What to do when...

Small fixes, big issues, and everything in between.

See all answers

Second homes often collect small problems: a loose handle, broken light, dripping tap, damaged wall, stiff lock, tired terrace, or furniture that needs fixing. None of it feels big, until you arrive and spend your first days arranging repairs.

Honest steps to try yourself

Make one clear list instead of sending separate messages. Group repairs by room: kitchen, bathroom, terrace, bedrooms, exterior.
Add photos or short videos of each issue. This makes it much easier to estimate what is needed.
Decide what must be fixed before arrival and what can wait. Safety, water, electricity and access come first.
Do not hire five different people for five small jobs if you are not there. Coordinating timing, keys and follow-up becomes the real work.
Plan repairs before the final cleaning. Otherwise dust, drilling or paint touch-ups may undo the clean house feeling.

The honest shortcut: one organised repair visit before you arrive can save the first two days of your stay.

Send us your repair list and we coordinate the practical work before you arrive. We can check the property, arrange trusted local tradespeople and make sure small problems do not become your holiday project.

Arrange small repairs

Electrical problems can be simple, but they should never be guessed. If lights, sockets or switches suddenly stop working, the cause can be a tripped breaker, moisture, overload, old wiring or a faulty fitting.

Honest steps to try yourself

Check the fuse box first. If a breaker has tripped, switch it fully off and back on once.
Unplug recent appliances. A faulty appliance, outdoor light or pool/garden device can trip part of the system.
Check whether the problem is in one room or the whole house. This helps narrow down the circuit.
Do not keep resetting the breaker if it trips again. Repeated tripping means there is a real fault.
Avoid DIY electrical repairs, especially in older homes. Loose wires, moisture and overloaded circuits are not worth the risk.

Honestly: if electricity fails more than once, it is not “just the fuse”. Something is causing it, and that should be checked properly.

We help diagnose the issue and coordinate a trusted local electrician if needed. From sockets and switches to lighting, tripping breakers or outdoor electrical problems, we make sure it is handled safely.

Have us handle it

Damp spots and cracks are common in Costa Brava homes, especially older properties, second homes and houses near the coast. The difficult part is knowing whether it is cosmetic, humidity, a leak, roof damage or a structural issue.

Honest steps to try yourself

Take photos and mark the size of the spot or crack. This helps you see whether it is growing over days or weeks.
Check what is on the other side of the wall. A bathroom, kitchen, terrace, roof edge or exterior wall gives clues about the cause.
Smell the area. A musty smell often points to trapped moisture, not just surface staining.
Do not paint over it immediately. Paint hides the symptom, but if moisture is still coming through, the stain will return.
Call someone if the area grows, feels wet or appears after rain. That means the source needs to be found before the surface is repaired.

Be honest: damp is rarely solved by painting. First find where the water or humidity comes from, then repair the wall.

We inspect the damp spot or crack and help identify the likely cause. If needed, we arrange the right tradesperson for leak detection, roof repair, plastering, painting or structural advice.

Have us handle it

Doors, locks and windows often start giving problems after heat, humidity, wind or a long period without use. Sometimes it is a simple adjustment. Sometimes it is a security issue, especially if the property is empty for part of the year.

Honest steps to try yourself

Check if the problem is the frame, the lock or the handle. A door that rubs is different from a lock that no longer turns.
Do not force the key. If the cylinder is stiff, forcing it can snap the key or damage the lock completely.
Look for swelling, movement or loose hinges. Wooden doors and older frames can shift in Mediterranean weather.
Clean the track if it is a sliding door or window. Sand, dust and small stones often block smooth movement.
If it affects security, fix it before you leave the property. A door or window that does not close properly is not just annoying; it leaves the home vulnerable.

The practical truth: if you have to lift, push or slam a door every time, it is already asking for repair. Waiting usually makes the alignment worse.

We check the door, lock or window and arrange the right solution. From small adjustments to replacement locks or repairs by a trusted local specialist, we make sure your home closes safely again.

Have us handle it

A small leak is easy to ignore, but in a Costa Brava home it can quickly become expensive. Water can run behind tiles, damage cabinets, create damp smells, or affect the property below you if you are in an apartment.

Honest steps to try yourself

Turn off the local water supply first. Most taps, toilets and sinks have a small shut-off valve nearby. If not, use the main water valve.
Check where the water is actually coming from. A dripping tap, leaking pipe connection, running toilet or wet shower seal all need different fixes.
Dry the area completely and watch it for 10 minutes. This helps you see whether the leak is active or just leftover water from use.
Do not keep using the shower if water appears outside the tray or behind the wall. That usually means the seal, grout or drain needs attention.
If the leak continues after closing the valve, call someone. At that point it is not a small inconvenience anymore.

Be honest: a €40 part can become a €1,000 repair if the water keeps running behind tiles or furniture. Leaks are not the best place to “wait and see”.

Nico checks the leak, finds the source and arranges the right repair. Whether it is a tap, toilet, shower seal, pipe connection or hidden issue, we make sure the problem is handled properly.
