In the digital era of 2025, home repairs are no longer a time-consuming and nerve-wracking challenge. Today, I will tell you how you can find a reliable handyman for small home repairs with just a few clicks using the Fix! mobile app – an innovative platform that simplifies the process for every Bulgarian household.

The Problem with Traditional Handyman Searches

Most Bulgarians have faced difficulties finding a good handyman: recommendations from friends, ads on forums, long phone calls, uncertainty about prices and quality. It often happens that the handyman is unavailable, fails to fulfill their commitment, or demands an unexpectedly high price. In some cases, the lack of warranty and transparency leads to unpleasant surprises – poor quality repair, wasted time, and financial losses.

How the Modern Process Works – Step by Step

1. Post a Repair Request

Once you install Fix! on your smartphone (available for Android and iOS), the process starts with posting a request. Share details about the problem – for example: “Leaking faucet in the bathroom,” “Need socket installation,” “Tile laying in the kitchen.” Add a photo and describe specific requirements: desired material (e.g., PPR pipes or Italian tiles), expected budget, location (Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, or another city), desired completion time.

2. Receive and Compare Offers in Real-Time

Within a few minutes of posting the request, you will receive offers from licensed handymen in your area. Each contractor provides a price, completion time, and a brief description of their approach. You can compare their ratings, based on real reviews from other users, and view photos of previous repairs. This process facilitates choice and saves time.

3. Choosing a Handyman – What to Pay Attention To

Rating and Reviews: Always check the ratings. A high rating means a reliable handyman, but also look at the reviews for detailed impressions.
Price and Offer Details: Compare offers not only by price but also by included materials, warranty, and deadlines.
Certificates and Licenses: The app allows handymen to attach certificates (electrician, plumber, drywall installer), which is important for more complex repairs.
Location: Choose a handyman from your area for faster and easier service.

4. Secure Communication and Payment

Everything about the project is clarified directly in the Fix! chat – from additional questions to sending documents or photos. Payment is made through a secure platform that ensures the money will be transferred to the handyman only after confirmation that the repair has been completed satisfactorily. This eliminates the risk of fraud and dissatisfaction.

5. Receive a Warranty and Leave a Review

After the repair is completed, you can rate the contractor and leave a review. If you have any comments, Fix! has a team to assist with complaints. In most cases, handymen offer a warranty for their work – something rarely seen in traditional private repairs.

Tips for Maximum Efficiency

Prepare Photos and Accurate Text: Well-taken photos of the problem save time and ensure more accurate offers.
Ask About the Source of Materials: If the handyman offers to supply materials, inquire whether they are guaranteed and their origin.
Specify Deadlines: Include specific dates and times for completion, especially if the repair is urgent.
Check Legal Requirements: For some works (electrical installations, gas appliances), the handyman must have a valid license and issue a protocol.

A Real-Life Example

Svetlana from Plovdiv shares: “I needed a quick repair of a burst pipe in the bathroom. I posted a request on Fix! in the morning, and within an hour, I received three offers. I chose a handyman with excellent reviews and photo evidence of previous repairs. Everything was completed in one day, and the payment was safe through the app. I saved nerves, time, and money!”

How Much Does the Service Cost and How Is the Price Formed?

Fix! does not charge a fee for posting a request. Handymen set their prices based on complexity, materials, and time. For typical small repairs (socket installation, faucet replacement, laying a row of tiles), prices range between 30 and 120 BGN. In Fix! every offer comes with a final price and a breakdown of materials and labor,

so there are no hidden fees.

What Do You Get More Through a Mobile App?

Speed: No more waiting days for responses or available handymen.
Transparency: See real ratings, photos, and prices before making a decision.
Security: Your money is protected, and communication is documented.
Warranty: You can rely on a warranty for labor and materials provided by the handyman.
Control: Everything – from the initial request to the final payment, is under your control.

Ideas for Companies and Families Looking to Grow Online

Smart Repair Planning: If you manage properties or Airbnb apartments, create templates for frequent repairs and post them automatically through Fix! for faster service.
Digital Archive: Store photos, invoices, and warranties in the cloud to track the history of each repair.
Own Handyman Services Brand: If you are a handyman or have a team, use Fix! to build your own online profile with reviews, photos, and certificates – this is the best digital showcase in 2025.
Leverage Geolocation: Develop strategies for local marketing – target neighborhoods with the most repairs and optimize your offers according to demand.
