Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do waterproofing in El Carmel. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. There are two very different scenarios when we talk about sanitaryware. The first is a spot replacement. A toilet that has cracked, a sink broken by a falling bottle, a bathtub that you want to convert into a shower tray for accessibility. These are half-day or one-day interventions at most, not requiring major work. The second is a complete bathroom renovation, where we change everything at once and coordinate various trades.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. We always replace flexible hoses, stopcocks, and old sealant to prevent future leaks. For spot replacements, we visit the same day or the next. We measure what's installed, check the drain type, and assess if the subfloor and tiles will withstand the change without needing retouching. If it's a direct swap, we give you a fixed price and bring the new sanitaryware. If the change involves retouching tiling or drains, we'll tell you beforehand so you know the full scope.

When to call for waterproofing in El Carmel

Toilets with high-level, low-level, or concealed cisterns, wall-hung models on concealed frames, rimless models (no inner rim) which are more hygienic and easier to clean. Basins on pedestals, inset into countertops, wall-hung with visible traps. Shower screens and bath panels: fixed, sliding, folding, or corner. Standard bathtubs, simple whirlpool baths, and extra-flat shower trays when doing a full renovation. Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over without treating the dampness never works; it always returns. Saltpetre, especially on the frontline of the sea, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render are salts that rise with moisture. Painting over without addressing the source is a waste of time and money; the new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to chip away the affected render, neutralise the salts with specific chemicals, and only then apply the paint system.

Materials and brands

Manufacturer's official warranty on the sanitaryware plus our labour coverage. Absolutely. Quality plastics, painter's tape, hardboard depending on the surface. Everything cleaned and vacuumed upon completion. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur and a professional result lies in the preparation and finishing steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic. Applying precise painter's tape to edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with specific filler before painting, not after. Sanding between coats for a perfect finish. Applying primer when the wall requires it. Removing the tape before the paint fully dries. These details separate a paint job that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected after a month.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint a whole house?
An 80-100 m² home with a crew of 2 people takes 3-4 days to paint with two coats. If walls need repair, ceiling popcorn removal, or dampness treatment beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor with our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies authorised for vertical work.
Do you treat rising damp?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over without treating the dampness never works; it always returns.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do completely: demolition, plumbing, electrics, tiling, sanitaryware, and painting. For larger renovations, we refer you to a specialised construction partner.
Do you cover and protect the house before painting?
Of course. We cover floors with hardboard or thick plastic, protect sockets and skirting boards with tape, and move light furniture. We move heavy items to the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and without obligation. A prior visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. Detailed itemised quote within 24-48 hours.
