How to get the best quotes on Bidfix
A clear description and a couple of good photos are the difference between “it depends” and an accurate price. Here’s how to do it in a few minutes.

Describing the job
The more a handyman knows, the more accurate the price.
Include, where it’s relevant:
- What needs doing, in one sentence
- Where in the home (kitchen, bedroom, balcony, which wall)
- Sizes and how many (a 55 inch TV, 3 shelves, a 2 meter wardrobe)
- Brand or model if there is one (IKEA PAX, Samsung, and so on)
- The wall type if you know it: concrete (beton) or plasterboard (gevess)
- Whether you already have the parts, or the handyman should bring them
- Anything about access: floor, elevator, parking
Need a TV mounted.
Mount a 55 inch Samsung TV on a concrete living room wall. I have a fixed bracket. I’d like the cables hidden if possible. 3rd floor, with elevator.
Leak in bathroom.
The pipe under the bathroom sink drips when the tap is on. There’s a small puddle after each use. Photo and short video attached.
Assemble furniture.
Assemble an IKEA PAX wardrobe, 150 cm wide, 236 cm high, and fix it to the wall. Boxes are in the bedroom.
Taking good photos
Photos are optional, but they are the fastest way to an accurate quote.
One wide shot
Show the whole area so the handyman understands the space.
One close-up
Show the problem itself: the crack, the drip, the broken hinge.
Something for scale
A tape measure or a familiar object helps judge sizes.
Good light
Turn on the lights or open the shutters. Avoid blurry photos.
Labels and boxes
For furniture or a TV, photograph the box, the model sticker or the instructions.
A short video when it helps
For a noise, a drip or something that won’t close, 10 to 20 seconds is plenty.
On your phone you can take the photo straight from the form. Up to 5 photos or videos per request.
After you send it
You don’t need to chase anyone. We do the searching.
We contact handymen for you
Our team personally reaches out to English-speaking handymen who fit the job and your area.
Quotes arrive in your messages
Each quote shows a price range, what’s included and the handyman’s full profile with photos of past work. We’ll let you know the way you chose.
Ask anything in the chat
Not sure which quote to pick, or what a term means? Ask us in the chat before you decide.
Choose your handyman
Choose the quote that works for you and keep talking with the handyman in the chat on Bidfix. You agree on the details and pay the handyman directly.
Handymen see the job details so they can quote, but not your name, phone number or full address. They get those only after you choose them. Bidfix is free and takes no fee from you or the handyman. The work agreement is between you and the handyman.
