We offer four bathroom handyman services, from one moldy caulk line to a set of new towel bars. Pick the one that matches what you see in the bathroom.
Moldy or cracked caulk removed and replaced with fresh mold-resistant sealant.
Cracked, missing or stained grout raked out, regrouted and sealed in showers and floors.
Cracked, chipped and loose tiles replaced and matched as closely as possible.
Towel bars, medicine cabinets, shower rods and toilet seats mounted solidly on any wall.
Choose by where the problem is. The seal where tub meets wall is caulk, the lines between tiles are grout, broken tiles are tile repair, and anything screwed to the wall is accessories.

Before a bathroom repair in New Jersey, check who is allowed to do the work, whether water is already getting behind the tile and whether the problem is the joint or the tile itself.
In New Jersey, plumbing is licensed work regulated by the State Board of Examiners of Master Plumbers, and wiring of 10 volts or more needs a licensed electrical contractor. Our handyman vs plumber in NJ guide has the full breakdown.
A stain on the ceiling under a bathroom can come from failed caulk letting shower water behind the tile, or from a leaking pipe. The order matters: stop the water, then seal. Our guide on when to recaulk a shower, and signs of hidden leaks shows what to look for.
Look at the caulk line
Gaps, peeling edges or dark spots mean water can get in.
Check the room below
A stain or soft spot on the ceiling points to water behind the wall.
Leak? Plumber first
A pipe or valve leak is fixed by a licensed master plumber.
Dry, then reseal
Joints are cleaned and dried before new sealant goes on.
Tap the tile with a knuckle. A solid sound usually means only the grout needs work; a hollow sound or a tile that moves means the problem is under it. Many older Essex County bathrooms have tile that is no longer made, so keep any spares. See regrout or replace tile.
Humid New Jersey summers make bathrooms slow to dry, which gives mold more time on caulk and grout. Most repeat repairs come from the shortcuts below, and each one has a simple fix.
You send photos or describe the job, and we check for signs of a leak first. If the photos show enough, you get a written quote; if not, we visit first, at no charge. Nothing is booked until you approve it.
Text or upload close-ups of the caulk, grout or tile, the ceiling below and your town.
Stains or soft spots are flagged for a plumber. If it needs a closer look, we visit first, at no charge.
You receive a written quote that says exactly which joints, tiles and fixtures are included.
The joints or tiles are repaired and sealed, the bathroom is cleaned and you get the cure time.

We look at the ceiling below and the joints first, so new caulk never hides water that is still getting in.
Joints are stripped, cleaned and dried before any new bead goes on, so the seal bonds to the tub and tile.
Damaged tiles are cut out without disturbing the ones around them, which matters when replacements are hard to find.
Tile, drywall and plaster each get the right bit and anchor, so towel bars and cabinets don't pull loose.
Faucets, toilets and drains go to a licensed master plumber, and fans or lit mirrors to an electrician.
Every joint, tile and fixture in the job is written down, so nothing is added once we arrive at your home.
These are the questions homeowners ask most before a bathroom repair. For general questions, read the handyman FAQ.
No. In New Jersey, plumbing work, including small repairs, is done by a licensed master plumber. We handle the caulk, grout, tile and accessories around the fixtures. Our handyman vs plumber in NJ guide explains who handles what.
When the caulk cracks, peels, pulls away from the tub or has dark spots that won't clean off. A stain on the ceiling below the bathroom can also mean the caulk has failed. Our guide on when to recaulk a shower covers the signs.
Sometimes. Mold on the surface can often be cleaned, but mold that has grown under or into the caulk comes back, so the caulk has to come out. Our guide on black mold in shower caulk explains how to tell.
It depends on the sealant's cure time printed on the label. You will hear the exact wait before we leave, because water on uncured caulk is the most common reason a new bead fails.
Regrout when the tiles are solid and only the joints are cracked, missing or stained. Replace tiles when they are cracked, loose or sound hollow. Our guide on whether to regrout or replace tile gives clear criteria.
Spare tiles from the original job match best, so check the basement or storage closets before we start. Otherwise we use the closest available match, which is harder with older or discontinued tile.
Usually from something dropped on it, movement in the floor underneath or a gap in the adhesive below the tile. A single cracked tile can often be replaced alone. Our guide on cracked bathroom tile covers the causes and options.
Not when it is done right. Tile is drilled with the right bit at low speed, without hammer mode, and the hole is sealed afterward so water stays out of the wall.
Csiszer Property Maintenance, an insured handyman company serving Essex County and Union County, NJ, installs them through our grab bar installation service. Grab bars go into studs or anchors rated to hold a person's weight, never into a towel bar mount.
No. Both involve wiring, and New Jersey requires a licensed electrical contractor for electrical work of 10 volts or more. A plain mirror or a surface-mount medicine cabinet without lights, yes.
