and ideally a soft plastic/rubber mallet). Please note: The largest timber wall panels weigh roughly 30kg to 40kg each, so two people are recommended for the lifting phase to avoid scratching the wood. Key Tasks: - Unplug and safely organise the internal roof wiring (all cables are clearly labelled). - Unscrew and remove the internal accessories, bench seat, and roof panel. - Carefully unclip and lift the interlocking timber wall panels apart. - Stack the dismantled timber panels and components safely and neatly in the garage. Instructions: - I can provide a step-by-step disassembly guide developed using AI to reverse-engineer the process described in this video on how to assemble the sauna: https://youtu.be/rJ7B5swUsU0?si=defqLIzQIpu6QyOp. - It might help to skim through the video to get a visual understanding of the components and how they fit together. Note: Packing, wrapping, and transport are being handled by a separate removalist company who will pick up the sauna after 12pm on Saturday, 27 June. This request is for disassembly and move individual parts to the garage only.

Damien was extremely punctual and highly efficient. He arrived on time and completed the job to a high standard in half the expected time. Highly recommended.

Trying to hang a sensory hammock for the kids that needs to be fixed into a joist with 2 bolts. Looking for you to also chuck some spackfiller or w/e in the holes I've drilled. I’ve used a stud finder to find what I thought were the ceiling joists, but driving a nail/drill bit through hits air. The roof has a bedroom above it if that provides any useful info.

Hi, Looking for someone experienced with gyprock / plasterboard repairs to fix a wall opening left after some plumbing work. The hole is roughly 38.5cm x 37.5cm and currently L-shaped. It will need a proper patch so the wall is solid and finished neatly.

I can provide the matching paint if painting is included. Please only quote if you have experience with gyprock wall repairs. A few things to confirm in your offer: • your total price including Airtasker fees • whether your quote includes both labour and materials • whether the job includes patch, taping, compound and final sanding • whether it will be left paint-ready or if painting is included • whether you have public liability insurance • whether you provide any workmanship warranty / guarantee Photos attached. Looking for someone reliable who can do a clean, professional repair. Budget around $200 but open to reasonable offers. Thanks!
