How much does property maintenance cost in Auckland for handyman, repairs, and renovations?

Pricing depends on job type, property size, and materials. As a guide: gutter cleaning starts from $249 (see Exterior Cleaning), fence and gate repairs are quoted after inspection (see Fencing), kitchen or bathroom upgrades are priced by scope (see Kitchen Maintenance and Bathroom Maintenance), and full renovations require a free on-site assessment (see Renovations). Bundling tasks in one visit often saves time and money.

What areas do you service?

We cover South, East, Central, West, and North Auckland — including Papakura, Manurewa, Flat Bush, Howick, Mt Wellington, Ponsonby, Albany, and more. We also take on project-based work in Hamilton and Huntly. See our full service area map for details.

Can we book multiple services together?

Yes. Many customers combine services such as fence repairs with gutter cleaning, interior painting with minor handyman repairs, or bathroom upgrades with kitchen improvements. Bundling reduces costs and minimises disruption — just tell us what you need when requesting a quote.

Do you offer Healthy Homes inspections or compliance work?

We don’t perform official Healthy Homes assessments, but we do complete repairs and upgrades based on your report — including door seals and draught stoppers, bathroom and kitchen extractor fans, moisture barriers, ventilation improvements, and related maintenance.

Are your services insured?

Yes. We are fully insured for property maintenance, handyman work, painting, and renovations, with strong safety practices on every job.

Yes — especially for safety-related issues like broken gates, blocked gutters, or damaged flooring. Contact us early in the day and we’ll confirm if same-day service is possible in your area.

How quickly can I get a property maintenance quote?

We aim to reply within 24 hours. Smaller jobs can often be estimated by email or phone; larger or complex projects may need a free on-site assessment to confirm scope and pricing.

Bathroom Renovation Case Study

Bathroom Water Damage Renovation — Auckland

Rental Property Restoration Project | Full Bathroom Rebuild

Project Summary

Service Type: Bathroom Renovation & Water Damage Repair
Location: South Auckland
Timeline: 1 Week
Property Type: Rental Property
Category: Interior Renovation & Property Maintenance

Project Background

The rental property bathroom had suffered hidden water damage caused by prolonged moisture exposure beneath tiled surfaces. Structural materials were compromised, creating potential long-term issues if not addressed promptly.

The property manager required a full remediation and renovation solution that would restore the bathroom’s functionality, improve durability, and meet rental compliance standards — while minimising tenant downtime.

DCW Services was engaged to manage both the water damage remediation and full bathroom refurbishment.

Our Bathroom Renovation & Repair Process

1. Damage Assessment

We conducted a detailed site inspection to identify moisture sources, hidden structural damage, and affected materials. Moisture mapping was used to ensure no compromised areas were missed.

2. Safe Removal & Prep

Damaged flooring, wall linings, and fixtures were carefully removed. The work area was isolated to prevent dust and moisture contamination during remediation.

3. Installation

New waterproof substrates, flooring, wall linings, and fixtures were installed. A modern shower enclosure and updated fittings were added to improve durability and usability.

4. Finishing & Checks

Final sealing, and finishing were completed to NZ standards. The bathroom was tested for leaks and drainage performance before handover.

Challenges & How We Solved Them

Hidden Moisture Damage

Once demolition began, additional structural damage was discovered beneath flooring. We adjusted the scope to include reinforcement and moisture-resistant materials.

Waterproofing Precision

Critical junction points were reinforced using professional waterproofing membranes to prevent future leaks.

Tenant Downtime Management

Work sequencing was optimised to minimise disruption and restore bathroom functionality quickly.

Project Results

Structural Integrity Restored
Damaged subflooring and framing were reinforced for long-term durability.

Modern Bathroom Finish
Updated fittings and finishes delivered a clean, contemporary look.

Improved Rental Compliance
Renovation met current building and waterproofing standards.

Tenant Satisfaction
