Handyman in Antibes & Juan-les-Pins, at fixed prices
Shelves, holes in walls, flat-pack furniture, a roller shutter strap that snapped, a sliding door that drags: all the small jobs nobody wants to come out for. Send a photo, get a fixed price before we come.
What we can fix
Antibes and Juan-les-Pins have a lot of second homes and holiday rentals, and the same small jobs come back again and again: things to hang, holes to fill, shutters and sliding doors worn by sun, sand and salt air.
Fixing and hanging
Shelves, curtain rods, mirrors, pictures, TV wall brackets (simple mounts), grab bars: drilled cleanly with the right wall plug for the wall, whether it's plasterboard, hollow brick or concrete.
Filling and touch-ups
Holes from old shelves and frames filled and sanded, small cracks, paint touch-ups if you have the original paint, and tired silicone seals around baths, showers and basins redone.
Shutters and sliding doors
Broken roller shutter straps or cranks, damaged slats, a shutter stuck at an angle, worn rollers on a sliding glass door that drags or jumps its track. Mechanical repairs only, on parts we can source.
Furniture and small electrics
Flat-pack furniture assembled and secured to the wall when needed. Light bulbs, spotlights and ceiling lights replaced on existing fittings, switches and sockets swapped like for like.
What we do, and what we don't
We stick to small repairs. If your job needs a specialist (electrician, plumber, joiner, shutter motor technician), we'll tell you from the photo rather than charge you for a wasted trip.
We do
- Small repairs that fit in a visit of two hours or less
- Like-for-like replacements on existing installations
- Roller shutter straps, cranks and slats; sliding door rollers
- Visits arranged with you remotely, with photos once the job is done
- Holiday rentals between two guests, for hosts and concierge services
We don't (we'll point you elsewhere)
- Electric shutter motors, home automation, new electrical circuits
- Plumbing beyond resealing, full repainting, flooring
- Very large or heavy sliding doors that can't be lifted out safely
- Work at height that needs scaffolding or a cherry picker
- Selling or delivering the items to be fitted

Frequently asked questions
How much does a handyman cost in Antibes?
Our prices are fixed and include travel and basic hardware: €49 for a single quick job (30 minutes max), €69 for a one-hour visit, €119 for two hours. We confirm which one applies from a photo before coming, so the price we quote is the price you pay. Specific parts (a shutter strap, sliding door rollers, a light fitting) are not included.
Do you speak English?
Yes. You can write to us in English on WhatsApp or by email, and we reply in English. Prices and invoices are the same as for our French-speaking clients.
I live abroad and own a flat in Antibes. Can you work without me being there?
Yes, as long as someone can let us in or the keys are accessible (key box, caretaker, concierge). Send photos of what needs fixing, we agree on the price and slot, and we send you photos once it's done.
Can you fix my sliding glass door?
Usually, yes: worn rollers, a dirty track, a handle or catch that no longer lines up. The door panel has to be lifted out to change the rollers, so for very large or heavy panels, a damaged track, or parts that can no longer be found, we'll tell you from the photo and point you to a joiner.
How quickly can you come?
Usually within 48 hours in Antibes and Juan-les-Pins. For Golfe-Juan, just next door, mention it in your message and we'll fit it into an Antibes round.
Can I get the French tax credit?
If you are a French tax resident, yes: home handyman services qualify for the 50% service-à-la-personne tax credit, whether or not you pay income tax, within the €500 annual cap per household for small handyman jobs (visits of 2 hours maximum). In practice, the one-hour visit at €69 costs you €34.50. Parts you buy yourself are not covered, and the tax credit does not apply to jobs invoiced to businesses. You receive a tax certificate every year.
