Mica

Whether you're fixing a leaky tap at midnight or starting a weekend renovation, you need someone who understands what you actually need—not what they think you should buy. Mica serves Pretoria's mix of Edwardian homes, modern estates, and apartment blocks, where DIY culture runs strong and building codes matter. The store stocks essentials for the jobs homeowners tackle themselves: fasteners that won't corrode in Gauteng's dry climate, paint that handles the extremes between summer heat and winter cold, pipes for the burst-prone older suburbs around Arcadia and Menlyn. Staff here know the difference between what works in theory and what survives a Pretoria summer or holds up when loadshedding has you rewiring your setup. They're the place people return to because the hardware you buy actually does the job.
