The list of small repairs: how it works in Valencia
The idea is simple. You make a list of everything broken or outstanding in the flat, send it to us on WhatsApp with photos, and we tell you how many hours we estimate and the fixed total price. One handyman comes with a loaded van (roller shutter straps, flexi hoses, silicone, wall plugs, bulbs, hinges) and does it all in one go, in whatever order causes least disruption.
A typical list in a flat in Ruzafa or El Carmen: replace the strap on the bedroom persiana (roller shutter), reseal the shower screen, adjust the bathroom door that rubs, hang a mirror and a curtain pole, replace the flexi hose on the kitchen tap and fit two new sockets without touching the wiring. That is 3-4 hours, between 120 and 150 €, the price of a half day.
In the 1960s to 80s blocks of Patraix, Benicalap, Rascanya or Jesús the list usually adds the leaking Roca cistern, the dropped kitchen door and the handle on the built-in wardrobe. In rental flats in Benimaclet and Algirós, on tenant changeover: silicone, bulbs, shutters, handles and small chips in the plaster before the photo for the listing.
- First hour: 35-45 €
- Following hours: 28-35 €/hour
- Half day (4 h): 120-150 €
- Full day (8 h): 220-280 €
- Monthly second-home check: 45-80 €/month
How we work
List and photos on WhatsApp, estimate of hours and fixed price. If you accept it, there is no call-out fee. If you would rather we look first and then do nothing, the visit in Valencia city is 25 €. If something that was not on the list turns up during the work, we tell you and you decide whether to add it; we never charge it as a surprise.
Hours Monday to Sunday, 8am to 9pm. We take payment on completion by cash, card, Bizum or bank transfer, with an invoice including IVA (VAT). Labour carries 6 months' written guarantee. We work in English, Spanish and Russian.
Handyman in Valencia: price and what moves it
We charge actual time, in half-hour blocks after the first hour. What makes the job longer is material that is not there: if we have to go and buy a specific tap or shutter winder, that time counts. That is why we ask for photos first: with them we come with everything needed and the list is done in one go.
Small materials (screws, wall plugs, silicone, standard shutter strap, flexi hoses) are charged at hardware shop prices, between 1 and 15 € per item, and appear on the invoice. Larger ones (a tap, a light fitting, a cistern mechanism) you buy or we bring at shop price. Examples with totals are on the handyman hourly rate page.
What we do and do not do on an hourly visit
We do: roller shutters, taps, cisterns, silicone, doors and hinges, drawers, hanging things, assembling small furniture, like-for-like sockets and switches, fly screens, bathroom accessories, small chips in plaster, receiving appliances and checking rental flats. The guide to what a handyman does has the full list.
We do not do: new electrical installations or certificates, gas, boilers, air conditioning with refrigerant or renovations. If a task on the list is bigger than it looks (a door slammed shut in a block with no concierge, a sink blocked all the way to the stack), it goes to the specialist team: our locksmith in Valencia or the drain unblocking in Valencia service, each with its own fixed price.
For a whole room to paint or a complete IKEA kitchen the hourly rate is not worth it either; we give you a fixed price for the job, which works out better.
Property maintenance for owners who are not in Valencia
Valencia has more and more flats whose owners live elsewhere: second homes in the Cabanyal or Poblats Marítims, inherited flats in La Saïdia or Camins al Grau, rental properties managed from another city. For them we do a monthly check at 45-80 € a month: air the place, run taps and flush cisterns so the traps do not dry out, raise and lower the shutters, check there is no damp or piled-up post, and send a report with photos on WhatsApp.
If something turns up during the check, we fix it on the same visit at the hourly rate, with your approval by message first. We collect the key from the agent, a neighbour or a key safe, and we also receive furniture and appliances when you cannot be there. The rest of the services in the city are on handyman in Valencia and the general description of the service on handyman by the hour.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a handyman cost in Valencia?
The first hour, 35-45 € including IVA; following hours, 28-35 € each, in half-hour blocks. A 4-hour half day, 120-150 €; a full day, 220-280 €. Small materials are extra at hardware shop prices. With the list and the photos on WhatsApp we give you a fixed total before we come.
How much can you get done in two hours?
In a Valencia flat, normally four or five small tasks: a roller shutter strap (40 minutes), a flexi hose or a dripping tap (20-30), resealing a shower screen (30), hanging two pictures and a curtain pole (20) and replacing a couple of sockets like for like (15). If you send photos beforehand, we come with all the material and no time is lost.
Can you come today?
Almost always. Between 8am and 9pm we arrive in 25-45 minutes in any neighbourhood of Valencia. For long lists, half a day or more, we prefer to book a slot the next day so we come with all the material. Locksmith and drain emergencies have their own service with a fixed price.
I live abroad and have a flat in Valencia that is shut. What does the monthly check include?
One visit a month at 45-80 € depending on size: air the place, run taps and flush cisterns, work the shutters, check for damp, ceilings and windows, collect the post and send you photos and a report on WhatsApp. If anything needs fixing, we propose it with a price and do it on that visit or the next, with your approval.
What happens if a task on the list turns out to be bigger?
We stop, explain it with a photo and give you a fixed price for that part. You can accept it or leave it for another day; the rest of the list carries on. We never charge extra hours without warning. If it is a locksmith, plumber or builder's job, the specialist on the team does it at their own rate with a 6-month guarantee.
