Bathroom & kitchen maintenance
Bathrooms and kitchens wear out in small ways: silicone goes mouldy, wall corners swell, accessories come loose and cabinet doors drop. We handle general maintenance and minor plumbing and electrical work that does not need a licence, and tell you clearly when it does.
Labour from $139+ incl. GST
What the job usually includes
- Removing mouldy or failed silicone and resealing
- Repairing water- or mould-damaged plaster outside wet areas
- Replacing taps, shower heads and toilet cisterns (minor plumbing that does not need a licence)
- Replacing exhaust fans (minor electrical work that does not need a licence)
- Fitting towel rails, toilet-roll holders, mirrors and shelves
- Adjusting and repairing vanity and kitchen cabinet doors and drawers
- Small patching and painting after repairs
Not included
- • Plumbing that needs a licence: pipes, water connections and any work on the water supply — a licensed plumber is required
- • Electrical work that needs a licence: power points, lights and wiring — a licensed electrician is required
- • Full bathroom renovations
- • Leak diagnosis inside walls or under floors
What affects the price
- Amount of silicone or damaged wall to remove and redo
- Whether damage extends beyond what can be seen
- Number of items to fit or adjust
- Drying time and whether a second visit is needed
Photos help. Helpful photos: the whole area, a close photo of the damage, and anything that looks like an active leak.
When more information is needed. Resealing and small fixes can often be estimated from photos. If there may be an active leak inside a wall or floor, you need a licensed plumber first — sealing over a leak does not fix it.

Questions about this job
Can you fix a leaking tap or toilet?
We replace taps, shower heads and toilet cisterns — minor plumbing that does not need a licence. Anything involving pipes or water connections is regulated and needs a licensed plumber.
Will new silicone stop the mould coming back?
Fresh silicone removes the mould you can see, but ventilation and cleaning decide how quickly it returns. We will tell you if the cause looks like moisture or a leak rather than old silicone.
