Market reference range · actual price per quotation · Market estimates, not yet derived from completed jobs · last reviewed July 2026
The real price comes from the technician’s quotation. Usually it is priced from the photos and details you send on LINE, with no visit first; for some jobs the technician needs to see the site first and then sends the quote. Either way you confirm the price, and only then does the work start.
A visit costs 500 baht when the technician comes from your own province and 2,000 baht from another one. It is counted inside the quote’s single total rather than billed separately, and it is not refunded if you look and decide against the repair.
If a job needs the technician to see the site before a quote can be given, and that look ends with you deciding against the work, whether the visit is charged depends on the job; you are told before the visit.
The quoted total covers every item you confirmed, but not replacement parts: whether any are needed can only be established on site, and if they are, they are charged on top of the total.
What changes the price
- How many tasks get combined into one visit — the more tasks per visit, the lower the average price per task
- Actual time spent on site and how fiddly each task is — a job under an hour is billed at the minimum labour charge; anything longer is billed for the actual hours
- Whether materials or parts need to be bought — supplying your own fixtures and hardware costs less than having the technician source them for you
How to spend less
- Collect every small unfinished task around the property and report them together on LINE in one go — far cheaper than calling a technician out for each one on a different day
- Have the fixture or item you want mounted ready in advance if you can — it cuts the time the technician spends sourcing it, and the cost that goes with that
- List every task up front so the total price is accurate from the start, rather than needing a second visit for something you forgot to mention
Frequently asked questions
Am I being charged a foreigner price for this?
The ranges here are the same market reference regardless of who's asking. What actually protects you is that the technician confirms the total for your task list over LINE, in writing, before coming out — compare it against this page and question anything that doesn't fit.
A minimum charge for hanging one shelf seems steep for such a small job — is that normal?
It covers the technician's time regardless of how quick the task itself is, which is standard for on-demand home repair anywhere, not a Thailand-specific or foreigner-specific charge. It's also exactly why bundling several small tasks into one visit is worth doing — that minimum gets spread across all of them instead of paid once per task.
Can I get several unrelated small jobs done in a single visit?
Yes — list everything on LINE and the technician quotes the time and total as one job, which works out cheaper than booking each task separately.
Why do two mounting jobs of a similar-looking item cost different amounts?
It comes down to the weight of what's being hung, the wall type, and how high the mounting point is — a solid concrete wall takes a simple anchor, while a light partition wall needs a different, more time-consuming fixing, so the price follows the actual wall condition.
