Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out fault repairs in El Prat de Llobregat. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price and start. This means we adapt our service. For a Spanish client in the centre who needs to repair the water heater before winter, we speak Spanish, provide quotes by phone or WhatsApp. We get straight to the point. For a French owner in El Edén who arrives in July and finds the air conditioning isn't cooling, we coordinate in French when the technician allows, and quote with photos. We send a digital invoice upon their return.

How we work

Many of these houses have installations from the 70s or earlier that require complete updating. We carry out a free preliminary diagnosis and a detailed quote broken down by items. Call us, write to us on WhatsApp or request your quote online — we respond in less than 10 minutes during working hours. The sand filter is the second most frequent point of failure. The filter sand compacts and clogs over time and stops filtering correctly. The typical sign is increasing operating pressure (when it exceeds 1.5 bar, it's time for backwashing or replacement). Sand replacement is done every 5-7 years with normal use. It's a full-day operation. Draining the filter, removing old sand (usually about 80-120 kg for a standard domestic filter) and vacuuming the collector bed. Then comes filling with new sand of suitable grain size, adjusting the multiport valve, pressure testing and commissioning.

When to call for fault repair in El Prat de Llobregat

For preventive maintenance in apartments of non-resident owners, we schedule in April and May before the high season. Without the saturation of June. The difference between scheduling in advance or waiting for an emergency is real; in August, technicians in the area are at their limit. The circulation pump is the component with the most faults due to intensive use. Standard 0.75 horsepower pumps are sized for 4-6 hours of daily operation and last between 5 and 8 years of normal service. Typical faults include worn bearings (the pump makes excessive noise on starting and running) and a faulty starting capacitor (the pump hums but doesn't start). We also see internal impeller damage from aspirated gravel (reduced flow despite nominal pressure) and a burnt motor due to thermal overload (the pump doesn't work at all). In each case, it's necessary to evaluate whether repairing or replacing is more cost-effective.

Materials and brands

New pump or purification system with official manufacturer's warranty of 2-3 years. Plus 30 days on installation. If the purification system is more than 15 years old, various components are aged simultaneously, and isolated repairs become uneconomical. In such cases, we recommend a complete replacement of the unit: new filter, pump, and multiport valve, installed in the existing pump house. A new quality unit with a high-efficiency pump consumes up to 40% less electricity than older pumps, which for a pool with full annual use translates into significant economic savings over 5-10 years. Additionally, simultaneous replacement of all components gives you the official manufacturer's warranty for the entire assembly and resets the durability clock.
