How we work

If you're tired of carrying water bottles or Terrassa's water leaving white marks on your glasses, contact us. We'll visit you for free, test your water, and give you a fixed quote. No surprises, no monthly fees. We are reverse osmosis installers in Barcelona and Vallès with years of experience dealing with hard water like Terrassa's. In reality, limescale is a persistent problem in Vallès Occidental: it stiffens handles, causes splashes, and damages cartridges. That's why, whenever we work, we include a descaling phase, check the cartridge's condition, and suggest anti-limescale solutions that extend your tap's lifespan. Our service is straightforward and predictable: a fixed quote before we start, a one-year written guarantee on labour, and the use of original parts from top manufacturers like Grohe, Roca, Teka, Hansgrohe, Tres, and Ramón Soler. If your tap is dripping, making noise, supplying irregular water, or has lost its correct temperature mix, a specialised technician will handle everything. On-site diagnosis, repair, and fine-tuning. Professional tap repair in Terrassa requires speed, accurate diagnosis, and in-stock parts to resolve leaks, drips, pressure loss, and blockages in the kitchen, bathroom, and garden without surprises. Our Terrassa team, backed by ALTORIA SERVICOMPLEX, serves all city districts — Centre, Ca n’Anglada, Can Palet, Sant Pere, Vallparadís, Les Fonts, Can Roca, Segle XX, Can Aurell, and more — with an average arrival time under 60 minutes and extended coverage to Sabadell, Rubí, Sant Cugat del Vallès, Granollers, Martorell, and Esparreguera. We work with single-lever, two-handle, thermostatic, and recessed taps, as well as shower columns and mixers, offering certified repair of ceramic cartridges, rubber seals, handles, aerators, and flexible hoses.

When to call for tap replacement in Centre (Terrassa)

> When we install LATT units, we rarely need to return before the annual maintenance. With generic units, we see more calls for unstable flow and TDS. The worst part is that Terrassa's water comes from 5 different sources. The hardness changes depending on your street and the time of year. It's at its worst in January and February. The most practical solution is a direct flow reverse osmosis unit. It reduces TDS from over 400 ppm to less than 40 ppm. Clean water for drinking and cooking, and you can forget about water bottles. Terrassa has some of the hardest water in Catalonia. According to Taigua (the municipal company), the hardness can reach 490 mg/L of CaCO₃. Additionally, the supply comes from 5 different sources, so the taste and limescale vary depending on the neighbourhood. It's worst in winter (January-March).

Materials and brands

A LATT direct flow system with installation included costs between €490 and €690 depending on the model. It's a fixed price: unit, tap, materials, and labour. The unit is yours, with no fees or contracts.

Indicative pricing

The price for tap replacement in Centre (Terrassa) typically ranges from €55 to €714. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. If the tap drips from the spout even when closed, the cartridge or seats are compromised. If it drips from the base, it's usually the body seal or the tightening of the ring. For temperature losses in showers with an electric water heater, we check the heater's actual output, the element's condition, and the tap's correct mixing, as sometimes the problem isn't with the tap but the heat source. Before any work, we explain our findings, repair options (cleaning and adjustment, cartridge replacement, seal changes, flexible hose replacement), and estimated timeframe, with a fixed price that includes labour, travel within Terrassa, and parts. We document the process with photos for your peace of mind and for the warranty. This methodical approach, learned from real cases in neighbourhoods like La Maurina or Can Palet, avoids surprises and delivers lasting results. Understanding the type of tap you have at home in Terrassa helps reduce repair times and adjust the final cost. The single-lever tap is the most common: its ceramic cartridge controls flow and temperature. When it fails, drips from the spout, a stiff handle, irregular stream, or poor mixing (water too cold or too hot even with slight handle movement) occur. In kitchens in Can Palet or Ca n’Aurell, the classic symptom is the persistent "little stream" at night. This is usually resolved by replacing the cartridge, changing O-rings, and cleaning the aerator.

Frequently asked questions

### Why is a tap dripping?
A dripping tap is mainly caused by **wear of the ceramic cartridge** or deterioration of **seals** and seats, made worse by the **limescale** in the water. Limescale builds up in the cartridge and aerator, preventing the ceramic surfaces from sealing properly and increasing the friction of the handle. In two-handle taps, the rubber seals and spindles dry out and lose their seal. Dripping from the base can also occur if the body seal is damaged or if the tightening ring is loose.
### When is it best to call a plumber?
It's advisable to call a plumber when the dripping persists despite cleaning the aerator, if the handle is stiff or “grates”, if you notice temperature variations in a **thermostatic shower**, or when water appears at the base of the tap or under the sink. Also, if the **stopcock** doesn't close, if there are **water hammer** noises, or if the tap is **recessed**, as improper handling can damage finishes. In Terrassa, limescale complicates DIY repairs: trying to force things can break parts.
### How much does it cost to repair a dripping tap?
The cost depends on the type of tap and the fault. Simple repairs due to seals or aerators are low-cost. **Cartridge replacement** in single-lever taps is moderately priced, while for **thermostatic** or **recessed** taps, the cost is higher due to the price of the spare part and adjustment time. Changes of **flexible hoses**, **handles**, or **seals** are quoted separately. In Terrassa, travel is included and prices are confirmed with a **fixed quote** before we start.
