Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We apply silicone and sealants in Les Corts. We visit the property, assess the job, provide a clear price, and get started. Silicone seals in wet areas like showers, bathtubs, and kitchen countertops have an actual lifespan of 4 to 7 years at best. After this, 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. Black mould stains may also appear that cannot be removed with normal cleaning, or water that leaks backwards when someone showers.

How we work

Silicone is applied with a gun in a continuous, uninterrupted 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 achieve the characteristic uniform concave finish. Masking tape is removed before the silicone begins to cure, within the first 5 minutes. First, all old silicone must be completely removed. New silicone cannot be applied over old silicone as it will not adhere and will peel off within 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.

When to call for silicone and sealing in Les Corts

We assess the condition of the seals and if there is underlying moisture requiring another intervention first. This is a common fault in blocks in Torrevieja and the surrounding areas. PVC blinds with pull cords accumulate dust and debris in the side guides. The cord wears down over the years and sometimes breaks in the middle of summer, leaving the blind halfway up. If the cord is intact, it is usual to clean the guides and lubricate the system with a specific product (not common oil, which attracts more dust). Traditional knob hinges, those seen in older built-in doors, are not adjustable. If the door rubs, wood needs to be planed down or hinges replaced with modern adjustable models. Planing wood is the usual solution when the problem is seasonal. We remove 1-2 mm from the rubbing area, seal the cut, and the door closes again.

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 regulating the closing points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents air from entering in winter or them becoming too difficult to open. 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. We solve those everyday problems that accumulate: a dripping tap, a loose plug, a blind that won't go up. We arrive prepared with common tools and materials to resolve most issues in a single visit.

Indicative Pricing

The price for silicone and sealing in Les Corts typically ranges between 28 and 216 euros. The final figure 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. Each job is managed from the first call to the final check, with no surprises or hidden charges. The client receives a clear quote before any work begins, calmly decides, and only pays when everything has been checked. Our network comprises verified handymen from the area, accustomed to old homes in Callosa, renovated flats, and village houses with their peculiarities. If you have a to-do list on your fridge, we can resolve it in a single visit and get your home in order.

Frequently asked questions

Can a door be adjusted without shaving off wood?
If the hinges are modern adjustable ones, yes. If they are old non-adjustable ones, 1-2 mm needs to be shaved off or they need to be replaced with adjustable models.
How long does it take to repair a blind?
Cleaning and lubricating guides: 30-45 min per blind. Changing the tape: 30-45 min extra if the box is normally accessible.
Why is air coming through the closed window?
Misaligned seals or degraded gaskets. We regulate plates and replace gaskets if necessary. Improves insulation and reduces bills.
Do you work with modern tilt-and-turn windows?
Yes, we regulate the tilt-and-turn system, lubricate 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 DM or multi-laminated door that does not move. A solid wood door will always have that seasonal cycle even if it is varnished.
