Repair and handyman services profile on Websta in Romania

What your Websta profile should contain

Your profile page on Websta works like a website for your repair business. It has sections where you describe what you do, show photos of completed work, list your services, and let customers contact you or book directly.

Start with a clear description of the types of repair and handyman work you do. Mention whether you handle plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, appliance repair, general maintenance, or other specific trades. Romanians looking for repair services want to know quickly whether you can help with their problem.

Add photos of your work. Use real images from completed jobs - before and after shots work well if the customer agrees. Photos help potential clients trust your skills and understand the quality they can expect. Even three to five good photos are better than none.

Create a list of the main services you offer with brief descriptions. If you do general handyman work, you can list plumbing repairs, carpentry, electrical maintenance, painting, tile work, or whatever applies to your business. Keep descriptions short and practical.

Include a contact section where customers can reach you by phone, email, or a contact form. Many Romanians prefer direct contact before committing to a booking, so make sure this is easy to find. You can also set up online booking or quote requests so people can describe their job and you can respond with a price.

Languages and location on your profile

Set your profile language to Romanian if that is your main language. Websta allows you to publish your profile in multiple languages, so if you speak English or another language, you can add those versions too. Many Romanians search in Romanian, but in larger cities and tourist areas, some customers may look in English.

Your profile should clearly state the town or towns where you work. On Websta, customers search by service and location, so if you cover multiple towns or regions - for example, Bucharest and surrounding areas - list all places you serve. This helps people in your service area find you.

How customers in Romania search for repair services

On Websta, people search for repair services by the type of work they need done and by their location. A customer in Bucharest might search 'plumbing repair Bucharest' or 'handyman services near me'. Someone in Cluj-Napoca looking for carpentry work will search by that service and city.

Some customers use the marketplace to post a task - they describe their repair job and the location, and providers can make offers. This gives you a way to bid on jobs from people who are actively looking for someone to help.

Having a complete profile with clear service descriptions, your location, and recent photos makes you more visible in these searches. Customers are more likely to contact or book a provider whose profile shows they do the exact work needed.

Setting up as an independent repair provider in Romania

Before you start taking bookings through Websta, make sure you have the right legal status. In Romania, you can work as a self-employed person (persoană fizică autorizată), a sole trader (PFA), a limited liability company (SRL), or another registered business form. Check with your local tax office or the Chamber of Commerce to understand which status fits your situation and what registration you need.

You will need a bank account to receive payments. Websta uses Stripe to process card payments, and the money goes directly into your own bank account. This is separate from Websta - you control your own pricing and keep the money you earn. Make sure your bank account is set up and ready before you activate payments on your profile.

Understand the tax and accounting rules for your type of business. As a self-employed repair provider, you will have reporting duties and may need to keep records of your work and income. Your local tax authority (Agenția Națională de Administrare Fiscală) can provide guidance, or you can speak to an accountant who works with small service businesses.

What to write in your first hour

Start with a headline that says what you do. For example, 'Plumbing and general handyman repairs in Bucharest' or 'Carpentry and home maintenance services across Transylvania'. This tells people immediately whether you can help them.

Write a short description - two to three sentences about your experience and what you specialize in. You do not need to write a lot. Say something like: 'I handle plumbing, electrical, and general repair work in homes and small businesses. I have 8 years of experience and I aim to fix problems quickly and professionally.'

List five to seven of your main services. Use simple names: plumbing repair, carpentry, painting, electrical maintenance, appliance repair, tile work, general handyman work. Add one sentence describing each if you want, but keep it clear and short.

Add your town or region and set your working area. If you work across several towns, list them all.

Write a straightforward service request or booking message that tells customers how to reach you. You can ask them to describe their job and you will respond with a quote, or let them book a consultation call.

Photos and updates over time

Add photos as soon as you can. Even if you only have a few pictures of past work, upload them. Update your gallery over time as you complete new jobs. Photos are one of the main reasons customers choose to contact you.

Keep your profile updated with your current availability and services. If you add a new skill or stop offering a particular service, update your profile so customers know what to expect.
