David is a good communicator, efficient and ethical. It’s so nice to have trades people that want to help, be fair and do a good job. I used David for my flat in Portsmouth and being based in London myself. His communication made me feel I was in good hands.

What do handyman services include?

Not everyone has the skills, tools, or time to tackle home maintenance and repairs, which is why handyman services are readily available to book on Airtasker. Save yourself the trouble of pulling a DIY by connecting with a reliable handyman near you. 

Here are some tasks you can request from your Tasker:

General handyman services

Most handymen are all-rounders, ready to take on a bit of everything around the house. When you hire one, you can sort out multiple issues in one fell swoop, from yanking up carpets and hanging doors to swapping out light bulbs.

Indoor installations and repairs

Struggling to install recently purchased homewares? Or perhaps you can’t replace your damaged appliances just yet? Handymen could easily smooth out these minor bumps. They are equipped to assist with tasks like putting up blinds and curtain rods, installing kitchen sinks and pet doors, and even wallpapering.  If you need a home security system installed, you can also book a Tasker to set this up for you.

Outdoor installations and repairs

Your outdoor area goes through the wringer, enduring everything from heavy rains to the mess left behind after playtime. To keep your backyard in tip-top shape, have outdoor items expertly installed or repaired. Seek out a handyman near you who can assist in tasks like putting up your garden shed or clothesline, mending windows, fixing your mower, and fitting outdoor blinds.

Bricklaying and building work

Handyman services can also cover basic home construction, such as bricklaying and building work. If you need a seasoned builder to help you put up garden walls, repair loose brickwork, install MDF, or construct a chicken coop, count on Taskers to handle them for you. For maintenance, you can also book separate services for gardening work or brick cleaning.

Wall hanging

If you need to free up space in the living room or garage, get a handyman to mount your TV or bicycle on the wall. Instead of pulling a DIY, working with a tradesperson for your wall hanging needs ensures your furnishings are level and fitted securely. Taskers can hang picture frames, mirrors, or heavier electrical items like dryers. Having trouble with your electrical wiring? Have it fixed beforehand by booking another service on Airtasker.

Furniture repair

Before having your broken furniture repaired, specify the type of furniture to make sure you get a Tasker whose skills align with your demands. For instance, get a Tasker with carpentry experience to repair your wooden coffee table, wardrobe, or sofa bed. If the issue is electrical work, such as fixing ceiling fans or digital fitness equipment, ensure your handyman is experienced in this area.

Home maintenance

When you have access to home maintenance services near you, it’s easier preserve your place’s top-notch condition. You can count on your local handyman to help with cleaning the gutters, pressure-washing driveways and paths, resealing windows and doors, and sorting out minor roof repairs. Avoid letting small issues turn into expensive problems with regular home maintenance.

Fix loose shower wall panel and reseal shower tray gap

£100

Fratton, Hampshire

1st Jun 2026

We’ve recently moved into a new house and noticed an issue with the shower. The back wall panel pushes in slightly at the bottom, which has caused the silicone seal between the shower tray and wall panel to crack/open. Water can get down into the gap when the shower is used. We’re looking for someone experienced with bathroom/shower repairs, shower panels and waterproof sealing to fix this properly. The job would ideally include: Removing the old failed silicone Checking why the wall panel is moving/flexing Securing/bonding the lower part of the panel so it no longer moves Resealing the joint with good quality mould-resistant sanitary silicone Advising if a shower sealing trim would be better Checking for any obvious signs of water damage. We don’t just want new silicone applied over the old gap, as the panel movement needs fixing first or the seal will likely fail again. Photos available. Please only respond if you have experience with shower/bathroom panel repairs and resealing. Please bring own tools/materials, including suitable bathroom adhesive and sanitary silicone.
