We do furniture restoration in Argentona. We go to the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and get started. Changing a blind tape is probably the most requested repair in the entire area. The reason is structural. 90 per cent of homes in blocks in Torrevieja, Punta Prima, Pilar de la Horadada or La Mata have identical concept roll-up PVC blinds. PVC slats joined by internal tapes. A cotton traction tape that raises and lowers the blind. A recessed collector in the wall and an upper box with the axle and the rolled-up blind. The cotton tape is the weakest component. It suffers continuous friction every time you raise or lower the blind, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes. Degradation due to humidity. Its actual lifespan is around 8-12 years in normal use. After that point, it can break at any time.

The choice between different types of wood or wood-look flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use and desired aesthetic. AC4 laminated floating floorboards, which is what we sell most of today, combine an excellent quality-price ratio with resistance to intensive use. They consist of a melamine top layer with a realistic wood effect (high durability against friction), a high-density fibreboard core. A balancing bottom layer. The top layer has an AC4 rating (suitable for intense domestic use or moderate commercial use) and resists 25,000 abrasive cycles without visible wear. For standard domestic use, it lasts 15-25 years maintaining a good appearance. Its downside is that although visually very realistic, it is not natural wood and cannot be re-sanded and varnished if damaged at any point.

When to call for furniture restoration in Argentona

Changing the tape itself is a 30-45 minute operation per blind when the box is accessible. The real complexity lies in locating the internal break, opening the box without damaging it, removing the axle, taking out the old tape, passing the new one through the slats and the collector. Reassembling the entire unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, a blind can take three hours and end up worse than before. For technicians who do it daily, it's a 30-minute job with a clean result. Motorisation requires electrical power to the top box. If the wall of the box already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the nearest socket in the room), the installation is straightforward. If not, a cable must be run through an external conduit or a hidden channel. The complete motorisation operation takes 2-3 hours per blind when power is nearby. For all the blinds in an entire house, we can do it in 1-2 days. A highly requested improvement today is to combine a motorised blind with an integrated roll-up mosquito net in the same box. This allows both the blind and the mosquito net to operate independently, both hidden when not in use. It is the standard solution in modern new builds. For existing home renovations, it requires replacing the complete box with a new, deeper one that accommodates both systems.

Materials and brands

30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with official manufacturer's 5-year warranty. If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured and brittle (typical for blinds more than 25-30 years old exposed to the sun outdoors), repairing them point by point stops being economically viable. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs two to three times more than just changing the tape. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years of trouble-free use. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than the old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can order integrated motorisation from the factory. A modern and well-installed interior door perceptibly changes the feel of a room. An old, painted solid wood door from the 80s, with worn hinges that rub the floor and a loose handle, immediately lowers the perceived quality of the space. Replacing it with a modern lacquered MDF or multi-layered door with hidden adjustable hinges and a quality handle costs a reasonable amount and lasts another 30-40 years without seasonal movement or the need for periodic varnishing.

Indicative pricing

The price of furniture restoration in Argentona typically ranges between 95 and 1240 euros. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, the materials, and the working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Solid wood parquet is the traditional option. Each board is 100 per cent natural solid wood, typically oak, ash or walnut. Much more expensive to purchase and install, but it gives a unique character to the room because each board has a distinct natural grain. Its great advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears out or gets damaged, it can be sanded and re-varnished several times throughout its life. This is what was used in old high-end flats and what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to change a blind tape?
30-45 minutes per blind with a normal accessible box. If the box is closed with tiles or requires special opening, up to 90 minutes.
Is it worth motorising existing blinds?
Yes, when they are large, on high floors or if there is difficulty with mobility. The investment pays for itself in comfort within a season.
Do you work with WiFi home automation?
Yes, Somfy motors with WiFi remote compatible with Google Home and Alexa. Also integration with systems like Tahoma for full scheduling.
When should the entire blind be replaced?
If the slats are cracked, discoloured or brittle (more than 25-30 years outdoors). Repairing them individually is no longer cost-effective, and you're just buying time for an exhausted system.
Do you work with aluminium blinds?
For first-line coastal areas, we always recommend injected aluminium due to its resistance to saltpetre. For interior areas, reinforced PVC is a more economical equivalent option.
