## Overview

A full New Year home refresh package for a 2BHK in India costs ₹5,000–₹25,000 in 2026 depending on scope. Standard package: deep house clean (₹2,500–₹5,000) + touch-up painting (₹1,500–₹5,000) + handyman fixes for the year's small issues (₹500–₹3,000) + optional sofa clean (₹1,500–₹3,000). Book in the last week of December — most Solve24 professionals have 30–40% availability that week and are willing to bundle at 10–15% discount.

## The full New Year refresh package

A New Year refresh is not just deep cleaning. It combines four categories of small work that accumulate over a year and are easier to tackle together than one-by-one through the year.

- Deep cleaning — every room, kitchen, bathrooms
- Touch-up painting — scratches, marks, kids' scribbles
- Handyman fixes — squeaky doors, loose fittings, one broken switch
- Sofa + mattress cleaning — deep shampoo
- Optional add-ons — plumber inspection, electrician check, curtain wash

## What a touch-up painting round looks like

Touch-up painting is different from a full repaint. The painter carries small colour matches for your walls, touches up marks and scratches, and refreshes doors and skirting.

- Painter carries 3–5 colour matches for your walls (bring old paint code if available).
- Wall marks and scratches — brush touch-up, dries in 2 hours.
- Doors — spot touch-up on chipped edges.
- Skirting board — refresh the white line at floor level.
- Kitchen tile grouting — whitening treatment.
- Cost: ₹1,500–₹5,000 for a full 2BHK round, half day of work.

## Small handyman fixes to bundle

A half-day handyman visit at ₹500–₹1,500 covers 5–8 small fixes. Make a list before booking so nothing is missed.

- Squeaky door hinges — oil / adjust
- Loose door handle or knob
- One broken switch or socket cover
- Wobbly bathroom towel rail
- Loose kitchen cabinet handle
- Missing light bulb / tube
- Broken curtain rod bracket
- Bathroom exhaust fan cleaning

## Booking window and negotiation

Last week of December is the sweet spot. Professionals have low bookings in that week (holiday lull), most are willing to bundle at a 10–15% discount if you commit to all four categories at once. Avoid Jan 1–5 when everyone else has the same idea and rates return to normal.

## Book on Solve24

Solve24 lets you contact a cleaner, painter, handyman and electrician independently and coordinate them for the same 2–3 day window. Or book one all-round professional who quotes the whole package. Commission-based apps typically bundle at ₹15,000–₹30,000 for the same scope.

## Frequently asked

### How much does a New Year home refresh cost in India 2026?

₹5,000–₹25,000 for a 2BHK depending on scope. Basic (deep clean + handyman) ₹3,500–₹6,500. Standard (add touch-up paint + sofa) ₹8,000–₹15,000. Full (add mattress + curtains + inspections) ₹15,000–₹25,000.

### When should I book the New Year refresh?

Last week of December. Availability is high, rates are 10–15% lower than early January (when everyone else books), and you enter New Year with a done home.

### Can I book everything from Solve24 for the same week?

Yes — contact a cleaner, painter, handyman separately and coordinate dates on WhatsApp. Or find one all-round contractor who quotes the full package.

### Is touch-up painting worth doing separately from full repaint?

Yes if the walls are 2+ years old but not yet due for full repaint. ₹1,500–₹5,000 buys you 12+ more months of "new-looking" walls without the ₹15,000–₹35,000 full repaint cost.

### What if I only have ₹5,000 budget?

Prioritise: 1) deep clean (₹2,500), 2) 3-seat sofa clean (₹1,000), 3) handyman half-day (₹1,000). That gets 80% of the "refreshed home" feel at a quarter of the full package cost.
