Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out leak repairs in Sant Cugat del Vallès. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Interior matt and satin emulsion paint, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, popcorn texture on old ceilings if the client wishes to keep it, single-coat paint for exteriors and facades, and elastic coatings for walls with structural cracks. We work with professional brands like Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer and Titan depending on the surface type.

How we work

Select the service you need for more details and to request a quote. If you manage a holiday rental property in Torrevieja, La Mata or Punta Prima, you know that window of opportunity well. The last summer client leaves, the first of the low season arrives. In between, you have six or seven actual days to repaint marked walls, touch up skirting boards, re-seal yellowed bathroom sealant and make the kitchen presentable for the next photo. We work in that format: small teams that come in, do what's necessary, and leave the same day or the next. The kitchens in typical 80s apartments have small, dark tiles that age poorly. Replacing all the tiles is a major renovation. An alternative that is working well is painting the tiles with specific tile enamels after sanding and priming. It holds up perfectly for 5-7 years with normal use and costs a tenth of replacing the tiles.

When to call for leak repairs in Sant Cugat del Vallès

Dampness treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp in ground floors and infiltration through flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, injection barriers against rising damp, and breathable coatings that allow the wall to breathe without the paint peeling off. Complete tiling of a 6 m² bathroom with mid-range materials, between €1,800 including labour. Rising damp treatment on a 4-metre wall, between €600 and €1,000. Plasterboard suspended ceiling in a 12 m² room with LED spotlight installation, between €700 and €1,200. Saltpetre, especially on the seafront, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render are salts rising with moisture. Painting over it without treating the source is a waste of time and money; the new paint will flake off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to scrape off, neutralise the salts with specific chemicals, and only then apply the paint system.

Materials and brands

Catalytic is gentler: special walls coated with a material that oxidises grease at normal cooking temperatures. It doesn't require a special cycle, but the walls eventually saturate and stop absorbing grease. Replacing catalytic panels costs less than replacing the oven and restores the original self-cleaning function. Coverage on replaced parts and labour. Official manufacturer warranty on original parts. Second, lost thermostat. The thermostat is the sensor that measures the internal temperature and compares it to the programmed temperature. When it fails, the oven may never reach the programmed temperature or may overheat and burn food. Diagnosis is done with a kitchen thermometer inserted into the oven. If the oven's reading doesn't match the actual thermometer reading, the thermostat is the cause.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint a whole home?
An 80-100 m² home with a 2-person crew takes 3-4 days to paint with two coats. If walls need repairing, popcorn ceilings smoothed, or dampness treated beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor with our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies with permits for working at height.
Do you treat rising damp?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over dampness without treating the cause never works; it always reappears.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, for bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do them completely: demolition, plumbing, electricity, tiling, sanitaryware, and painting. For larger renovations, we refer you to a specialised construction partner.
Do you cover and protect the house before painting?
Of course. We cover floors with hardboard or thick plastic, protect sockets and skirting boards with tape, and move light furniture. We move heavy items to the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and without obligation. A prior visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. Detailed quote by item within 24-48 hours.
