City Bowl
Plumber, electrician and handyman in Gardens, Cape Town
Yes, Fix Pro covers Gardens, from Victorian and Edwardian houses to the blocks of flats up the slope. Call or WhatsApp us with what is wrong, and we tell you who will come and what it should cost before anything is booked.
Many Gardens homes are more than a century old. Behind the pressed ceilings and timber floors there can be galvanised pipes rusting from the inside and wiring that several owners have added to. Timber doors and sash windows have usually moved over the years too.
We repair what is worth keeping and tell you plainly when it is time to replace. We also cover Tamboerskloof, Oranjezicht, Vredehoek and the City Centre, and your Project Manager manages every job, agrees the price, sends the right person and checks the work.

Questions from Gardens
My water pressure is weak and the water runs brown at first. Is it the pipes?
In older Gardens houses it is often galvanised steel pipe rusting from the inside, but we check before saying so. Pipe replacement starts from R2 800, and we quote the full run once we have seen it.
Does my old house need rewiring?
Not always. Fault finding, from R1 500, tells us whether the problem is one circuit or the whole house. Full rewiring starts from R7 500, and we only recommend it when patching would cost you more over time.
Parking is tight on my street. Is that a problem?
No, but tell us when you book whether there is off-street parking or a loading bay nearby, so whoever comes can plan for it.
