Repairs & Fittings
Corroded towel rails, curtain rails, handles and brackets replaced, and shelving, blinds and TV mounts fitted in Mossel Bay homes and rentals.
Sea air in Mossel Bay corrodes hinges, locks and gutters faster than most people expect, and holiday homes often stand empty while the damage builds up. Our team works through the repairs in one visit and quotes in writing from your photos.

These are the handyman jobs that come up most often in Mossel Bay homes and holiday properties.
Corroded towel rails, curtain rails, handles and brackets replaced, and shelving, blinds and TV mounts fitted in Mossel Bay homes and rentals.
Sliding doors that grind on salty tracks, swollen timber doors and seized window catches cleaned, adjusted or replaced.
Cracks, flaking plaster from damp and salt, and holes from old fittings repaired and made ready for paint.
Rusted gutters and brackets replaced, downpipes cleared, and gates, outside lights and boundary walls repaired.
Mossel Bay sits on a peninsula with the ocean on several sides, so many homes are within reach of salt spray carried on the wind. Metal fittings rust, sliding door tracks clog with salt and sand, and outdoor lights, gate motor housings and gutter brackets corrode. Even indoors, hinges and handles near open windows wear quicker than in an inland town.
The town is also a popular holiday destination, with homes around The Point, Diaz Beach, Hartenbos and Dana Bay that may stand empty for weeks. Small problems such as a leaking gutter or a jammed sliding door can go unnoticed until the next visit, which is why many owners like to have a team they can send a list to.
We swap rusted hinges, handles, towel rails and brackets for fittings better suited to the coast, and fix them securely.
Tracks are cleaned of salt and sand, rollers and catches adjusted or replaced, and frames sealed so they close properly against the wind.
Gutters, downpipes, fascias, gates and garden walls are repaired or replaced, with attention to rust and salt damage that spreads if left alone.
If you live elsewhere and use your Mossel Bay house for holidays or short-term letting, send us your list and photos and we will quote in writing. We can work with a key holder or rental agent and send you photos when the jobs are done, so the house is ready before guests arrive.
Our team also does painting in Mossel Bay, flooring and tiling in Mossel Bay, building and renovations in Mossel Bay and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
