Fast, clean, and affordable help with faucets, shower heads, handles, cartridges, caulking, and drain stoppers. This is fixture-level work only (no pipe alterations). I bring the right tools and leave everything tidy.

About Me

Hi, I’m Ruslan — a professional handyman with 15+ years of experience. I help homeowners in Ottawa keep taps and fixtures working like new: replacing cartridges and handles, fixing drips, resealing sinks and tubs with fresh caulk, and adjusting shower hardware.

I focus on fixture-level tasks. Clear communication, careful protection of surfaces, and neat cleanup are part of every visit.

Why Clients Choose Me

• Quick fixes for drips, leaks at the handle, and loose taps
• Cartridge & handle replacement for many common faucet brands
• Clean caulking around sinks, tubs, and showers
• Shower head, hand shower, and hose swaps; drain stopper adjustments
• Evenings & weekends available — fully insured & registered in Ontario

Is This Service Right for You?

When This Service Is a Good Fit

• Dripping faucet or leak around the handle (often a worn cartridge or seals)
• Loose faucet handle, noisy operation, or inconsistent hot/cold mixing
• Replacing a shower head, hose, hand shower, or trim (fixture-level)
• Old, cracked, or moldy caulk around sinks, tubs, or showers (re-caulking)
• Drain stopper not sealing or not moving properly (adjustment/replacement)

When This Service Is Not the Right Fit

This service is limited to fixture-level replacements and adjustments only. If the issue involves hidden pipe leaks, pipe replacement or relocation, valve work inside walls, or any work that requires a plumbing permit, I will let you know and recommend contacting a licensed plumber.

How the Service Is Delivered

How the Visit Works

1. Quick assessment of the fixture and the cause of the issue.
2. Protection of surrounding surfaces (countertop, vanity, tub edge) before work begins.
3. Fixture-level replacement/adjustment (cartridge, handle, shower head, stopper, caulk renewal).
4. Testing: water flow, temperature mixing, and leak check before I leave.
5. Cleanup and a clear summary of what was done.

To Help Complete the Job Faster

• If possible, send a photo of the fixture and brand/model (or the old cartridge/handle).
• Clear a small space under the sink or around the tub/shower area.
• Let me know if water shut-off valves are accessible and working.

Customer Reviews

Pricing Approach

Each fixture task is quoted as a flat rate based on the specific work required (for example: cartridge or handle swap, shower head change, caulking renewal, or drain stopper adjustment). If multiple fixture tasks are completed during the same visit, the overall quote may be adjusted accordingly. All pricing is confirmed before work begins — no hidden fees.

If the job requires parts, I can help identify compatible options. Any parts are discussed and approved before purchase. If the issue turns out to be outside fixture-level work (for example, a hidden pipe leak), I will explain the situation before any next steps.
