Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We apply silicone and seals in Barcelona. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and begin. We evaluate the condition of the seals and if there's any underlying moisture requiring other intervention first.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your online quote — we will respond within 10 minutes during business hours. First, the old silicone must be completely removed. New silicone cannot be applied over old, as it won't adhere and will peel off in weeks. Removal is done with a special cutter, scraper, and, in difficult cases, with a specific softening chemical that dissolves old silicone without damaging the tile. Silicone application is done with a gun and continuous, uninterrupted movement. Stopping and restarting creates visible irregularities. Immediately after application, it is smoothed with a silicone spatula or a finger dipped in soapy water to achieve the characteristic uniform concave finish. Masking tape is removed before the silicone begins to cure, within the first 5 minutes.

When to call for silicone and seals in Barcelona

Silicone seals in wet areas such as showers, bathtubs, and kitchen countertops have a real lifespan of 4 to 7 years at best. After that, the first signs appear. Colour change to yellow or grey, small cracks in the silicone bead, separation between the silicone and the wall or sanitary fixture. Also, black mould spots may appear that cannot be removed with normal cleaning, or water may seep back when someone showers. We identify the real cause (moisture, settlement, worn fittings) before taking action. This is a very specific pattern for the area. Interior solid wood doors, especially those in blocks from the 80s-90s, swell and contract with seasonal humidity changes. In summer, when there is high humidity and high temperature, the wood absorbs water from the air and expands. The door stops closing properly, rubs against the top frame or the side, and forcing it closed only worsens the hinge.

Materials and brands

For more modern windows with tilt-and-turn profiles and thermal break, the fittings are of better quality but also require maintenance. Lubricating hinges and adjusting closing points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents air from entering in winter or them becoming too stiff to open. We resolve those everyday breakdowns that accumulate: a dripping tap, a loose plug socket, a blind that won't go up. We arrive prepared with tools and common materials to resolve most issues in a single visit. We assemble wardrobes, shelves, beds, desks and kitchen furniture following manufacturer instructions. We level, anchor to the wall when necessary, and remove packaging upon completion.

Indicative pricing

The price for silicone and seals in Barcelona typically ranges between 28 and 216 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. If it becomes misaligned again within 30 days due to the same cause, we return at no extra cost. If any of the work performed fails within the first month, we return at no cost to inspect and correct it.

Frequently asked questions

Can a door be adjusted without trimming wood?
If the hinges are modern adjustable ones, yes. If they are old, non-adjustable ones, we need to reduce 1-2 mm or replace them with adjustable models.
How long does it take to repair a Venetian blind?
Cleaning and lubricating guides: 30-45 min per blind. Tape replacement: an extra 30-45 min if the box is normally accessible.
Why is air coming in through the closed window?
Misaligned latches or degraded seals. We adjust plates and replace seals if necessary. This improves insulation and reduces energy bills.
Do you work with modern tilt-and-turn windows?
Yes, we adjust the tilt-and-turn system, lubricate fittings, and replace handles or parts if damaged. We recommend maintenance every 2-3 years.
Can a door that swells in summer be permanently fixed?
Only by replacing it with an MDF or multi-layered door that doesn't swell. Solid wood doors will always have this seasonal cycle even if varnished.
