Our service for connecting washing machines and dishwashers follows a clear, efficient procedure to ensure optimal performance and safety. First, upon arrival (typically within 45 minutes for urgent calls), our technician conducts an initial assessment of the installation site, checking existing water inlets, drainage points, and electrical outlets. This takes approximately 10-15 minutes. Second, we prepare the connections, which may involve installing new stopcocks, adjusting pipe lengths, or securing drainage hoses. This preparatory stage usually lasts 20-40 minutes, depending on the complexity. Third, the appliance is carefully positioned and connected to the water supply, drainage, and power. We use appropriate seals and clamps to prevent leaks, a process taking about 30-60 minutes per appliance. Finally, we perform a thorough test run, checking for leaks, proper filling, and effective drainage. We also provide a brief explanation of the appliance's basic functions and answer any questions. This final step typically concludes within 15-25 minutes, ensuring everything is working perfectly before we leave.

While some might attempt DIY appliance installation, professional plumbing is often essential for safety and compliance. You should call us if:

• You've purchased a new washing machine or dishwasher and require its initial setup, especially if it's a built-in model.

• You're replacing an old appliance and the existing connections appear corroded, damaged, or are incompatible with the new unit.

• You're renovating your kitchen or utility room in areas like El Port or La Riera and need new water supply and drainage points installed for future appliances.

• You notice any leaks, unusual noises, or poor drainage after a recent appliance installation, indicating a potential connection fault.

• You're unsure about local regulations for water and wastewater connections, particularly in older properties where systems might need modernising.

For reliable and leak-free appliance connections, using high-quality materials is non-negotiable. We primarily utilise durable braided stainless steel hoses for water supply, known for their resistance to bursting and corrosion, far superior to standard rubber options. For drainage, we employ robust PVC or polypropylene pipes and fittings that withstand hot water and detergents. Essential components like stopcocks are sourced from reputable manufacturers such as Genebre or Roca, ensuring precise flow control and longevity. Our seals and gaskets are always made from high-grade EPDM rubber, providing an excellent watertight barrier. While we connect all major appliance brands, including Bosch, Siemens, Balay, and LG, our focus remains on the integrity of the plumbing infrastructure itself, using only certified components to guarantee a secure and lasting installation.

The cost for connecting a washing machine or dishwasher in Arenys de Mar typically ranges from €43 to €384, with a median around €214. This range reflects the varying complexity of installations. A straightforward replacement using existing, compatible connections will be at the lower end. However, if new water lines or drainage points need to be installed, or if significant modifications to existing plumbing are required, the price will increase. Factors like the type of wall (e.g., plasterboard versus solid masonry), accessibility, and whether a dedicated electrical outlet needs to be fitted also influence the final cost. Our quotes are always transparent, detailing labour, materials, and any necessary modifications, ensuring you understand the investment before work begins. There are no hidden fees.
