Several Small Repairs – One Convenient Service Visit
Preparing a rental apartment for a new tenant often involves more than a single repair. A kitchen cabinet door may be loose, old mounting holes may remain in the walls, a door handle may need tightening, or the silicone around the kitchen worktop may be worn.
Instead of looking for a different contractor for every small task, you can send us one repair list. We assess which jobs can be completed together and provide an estimate based on the actual work required.
Minor rental apartment repairs from €80. The final price depends on the scope of work, necessary materials and number of visits. You receive a cost estimate before confirming your appointment.
What Is Included in Our Rental Apartment Repair Service?
Not every rental property needs a complete renovation. Many everyday problems can be resolved through targeted repairs and careful maintenance. Our handyman services are designed to improve the condition, appearance and functionality of residential properties.
We can handle one small task or prepare a combined repair plan for several issues discovered during an apartment inspection, tenant changeover or regular property maintenance.
Wall Hole Repair and Surface Patching
We repair small holes left behind by shelves, pictures, television brackets and other wall-mounted items. Minor dents, scratches and localised surface damage can also be repaired where suitable.
Depending on the condition of the wall, the service may include filling, sanding and localised painting. We aim for a neat finish while explaining any limitations caused by existing paint colours or surface wear.
Door, Hinge and Handle Repairs
Interior doors and cabinet doors can become misaligned through everyday use. We provide adjustments to suitable hinges, repair loose handles and replace worn fittings where compatible parts are available.
Before beginning, we assess whether the problem is caused by a loose fixing, damaged hinge or another issue that requires additional attention.
Kitchen Cabinet and Drawer Repairs
Kitchen furniture is used every day, making small repairs particularly common. We adjust cabinet doors, tighten handles, repair suitable drawer mechanisms and secure loose finishing strips.
We can also replace worn silicone sealant between kitchen worktops and wall surfaces as a separately agreed service.
Bathroom Maintenance and Silicone Replacement
We replace suitable surface silicone joints and install or secure bathroom accessories, such as towel hooks, mirrors and other small fittings.
We assess the installation surface before drilling or applying sealant. If signs of possible moisture damage are found, the underlying condition must be investigated before cosmetic repairs.
Skirting Boards, Trims and Wall Fixtures
Loose skirting boards and finishing trims can make an otherwise well-maintained apartment look unfinished. We reattach suitable trims, replace small fixings and secure household accessories to appropriate surfaces.
Wall materials and potential hidden electrical cables or pipes are considered before drilling work.
Small Painting and Finishing Jobs
We perform localised painting and surface touch-ups following minor wall damage, furniture removal or general wear.
Appropriate preparation, surface protection, drying times and colour compatibility are assessed before the work begins. Painting an entire wall or room can be quoted separately if necessary.
Preparing a Rental Apartment Between Tenants
When one tenant moves out and another is preparing to move in, time becomes an important factor. Even small maintenance issues can complicate the handover of an apartment.
Cabinet doors should close properly, handles should be secure and visible wall damage should be addressed where necessary. Completing these tasks before the next tenant arrives helps create a better first impression and improves the everyday functionality of the property.
Fixmate can help resolve defects identified during a move-out inspection. Typical assignments include filling mounting holes, adjusting doors, reattaching fittings and carrying out small finishing repairs.
Working in an empty apartment is often more convenient, but repairs can also be arranged in occupied properties when access has been appropriately agreed with the tenant and the authorised person placing the order.
Rental Apartment Repair Prices in Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa
We believe property owners should have a clear understanding of potential costs before ordering repair work. Our pricing is based on the type of repair, estimated labour, condition of the property, necessary materials and number of required visits.
The following price list provides examples of common handyman tasks in rental apartments. These estimates are intended to help landlords and property managers plan their maintenance budgets more easily.
| Repair or Maintenance Service | Estimated Price |
|---|---|
| Filling small wall mounting holes in one area | €80–110 |
| Repairing several small wall marks during one visit | €100–170 |
| Localised wall filling, sanding and paint touch-up | €120–190 |
| Adjusting an interior door or cabinet door | €80–110 |
| Adjusting 2–4 cabinet doors during one visit | €90–140 |

| Reattaching loose skirting boards or trims | €80–140 |
| Replacing silicone sealant along a kitchen worktop | €120–160 |
| Minor furniture or fitted cabinet repairs | €80–150 |
| Repair work in several rental apartments | Custom quote |
All prices are preliminary customer estimates, not automatically binding fixed-price offers. Standard professional tools are included. Whether minor fittings, paint, silicone, replacement parts and travel expenses are included will be confirmed in the individual quotation. Any additional work must be agreed upon before it begins.
Combined Repair Packages for Rental Properties
When several minor issues can be repaired during a single appointment, a combined service visit can be more practical than arranging each repair separately.
Small Repair Visit
€90–140One or two straightforward tasks within the same apartment, such as tightening a cabinet handle and making a minor door adjustment.
Tenant Changeover Repair Package
€160–260Several compatible minor repairs completed during one visit, such as wall patching, cabinet adjustments and reattaching loose trims.
Extended Minor Renovation
€280–450A larger collection of repair tasks, potentially including surface filling, sanding and finishing work. The scope is agreed in advance.
These packages illustrate possible project sizes rather than fixed labour rates. Work requiring drying time, specialist materials or additional appointments may need a separate quotation.
Property Maintenance for Landlords, Housing Companies and Property Managers
Managing one rental apartment is different from overseeing an entire portfolio of residential properties. When several apartments require occasional repairs, coordinating contractors and appointments can take a considerable amount of time.
Fixmate offers a practical point of contact for suitable minor repairs across Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa. You can send us a list of required tasks for each property and request either individual quotations or a combined estimate.
Private Landlords
Whether you own one rental apartment or occasionally need help preparing a property for a new tenant, we can assist with everyday repairs and minor maintenance tasks.
Send photographs and a short description of the problems. We can often prepare an initial estimate without requiring the landlord to visit the property.
Property Investors
Owners of multiple rental apartments frequently face similar repair needs in different locations.
Whenever schedules allow, we can coordinate suitable repair tasks across multiple properties to reduce unnecessary separate visits.
Housing Companies and Building Managers
We carry out appropriate surface repairs, mounting work and minor property maintenance according to an approved work order.
Maintenance responsibilities, required permissions and access arrangements should be clarified with the client before any work begins.
Rental Property Management Companies
If a tenant reports several small problems, your company can send us a consolidated repair list.
We discuss the required tasks, appropriate contact person, expected costs and invoicing arrangements in advance.
Separate Invoicing and Repair Documentation
Some properties may require work that is paid for by different parties, such as a landlord, apartment shareholder or housing company.
Separate invoices or itemised work summaries can be arranged when responsibilities, payer details and approvals have been agreed upon beforehand.
When requested, we can also arrange photographs of completed repairs or a brief written work summary. This can be particularly useful for landlords who manage apartments from another city or country.
Responsibility for a particular repair depends on the applicable legislation, housing company rules and contractual arrangements. These responsibilities should be clarified by the relevant parties before placing the order.
How Our Rental Apartment Repair Service Works
We aim to make the ordering process straightforward, especially for landlords and property managers who need to arrange repairs remotely.
Tell Us the Location
Send the property address and let us know whether the apartment is vacant or currently occupied.
Send Photos and a Repair List
Describe the required work and include photographs, measurements and any important deadlines.
Review the Quotation
We assess the scope, necessary materials, estimated cost and suitable appointment options.
Repairs and Completion
Our technician completes the agreed work and informs the client if any additional issues are discovered.
To help us prepare an accurate estimate, it is useful to mention parking arrangements, lift availability, access instructions and whether keys need to be collected from another location.
If the apartment is currently occupied, access must be appropriately agreed with the tenant. We coordinate the visit with the authorised client and respect the privacy of residents.
When Are Minor Repairs Enough, and When Is a Larger Renovation Needed?
Minor repairs are often the most practical solution when damage is limited to a small area and there is no indication of a more serious underlying problem.
For example, filling a few wall holes, adjusting a door or securing a loose finishing trim may be straightforward tasks that do not require a complete apartment renovation.
However, not all visible damage should be treated as cosmetic. Extensive wall deterioration, moisture-related swelling, widespread paint failure or suspicious bathroom damage may require further investigation.
Covering a damaged surface without identifying the underlying cause may lead to recurring problems and unnecessary expenses. We therefore distinguish ordinary maintenance from situations where a specialist assessment is needed.
Our minor repair service does not replace structural inspections, moisture damage investigations or regulated electrical and plumbing work. Jobs involving waterproofing, fixed electrical installations or water and drainage systems may require appropriately qualified professionals.
Our goal is to help clients select a sensible repair solution rather than recommending unnecessary work.

Multiple Tasks During One Visit
Whenever possible, we combine compatible repair tasks into a single appointment. This can simplify coordination and reduce the number of separate service visits.
Clear Estimates Before Work
We provide a preliminary estimate based on the information supplied. Unexpected issues and additional work are discussed with the client before proceeding.
Easy Communication and Photos
Many repair requests can be assessed initially through photographs and written descriptions. Completion photos can also be arranged where appropriate.
Suitable for Individual and Repeat Jobs
We assist both private property owners and businesses requiring occasional repair work at several residential addresses.
Frequently Asked Questions About Rental Apartment Repairs
How much do rental apartment repairs cost in Helsinki?
Our example prices for individual minor repairs start at approximately €80. The final cost depends on the required work, property condition, materials and number of visits. Send us photographs, the repair list and the address for a more accurate quotation in Helsinki, Espoo or Vantaa.
Can several minor repairs be completed during one visit?
Yes. Compatible tasks such as filling small wall holes, adjusting a cabinet door and securing a loose trim can often be combined into one appointment. Drying times, spare part availability and the amount of work may occasionally require an additional visit.
Can you prepare an apartment before a new tenant moves in?
Yes. Tenant changeovers are a common opportunity to carry out minor repairs. Let us know the expected move-in date and your preferred completion deadline. We will check available appointments and assess whether the requested work can be completed within that timeframe.
Can I order repairs if I cannot visit the property myself?
Yes, provided the work has been authorised and appropriate access arrangements have been made. We can agree on key collection, a local contact person or access through an authorised property representative. We do not enter apartments without the necessary permission.
Can you provide photographs after the repairs are completed?
Completion photographs and a brief work summary can be arranged in advance. This is useful for landlords living outside Helsinki or property managers coordinating maintenance remotely. Residents' privacy must be respected.
Do you offer wall patching and painting services?
Yes. We carry out localised wall filling, sanding and paint touch-ups. Larger painting projects, such as repainting an entire room, are assessed and quoted separately. Existing paint colours and surface wear can affect how closely a repaired area matches the surrounding wall.
Who is responsible for paying for repairs in a rental apartment?
Payment arrangements should be agreed before work begins. Responsibility may depend on the rental agreement, applicable Finnish legislation and housing company rules. The landlord, tenant, shareholder and housing company do not automatically have the same maintenance responsibilities.
Are materials and replacement parts included in the price?
Not necessarily. Standard tools are provided by our technicians, while small materials may be included in an individual quote. Paint, specialised hinges, replacement fittings, silicone and other purchased materials are agreed separately when needed.
Do you perform repairs in occupied rental apartments?
Yes, for suitable work. Access and appointment arrangements must be agreed appropriately with the tenant. We also explain when a particular repair may cause dust, noise or temporary restrictions on the use of a room.
Can a property manager book repairs in several apartments?
Yes. Please provide a separate address and repair list for each property. We can prepare a combined quotation where appropriate and discuss separate invoicing when all payment arrangements have been confirmed.
Can bathroom silicone sealant be replaced during the same visit?
Suitable surface silicone joints can be replaced as part of an agreed maintenance service. The surface must be appropriate for resealing and there must be no unresolved damage requiring further investigation. Changes to waterproofing are not part of ordinary minor repair work.
