Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We apply silicone and sealants in El Putxet i el Farró. We visit the property, assess the job, provide a clear price, and begin. Silicone seals in wet areas like 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 ware. Black mould spots that can't be removed with normal cleaning may also appear, or water that filters back when someone showers.

How we work

First, the old silicone must be completely removed. New silicone cannot be applied over old; it will not adhere and will peel off in weeks. Removal is done with a special cutter, scraper, and, in difficult cases, with a specific chemical softening product that dissolves old silicone without damaging the tile. Silicone application is done with a gun and continuous movement without stopping. Stopping and restarting creates visible irregularities. Immediately after applying, 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 El Putxet i el Farró

We assess the condition of the seals and if there is underlying dampness that requires other intervention beforehand. This is a common fault in blocks in Torrevieja and surrounding areas. PVC roller blinds with pull tapes accumulate dust and debris in the side guides. The tape wears out over the years and sometimes breaks in mid-summer, leaving the blind halfway down. If the tape is intact, the usual procedure is to clean the guides and lubricate the system with a specific product (not common oil, which attracts more dust). We identify the real cause (damp, settlement, worn hardware) before acting.

Materials and Brands

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

Indicative pricing

The price for silicone and seals in El Putxet i el Farró usually ranges between 28 and 216 euros. 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 due to the same cause, we will return at no extra cost. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in under 10 minutes during working hours.

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, it's necessary to shave 1-2 mm or replace them with adjustable models.
How long does it take to repair a roller blind?
Cleaning and lubricating guides: 30-45 min per blind. Strap replacement: an extra 30-45 min if the box is normally accessible.
Why does air enter through a closed window?
Misaligned seals or degraded gaskets. We adjust plates and replace gaskets 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 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 a DM or multi-layered door that doesn't move. A solid wood door will always have that seasonal cycle even if varnished.
