Handyman in Torrevieja: same-day home repairs

Locksmith in Torrevieja

Half the calls we get in Torrevieja are for a locksmith: owners arriving from Manchester or Oslo and the key the agency gave them does not work, seasonal tenants leaving without returning it, bombines (lock cylinders) seized after eight months shut up. We open without damage in 20-40 minutes for €60-95 in the daytime, change cylinders in the same visit and leave a set of keys wherever you tell us. See locksmith in Torrevieja.

Plumber in Torrevieja

Torrevieja's water leaves limescale on everything: dripping taps, cisterns that will not shut off, flexi hoses that burst when the stopcock is opened after the winter. We replace taps, cistern mechanisms, flexi hoses and traps without building work for €40-115, and check the plumbing in closed-up bungalows before the owner arrives. Gas and water heaters go to a licensed installer. More on plumber in Torrevieja.

Roller shutter repair in Torrevieja

The bungalows of the 1980s and 90s urbanisations (La Siesta, San Luis, Lago Jardín, El Chaparral) have strap persianas (roller shutters) that snap after years of disuse, and the apartments of Playa del Cura and Los Locos suffer salt in the guides. We replace straps for €35-65, refit dropped shutters, replace slats and axles, and motorise. See roller shutter repair in Torrevieja.

Handyman by the hour in Torrevieja

For anyone who comes out two weeks a year or lets their apartment, the handyman by the hour clears the whole list in one morning: bathroom silicone, handles, sockets, mounting the TV, assembling garden furniture, testing shutters and taps. First hour €35-48, following hours €28-38, and a monthly check of a closed-up home for €45-80. See handyman by the hour in Torrevieja.

Drain unblocking in Torrevieja

In July and August the comunidades of Torrevieja fill up all at once and the stacks in the ground floors of Playa del Cura, Aguas Nuevas and Punta Prima cannot cope; in winter the problem is a dried-out trap that smells. We unblock kitchen sinks, basins, showers and toilets with an electric spring machine and a camera for €70-130 at a fixed price. More on drain unblocking in Torrevieja.

Awnings in Torrevieja

Bungalow terraces in Los Balcones and Rocío del Mar, apartment balconies in La Mata and Torre del Moro: the awning is a must from May to October and the easterly wind punishes it. We fit the awning you buy, replace fabrics, swap rusted arms and motorise with a wind sensor. Folding-arm awning fitting €120-240. See awnings in Torrevieja.

Carpenter in Torrevieja

Bungalow doors swollen by winter damp that no longer close, sliding wardrobe doors with rusted rollers, 1990s interior doors with dropped hinges. We plane, adjust, replace hardware and hang new doors in existing frames for €40-160, with an appointment within 24 hours and measurements taken from a photo. See carpenter in Torrevieja.

Painters in Torrevieja

Repainting the apartment before the letting season or after a winter of damp on the north-facing walls is the typical painting job in Torrevieja. We paint walls and ceilings in white from €8/m², treat dried damp stains with anti-mould paint and paint railings and terraces. A 60 m² apartment in 2 days. See painters in Torrevieja.
