Home repairs in Bulgaria: where to start

Bought or rented a place on the coast and need repairs? The main hurdle for non-Bulgarian speakers is the language barrier. Here it is step by step.

Where to start

Define the scope. A point task (a leaking tap, a dead socket) or a full job (finishing, remodelling)? That decides whether you need one pro or a crew.
Take photos. A Bulgarian pro can quote from a photo far more easily than from a description.
Compare a few offers. The first quoted price isn't always the market rate.

The pros people need most

Plumber — taps, boilers, leaks.
Electrician — sockets, the panel, wiring.
Finisher — filling, painting, tiling.
Furniture assembly — especially for rental apartments.

How not to overpay

Don't pay the full amount upfront. The normal practice is an advance for materials and settlement on completion. Confirm whether materials are included in the price.

Find a pro

Describe the task and attach photos — pros for repairs on the Bulgarian coast send offers within 5–15 minutes. You deal with the pro directly, no fees.
