Dresser repair at your home
No need to take the dresser apart or haul it to a workshop: the handyman fixes the drawers on site.
Usually there in 2–4 hours
We take requests on WhatsApp and Telegram around the clock. The handyman works every day from 08:00 to 20:00.
Ball-bearing instead of rollers
New ball-bearing slides hold up to 30 kg, old roller slides about 15 kg. The drawer opens fully instead of two thirds, so you reach things at the back.
Price before the work starts
Basic repair from 2800 RSD. The handyman checks the drawers, names the exact price and only then starts.
Tools and hardware with us
We bring tools, screws, metal brackets and slides. If your dresser needs a special model, we source it.
Not only dressers
We also repair kitchen drawers, handleless push-to-open dressers, pull-out baskets and drawers inside wardrobes.
Warranty up to 6 months
On installation and replaced hardware. If a joint fails through the handyman's fault, we come back and fix it free of charge.

Спасибо мастеру Илье, оперативно приехал и заменил смесители!
Sjajna cena i posao, veoma sam zadovoljan radom odrađenim
Needed a kitchen faucet replaced. Sent pictures of the current and replacement faucets and sink via WhatsApp. Had a response from Ilya the plumber within a couple hours. Arranged an appointment the following day, as this was not an emergency. Ilya worked around my schedule as well. Showed up right on time and did an excellent job swapping the faucets. Even did a little extra in my bathroom which was much appreciated. The best service I have experienced in Novi Sad to date. Highly recommended and will definitely use this service in the future if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dresser Repair
How Much Does Dresser Repair Cost in Novi Sad?
Basic repair starts from 2,800 dinars. Drawer slide replacement costs from 3,500 dinars, reinforcing sagging drawer bottoms from 2,100 dinars, and adjusting drawer fronts from 2,800 dinars. Final pricing depends on the scope of work and materials selected. Free photo-based estimates via messengers.
How Long Does Dresser Repair Take?
Standard repairs take 1–3 hours at your location. Simple tasks like replacing slides or adjustments take 1–2 hours. More complex work such as replacing drawer bottoms or deep restoration takes 2–3 hours. The handyman usually arrives within 2–4 hours of your request.
Which Drawer Slides Are Better?
Two options available: roller slides (budget-friendly, pull out approximately 2/3 of drawer length) and ball-bearing telescopic slides (higher cost, but open drawer fully to 100%, support up to 30 kg vs. 15 kg for roller type, operate smoothly and quietly). We recommend ball-bearing slides for longer durability.
Do You Repair IKEA Dressers?
Yes, we work with all dresser types including IKEA furniture. We repair pieces made from chipboard, MDF, and solid wood. We often upgrade IKEA's basic roller slides to more reliable ball-bearing ones and reinforce flimsy drawer bottoms.
My Drawer Bottom Sagged — Can It Be Fixed Without Full Replacement?
Depends on the severity. For minor sagging, we add support ribs or metal corner brackets and the bottom holds up fine. If fiberboard has torn or severely warped, it's better to replace it with thicker fiberboard (6mm) or chipboard (10mm).
Do I Need to Empty Drawers Before Repair?
Yes, please empty the drawers we'll be repairing. This speeds up the work and protects your belongings from damage. If we're replacing slides, only the repaired drawers need to be emptied — others can stay untouched.
Can You Come Today?
Yes, the handyman usually arrives the same day within 2–4 hours. If he is busy, we schedule a convenient time for tomorrow. We work Monday–Sunday, 08:00 to 20:00.
How Do I Pay for the Work?
Payment in cash or by bank transfer after repair completion. You inspect the results first, and only pay if satisfied. No upfront deposits required.
How Do I Know It's Time to Replace Drawer Slides?
Main symptoms: drawers pull out with resistance, get stuck, or come completely loose; squeaking or cracking noises when opening; drawer won't open all the way (old roller slides only open 2/3); visible broken rollers or bent slide rails; drawers tilt or wobble when pulled out.
Do You Repair Kitchen Drawers, TV Stands and Pull-Out Baskets?
Yes. The mechanisms are the same as in a dresser: slides, push-to-open latches, soft-close dampers and fittings. We replace and adjust them on site.
Is There a Warranty on Dresser Repair?
Yes, up to 6 months on installation and replaced hardware, slides included. If a joint fails through the handyman's fault, we come back and fix it free of charge.
