Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do silicone and sealants in El Clot. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and get started. We evaluate the condition of the seals and check for underlying dampness that might require other work first.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in under 10 minutes during business hours. Silicone is applied with a gun in a continuous, unbroken motion. Stopping and restarting creates visible irregularities. Immediately after application, it is smoothed with a silicone spatula or a finger dipped in soapy water to create the characteristic even, concave finish. The masking tape is removed before the silicone starts to cure, within the first 5 minutes. First, all old silicone must be completely removed. New silicone cannot be applied over old silicone; it won't bond and will peel off within weeks. Removal is done with a special cutter, scraper, and, in difficult cases, a specific chemical softener that dissolves the old silicone without damaging the tile.

When to call for silicone and sealant in El Clot

Silicone seals in damp areas like showers, bathtubs, and kitchen countertops have a real lifespan of 4 to 7 years at best. After that, the first signs appear. Discoloration towards yellow or grey, small cracks in the silicone bead, separation between the silicone and the wall or sanitaryware. Black mould stains that cannot be removed by normal cleaning also appear, or water leaks through when someone showers. Traditional knob hinges, seen in old brickwork doors, are not adjustable. If the door scrapes, you need to shave off wood with a plane or replace the hinges with modern adjustable models. Shaving wood is the usual solution when the problem is seasonal. We remove 1-2 mm from the area that scrapes, seal the cut, and the door closes again. In winter, when humidity drops and the dry westerly wind blows, wood contracts. The door closes well, but there’s visible looseness between the door and the frame, allowing air and noise to pass through. This is the natural cycle of wood and can only be avoided by two things: either replacing it with an MDF or multi-laminated door that doesn't move, or learning to live with it and adjusting the hinges occasionally.

Materials and brands

For more modern windows with tilt-and-turn profiles and thermal breaks, the hardware is of better quality but also requires maintenance. Lubricating the hinges and adjusting the locking points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents drafts in winter or makes them too hard to open. We assemble wardrobes, shelves, beds, desks, and kitchen furniture following the manufacturer's instructions. We level them, anchor them to the wall when necessary, and remove packaging upon completion. We solve those everyday repairs that pile up: a dripping tap, a loose socket, a blind that won't go up. We arrive prepared with tools and common materials to fix most issues in a single visit.

Indicative pricing

The price for silicone and sealant in El Clot typically ranges between €28 and €216. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. If it becomes misaligned again within 30 days for the same reason, we'll return at no extra cost. When describing the job on the platform, you'll receive a fixed price or a narrow range for the task. There are no call-out charges within Almoradí or extra fees for quotes, and you only confirm if you are happy with the price.

Frequently asked questions

Can a door be adjusted without shaving wood?
If the hinges are modern adjustable ones, yes. If they are old, non-adjustable ones, you need to shave off 1-2 mm or replace them with adjustable models.
How long does it take to fix a blind?
Guide cleaning and lubrication: 30-45 min per blind. Tape replacement: 30-45 min extra if the drawer is easily accessible.
Why does air come in through a closed window?
Misaligned closures or degraded seals. We adjust the plates and replace seals if necessary. Improves insulation and reduces bills.
Do you work with modern tilt-and-turn windows?
Yes, we adjust the tilt-and-turn system, lubricate the hardware, 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 a MDF or multi-laminated door that doesn't warp. A solid wood door will always have this seasonal cycle, even if varnished.
