A landlord in Bristol contacted us urgently — their tenant had unknowingly left the toilet running for days, causing severe water damage under the flooring. The entire bathroom floor was soft and unstable, tiles were cracked, and there was a risk of mould.
We stepped in as their handyman bristol team to deliver an emergency bathroom repair: removing all damaged flooring and subfloor, installing new moisture-resistant ceramic tiles, and fitting a modern close-coupled WC.
But the story doesn’t end there.
While on-site, we also helped the client with a long-standing kitchen issue: a rotary corner shelf and cupboard door that had been broken for months — and two previous handymen had failed to fix it.
We diagnosed the mechanism, adjusted the hinges, and restored full function — turning frustration into relief.
The result? A completely restored, safe, and hygienic bathroom — plus a fully functional kitchen cabinet — all completed with same-day response, minimal disruption, and a 3-month guarantee on every job.

The Problem
The client said:
“My tenant didn’t realise the toilet had been leaking for over a week. By the time they noticed, the floor was sagging and some tiles had lifted. I needed someone who could respond fast, fix the structural damage, and get the property rent-ready again — no delays.”
And about the kitchen:
“I’d given up hope on that corner cupboard. Two different handymen looked at it and said it was unfixable. But these guys figured it out in minutes. It works perfectly now.”
This is a common issue we see with rental properties across Totterdown, Easton, and Bishopston — where small leaks go unnoticed until major damage occurs, and minor issues pile up over time.

What the Client Said
“These guys are experts! Very professional and fast work redoing my bathroom floor and tiles. They were able to easily identify unexpected extra problems (a leaking toilet and rotted floors) and fix those too, all well within the timeframe they first gave me. They came up with a creative solution to fixing a rotary shelf and cupboard door in my kitchen that two previous handymen had been unable to fix and I had begun to despair over, so I am very grateful for that! I would definitely hire again.”
