Our Services

What's included

  • No minimum project - we also come for one job. One shelf, one hinge, one hook.
  • Broken hinges, stuck drawers, loose handles - repaired properly, not patched.
  • Hooks, clocks, coat rails and towel bars mounted on any wall type.
  • Bathroom accessories installed with the right anchor for your wall - things that stay.

A lot of people hesitate to call a handyman for a single job. They assume we won't come for just one thing. We do. One hinge, one shelf, one curtain rod - we also come for that. No minimum project. Fixed price upfront.

Small jobs are a large share of what we do in Vienna. We approach every one the same way: right tools, right material, done properly. A hinge repaired with epoxy, not a longer screw. A shelf anchored with the correct plug for the wall type, not the nearest plug available.

What Counts as a Small Job? Specific Examples

One curtain rod at one window. A broken cabinet hinge. A towel rail that keeps pulling out of the wall. A bathroom mirror to hang. Three hooks for the hallway. A wall clock to level. A shelf with one bracket loose. A stuck drawer that needs the runner replaced. A bathroom accessory on tiles. A coat rack to mount in a rented apartment. A single picture with a heavy frame. We do all of these, in one visit, at a fixed price.

Combining a few small tasks in one visit is the most cost-effective option. A hinge, two bathroom accessories and a curtain rod typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. Send us a list before we arrive and we come prepared with the right parts.

Minor Repairs Vienna: Hinges, Drawers and Furniture

The most common repair requests: broken door and cabinet hinges, stuck or damaged drawer runners, loose handles and knobs, damaged cam locks, and loose furniture backs. For hinge repairs in particleboard furniture we use two-part epoxy, not a longer screw. The epoxy fills the void and bonds to the damaged fibers, creating a repair that holds longer than the original. We bring spare parts for the most common furniture types so most repairs are done on the spot without a second visit.

Small Mountings and Bathroom Accessories Vienna

Towel rails, toilet paper holders, soap dispensers, shower shelves, bathroom mirrors, coat hooks, wall clocks - we mount them correctly, with the right anchor for your wall type. In Vienna's Altbau apartments, even small items need the right fixing. A standard plastic plug pulls out of soft brick under repeated load. We scan the wall, pick the right anchor, and mount everything so it stays put for years.

Small Jobs Done Right: Why the Details Matter

Most contractors prefer large jobs. Small tasks get declined, delayed, or handled carelessly. We take a different approach: every job, regardless of size, gets the same professional tools, materials, and attention. The result is small repairs that hold for years rather than failing again in a few months.

For a broken hinge in particleboard, we use two-part epoxy resin, not a longer screw. The epoxy fills the void, bonds to the damaged wood fibers, and cures harder than the original material. The hinge re-mounted in cured epoxy holds more securely than it did before. For wall mountings, we identify the wall type first and use the correct anchor, every time.

Combining multiple small tasks in one visit is both more efficient and more cost-effective. Make a list before we arrive and we will work through it systematically.

Bathroom Accessories in Vienna: What Makes the Difference

Bathroom accessories fall off walls for two reasons: wrong anchor for the wall type, or drilling into tiles without the right technique. In Vienna's Altbau bathrooms, walls behind tiles can be solid brick, hollow brick, or occasionally drywall - sometimes mixed within the same bathroom. A standard plug that grips in solid brick pulls straight through hollow brick under the load of a wet towel rail.

We identify the wall material before choosing the anchor. For solid Altbau brick we use heavy-duty expansion anchors. For hollow brick or drywall we use cavity anchors rated for the actual load. For tile drilling we use diamond-tipped bits at controlled speed without hammer action to avoid cracks. The result holds long-term, which is the only acceptable result in a bathroom.

If a towel rail has pulled out before, the hole in the wall needs to be repaired before re-mounting. Drilling in the same spot with a larger plug rarely holds. We carry filler and epoxy to repair the hole properly first.

Small Jobs Done Right: The Technical Details

Hinge Repair: Epoxy vs. Wood Glue

A hinge ripped from particleboard cannot be repaired with wood glue - there is no clean surface left to bond. Two-part epoxy fills the void, bonds to damaged fibers, and cures harder than the surrounding material. The hinge re-mounted into epoxy holds more securely than it did originally.

We carry both materials and choose the right one for each situation. Using wood glue where epoxy is needed means the repair fails within weeks, often making the damage worse.

Wall Anchor Selection for Small Mountings

Even a small hook or towel rail needs the right anchor. In Altbau brick, a standard plastic plug pulls out under repeated load. In drywall, a standard plug splits the board. We carry anchors for every wall type: expansion anchors for solid brick, cavity anchors for drywall, and injection anchors for crumbling plaster.

Small items fall off walls not because the wall is weak, but because the wrong anchor was used. We identify your wall type before drilling every hole.

Tile Drilling Without Cracking

Standard masonry bits crack tiles. Diamond-tipped bits at low speed and without hammer action cut cleanly through ceramic and porcelain. Starting with a small pilot hole prevents the bit from wandering across the tile surface.

A cracked tile in a bathroom often means replacing the entire row. The right bit and technique eliminates this risk entirely.

Important Safety Notes

Tile Drilling Risks

Drilling into bathroom or kitchen tiles with the wrong bit or technique causes cracks that require full tile replacement. We use diamond-tipped bits at controlled speed without hammer action to drill cleanly through any tile type.

Wrong Anchor for the Wall Type

A standard plastic plug used in hollow brick or drywall can pull out under load, causing the mounted item to fall. In bathrooms this is a safety risk. We identify the wall material before every installation and select the correct anchor for the actual load.

FAQs

  • Is there a minimum charge for small jobs?

    Yes, we have a minimum of one hour. If your job takes 30 minutes, you pay for one hour. This covers our travel and setup time and ensures we can provide a professional service even for small tasks.

  • Do you come just to fix a single hinge?

    Yes. Many clients combine a few small tasks in one visit: a hinge to fix, a shelf to mount, a hook to hang. That is the most cost-effective option, but we also come for a single job.

  • What types of repairs do you handle?

    Broken door and cabinet hinges, stuck or broken drawer runners, loose handles and knobs, towel rails, coat hooks, wall clocks, small picture frames, bathroom accessories and similar minor jobs. If you are unsure whether we can help, send us a WhatsApp with a photo.

  • Can you fix furniture that was damaged in a move?

    Yes. Move-related damage is a common request: broken hinge from disassembly, missing cam lock nut, loose back panel. We bring spare parts for the most common furniture types and fix them on the spot.

  • Can you mount bathroom accessories on tiles?

    Yes. Tile drilling requires a specific bit and technique to avoid cracking. We use diamond-tipped tile bits at low speed without hammer action, then anchor correctly for the wall material behind the tile. Towel rails and holders mounted this way stay firm for years.

  • Do you mount items on drywall (Rigips)?

    Yes. Drywall needs cavity anchors, not standard plastic plugs. For light items like hooks and clocks, spring toggle anchors are enough. For heavier items like towel bars with regular use, we anchor into the metal studs behind the board. We always choose the right fixing for the actual load.

  • Can I combine multiple small tasks in one visit?

    Absolutely, and that is the most cost-effective option. A hinge, two bathroom accessories and a hook can usually be done in 60 to 90 minutes. Send us a list before the visit and we come prepared.

  • How much does a handyman cost per hour in Vienna?

    Our hourly rate for small jobs in Vienna starts from €45 per hour. We have a minimum of one hour per visit, which covers travel and setup. Many clients combine several tasks in one visit to make the most of the time.

  • How quickly can you come?

    For small jobs we are often available within 1 to 3 business days. For urgent requests we try to accommodate same-day or next-day visits. Send us a WhatsApp message for the fastest response.
