1. Plumbing Fixes (Leaky Faucets & Running Toilets)

Leaky faucets and running toilets are more than just an annoyance; they can significantly increase your water bill and cause long-term damage.


Our team quickly replaces worn-out cartridges and faulty flappers to ensure your plumbing system operates silently and efficiently.


2. Furniture Assembly (IKEA, Jysk, Dedeman & Beyond)


Modern furniture, often comes with manuals that look like complex puzzles (we all know manuals from IKEA!), requiring specialized tools.


We take the frustration out of the process by assembling everything from PAX wardrobes to complex kitchen units with precision and speed.


3. Electrical Updates (Light Fixtures & Outlets)


Installing a new chandelier or replacing outdated sockets requires a steady hand and a deep understanding of safety protocols.


We ensure all connections are secure and grounded, providing you with modern lighting solutions that enhance your home's ambiance.


4. Mounting & Hanging (TVs, Mirrors, Art)


Securing a heavy TV or a large mirror on Bucharest’s diverse wall types—ranging from old concrete to modern drywall—requires the right anchors.


We use professional tools and anchors (like Fischer or Friulsider ) to ensure your wall decor is perfectly straight and safely fastened.


5. Door and Window Adjustments


Changes in temperature often cause doors to sag or window seals to fail, leading to unwanted drafts and energy loss.


We recalibrate hinges and replace weatherstripping to restore smooth operation and improve your home’s thermal insulation.


6. Drywall Repair & Patching


Accidental holes or cracks in your walls can make a room look neglected and decrease its overall appeal.


Our handymen perform seamless patching and sanding, followed by a professional paint touch-up that makes the damage completely disappear.



7. Bathroom & Kitchen Caulking


Old, peeling silicone in wet areas is a magnet for mold and can lead to water seeping behind your tiles.


We remove the degraded material and apply high-quality, anti-fungal caulk to create a clean, waterproof barrier.


8. Cabinet Repair & Hardware Installation


Loose cabinet doors and broken drawer slides can make a kitchen feel dysfunctional and dated.


We tighten hinges, realign tracks, and install new hardware to give your cabinetry a fresh look and a "like-new" feel.



9. Appliance Installation


Properly hooking up a new washing machine or dishwasher is crucial to preventing disastrous leaks in your apartment.


We handle the water supply and drainage connections professionally, ensuring your appliances are level and ready for immediate use.


10. "Honey-Do" Lists for Handyman Services


Small tasks like changing light bulbs, hanging curtains, or oiling squeaky hinges often pile up until they become overwhelming.


Our "Handyman for a Day" service allows you to clear your entire maintenance list in one efficient visit.


Don't let small repairs pile up. A well-maintained home is more comfortable and retains its value longer. Contact Workraft today for professional handyman services in Bucharest!
