Repairs & Fittings
Outdoor shower fittings, towel hooks, shelving, blinds and TV brackets fitted or replaced, plus the small breakages that pile up after a busy holiday season.
Many Plettenberg Bay homes stand empty for months and then fill up over the holidays, so small faults tend to surface all at once. Our team works through the repairs and fittings to get your house ready, for full-time residents and owners who only visit for the season alike.

Plett homes range from beachfront houses and lock-up-and-go units to family homes in the golf estates. These are the handyman jobs we take on most often.
Outdoor shower fittings, towel hooks, shelving, blinds and TV brackets fitted or replaced, plus the small breakages that pile up after a busy holiday season.
Sliding doors to decks and stoeps freed up, salt-corroded handles and locks replaced, and wooden doors eased after months of coastal humidity.
Damp spots, mould-stained patches and cracks repaired and readied for paint, common in homes that stay closed up between visits.
Gutters, downpipes and fascias cleared and refixed, and timber gates, fences and deck balustrades repaired around Plett properties.
Plettenberg Bay is a coastal town on the Garden Route, overlooking the bay between Robberg and the Keurbooms River mouth. Unlike Cape Town, rain here can fall in any season, and the air near the beaches is humid and salty most of the year. Metal fittings corrode, timber swells and homes that are closed up for long periods can develop damp and mould on walls and in cupboards.
A large share of houses in Plett are holiday homes, many in estates or complexes, with owners living elsewhere for much of the year. Things often break during a busy holiday and only get noticed when the next guests arrive. Having a reliable team to check, repair and maintain the house between visits takes a lot of stress out of owning a second home here.
Before the holidays we work through a checklist: doors and windows that stick, broken fittings, loose handrails, outside lights that need new fittings and anything that went wrong since the last visit.
We replace salt-corroded hinges, handles and locks, free up sliding doors whose tracks have filled with sand and repair timber decks, balustrades and gates.
Shelving, curtain rails, blinds and TV brackets fitted, cupboard doors re-hung and damp-affected walls patched and prepared for paint.
If you live in Cape Town, Johannesburg or overseas and only visit Plett now and then, we can collect keys from your caretaker, estate office or rental agent, carry out the work and send you photos when everything is done. Booking before December or Easter gives us time to finish before the town gets busy.
Our team also does painting in Plettenberg Bay, flooring and tiling in Plettenberg Bay, building and renovations in Plettenberg Bay and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
