We carry out furniture restoration in Cerdanyola del Vallès. We visit your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur result and a professional one lies in the preparation and finishing steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic sheeting. Applying precise masking 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 tape before the paint fully dries. Those details separate a paint job that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected after a month.

How we work

The process is laborious. We apply a thick levelling filler over the textured plaster (gotelé) and let it partially dry. We sand it down with an orbital sander until the surface is completely smooth. We apply a sealing primer and two coats of plastic paint. The dust generated during sanding is considerable. We cover the entire room with plastic sheeting before starting and vacuum carefully when finished. A standard 15 m² room, skimmed and painted, takes 2-3 days of work.

When to call for furniture restoration in Cerdanyola del Vallès

Yes, we organise work by rooms so you have unaffected areas. Water-based paints with almost no odour allow you to live in the house during the work. Changing a shutter strap is probably the most requested repair in the entire area. The reason is structural. 90 percent of homes in blocks in Torrevieja, Punta Prima, Pilar de la Horadada, or La Mata have identical roller PVC shutters. PVC slats joined by internal straps. A cotton pull strap that raises and lowers the shutter. A strap winder embedded in the wall and a top box with the axle and the rolled-up shutter. The cotton strap is the weakest component. It suffers continuous friction every time you raise or lower the shutter, thermal expansion and contraction with temperature changes, and degradation from moisture. Its actual lifespan is around 8-12 years with normal use. After that, it can break at any moment, typically in the middle of summer when you lower the shutter at midday to escape the sun and it gets stuck halfway. Changing the strap itself is a 30-45 minute operation per shutter 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 strap, threading the new one through the slats and the winder. Reassembling the whole unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, a shutter could take three hours and end up worse than before. For the technicians who do it daily, it's a 30-minute job with a clean result.

Materials and brands

Certainly. Quality plastics, masking tape, foam board depending on the surface. Everything cleaned and vacuumed upon completion. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with a 5-year manufacturer's official warranty. If the shutter slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for shutters over 25-30 years old in exterior areas exposed to the sun), patching point by point makes no economic sense. Replacing the entire shutter with a modern model costs between two and three times more than just changing the strap. In return, you get another 25-30 years without problems. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than old hollow ones, so thermal insulation improves. And you can opt for factory-integrated motorisation.

Estimated pricing

The price for furniture restoration in Cerdanyola del Vallès typically ranges between €95 and €1240. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetic. Laminate floating flooring AC4, which is what we sell most of today, combines excellent value for money with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top melamine layer with a realistic wood effect (high scratch resistance), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balancing layer underneath. The top layer has an AC4 rating (suitable for intense domestic use or moderate commercial use) and withstands 25,000 abrasive cycles without visible wear. For standard domestic use, it lasts 15-25 years looking good. Its drawback is that although it's visually very realistic, it's not natural wood and cannot be sanded and revarnished if damaged.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to change a shutter strap?
30-45 minutes per shutter with accessible normal box. If the box is tiled over or requires special opening, up to 90 minutes.
Is it worth motorising existing shutters?
Yes, for large ones, on upper floors, or if mobility is difficult. The investment pays for itself in comfort within one 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 programming.
When should I replace the whole shutter?
If slats are cracked, discoloured or brittle (more than 25-30 years exposed to exterior). Patching becomes uneconomical and you're just prolonging the life of a worn-out system.
Do you work with aluminium shutters?
For the front line coast, we always recommend injected aluminium for its salt resistance. For interior areas, reinforced PVC is the most economical equivalent option.
