Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We apply silicone and sealants in La Torrassa. We visit the property, inspect the work, 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 also appear that cannot be removed with normal cleaning, or water that leaks back when someone showers.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours. Before starting any work, you'll receive a written quote detailing labour and materials. Work will only commence if you accept the quote, and the agreed price will not change unless extra tasks arise which you approve. All professionals in our network undergo a verification process including identity, experience, and references. We prioritise handymen with a demonstrable track record in home repairs, assembly, and minor maintenance work.

When to call for silicone and sealants in La Torrassa

We assess the condition of the seals and whether there is underlying damp that requires another intervention beforehand. This is a common fault in blocks in Torrevieja and surrounding areas. PVC roller blinds with pull cords accumulate dust and debris in the side guides. The cord wears down over the years and sometimes breaks in mid-summer, leaving the blind half-down. If the cord 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). In winter, when humidity drops and the dry westerly wind blows, wood contracts. The door closes well but there is visible play between the door and 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-layered door that doesn't have this movement, or learning to live with it and adjusting the hinges as needed.

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 locking points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents air entry in winter or them becoming too difficult to open. We assemble wardrobes, shelving units, beds, desks, and kitchen furniture following manufacturer instructions. We level, anchor to the wall when necessary, and remove packaging upon completion. We resolve those everyday household faults that accumulate: a dripping tap, a loose plug socket, a roller blind that won't go up. We arrive prepared with common tools and materials to resolve most issues in a single visit.

Frequently asked questions

Can a door be adjusted without planing down wood?
If the hinges are modern adjustable ones, yes. If they are old non-adjustable ones, you need to plane down 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. Changing the tape: an extra 30-45 min if the box is normally accessible.
Why does air enter through the 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 an MDF or multi-layered door that doesn't move. A solid wood door will always have that seasonal cycle even if varnished.
