When something breaks it cannot always wait. We deal with the small, urgent faults of everyday life: a water heater that will not heat, an air-conditioning unit that drips, a stuck awning, a broken blind, a leak under the sink or a socket that has stopped working. Quick jobs, sorted by genuine professionals.
We are honest about what this is: small-scale repair work, not a renovation. The upside is that we arrive quickly, leave the problem solved and get your home back to normal without you having to commission a whole project.
It is also the best way to get to know us. Many owners call first about a small fault and, once they see how we work, later trust us with the bathroom, the kitchen or a full renovation. An urgent repair is the gateway to a relationship built on trust.

The full scope of Urgent Repairs works
Every job we take on within this service, with the detail of how we carry it out. The price is always fixed after the survey.
Emergencies, making safe and handling it for you
Same-day callout
- What we do
- Priority attention for the fault that cannot wait until tomorrow.
- How we do it
- We prioritise by risk, not by who rang first: running water, a tripped consumer unit or a property that will not lock come first. We give you a realistic window and tell you if it moves.
Making safe
- What we do
- A first intervention so the fault stops causing damage while the repair is decided.
- How we do it
- We close the mains or just the affected section, isolate the circuit at the board, or remove anything at risk of falling. It is what separates a repair from a claim on your seguro del hogar.
Isolating without shutting the house down
- What we do
- Keeping the rest of the home usable while a part is on order.
- How we do it
- We shut off only the affected bathroom or circuit rather than leaving the whole property without water or power. If we have to order a part, you carry on living normally.
Temporary fix or permanent one?
- What we do
- We tell you plainly whether what we have done will hold or is a stopgap until the real repair.
- How we do it
- A clamp on old pipework lasts weeks, not years, and we say so. We would rather you decided with the facts than found out the day it fails again.
Damage after a storm or gota fría
- What we do
- Water ingress, torn awnings, flooded terraces and power cuts after torrential rain.
- How we do it
- We clear gullies and downpipes, dry out and find where the water is actually getting in — the leak is almost never where the stain appears. We photograph everything in case there is an insurance claim.
Non-resident owners
- What we do
- Dealing with a fault in an empty or rented property while you are out of Spain.
- How we do it
- We coordinate by phone, WhatsApp or email, get access with a keyholder or your agent, and send photos before and after with a written quote. You do not need to get on a plane.
Hot water, leaks and minor plumbing
Electric tank with no hot water
- What we do
- A tank that will not heat, takes too long, or trips the RCD.
- How we do it
- We check the element, the thermostat and the sacrificial anode. The hard water here furs up elements early; if the cylinder itself is already weeping, a new element only buys a few months.
Gas water heater that will not light
- What we do
- A heater that cuts out, will not start or gives temperature in bursts.
- How we do it
- We check the ignition, the sensor and the flue, and make sure the ventilation is not blocked. If the fault involves combustion we do not leave it running under any circumstances.
Leak under the sink or basin
- What we do
- A localised drip at the trap, flexi hose or isolating valve.
- How we do it
- We replace the flexi hoses and isolating valves outright, not just the seal that is dripping: they are cheap parts that fail together, and it saves a second callout two months later.
Dripping cistern or tap
- What we do
- A continuous loss of water that eventually shows on the meter.
- How we do it
- We replace the mechanism or the cartridge. If the tap is furred up we warn you the repair will not last long and give you a price to replace it on the same visit.
Blocked sink or toilet
- What we do
- A waste that drains slowly or not at all.
- How we do it
- We strip and clean the trap and rod the branch. If the camera shows the blockage is in the communal stack, it is the comunidad de propietarios’ responsibility and we document it with photos for the administrator.
Air-conditioning, awnings and blinds
Air-conditioning dripping water
- What we do
- A split unit leaking water from the indoor head.
- How we do it
- It is nearly always the condensate drain blocked or running without fall. We clean the pipe and tray and correct the gradient: cleaning the filters and ignoring the drain just means it drips again a week later.
Split unit not cooling
- What we do
- A unit that runs but gives no cold air.
- How we do it
- We check filters, coil and gas pressure. If it has lost charge we find the leak before regassing, because regassing without repairing is paying for gas twice.
Jammed or dropped awning
- What we do
- An awning that will not retract, has gone out of line, or has had an arm broken by the wind.
- How we do it
- We check arms, cassette and motor and reset the limit switches. Salt air seizes the arm: we free and grease it rather than forcing the motor until it burns out.
Broken blind or one that will not raise
- What we do
- A snapped strap, a dead motor or broken slats.
- How we do it
- We replace the strap and winder or swap slats through the access hatch, without touching the window opening. If the motor has burnt out we talk through a new motor versus going back to manual.
Window or patio door that will not close
- What we do
- A leaf that catches, will not seat, or lets in draughts and noise.
- How we do it
- We replace rollers, brushes and seals and reset the ironmongery. On the seafront the salt eats the rollers: we fit stainless where the originals were plain steel.
Electrics, locks and unfinished details
RCD that keeps tripping
- What we do
- Power cutting out repeatedly with no obvious cause.
- How we do it
- We isolate circuit by circuit until we find the fault to earth — the water heater, the washing machine and outdoor sockets are the usual suspects — rather than fitting a new RCD and hoping.
Socket, switch or light point
- What we do
- A dead socket, a switch that arcs or a light fitting that will not come on.
- How we do it
- We work with the circuit dead and replace the accessory. If we find joints without a junction box or aluminium cable we flag it: that is usually what sits behind a socket that runs hot.
Door dropped or not closing
- What we do
- A door catching on the floor, not seating, or whose latch will not engage.
- How we do it
- We adjust the hinges and re-seat the striker. Heat and humidity make a timber leaf move; often it is enough to ease the edge and reset the plate.
Silicone, grout and loose tiles
- What we do
- Worn or mouldy finishing details in the bathroom and kitchen.
- How we do it
- We strip out all the old silicone rather than sealing over the top, because the mould lives underneath. We reseal with neutral anti-fungal silicone and re-grout loose tiles in a matching tone.
Locks and cylinders
- What we do
- A cylinder change, a stiff lock or a key snapped in the barrel.
- How we do it
- If the lock itself is sound we replace only the cylinder, leaving the door untouched, and hand over new sets of keys. It is the usual job between tenants or after keys go missing.
Loose ends from previous work
- What we do
- Details left half-finished by an earlier renovation.
- How we do it
- We fit the missing architrave, the socket faceplate or the loose skirting and close the job out. We finish it without passing judgement on whoever was there before.

Urgent Repairs: frequently asked questions in Alicante
How much does an urgent repair cost in Alicante?
It depends on the type of fault, the part needed and the time involved. A dripping tap is not the same as a blind motor. That is why we assess on site and give you a fixed-price quote before starting. Book a visit and we will attend with no obligation.
What kind of jobs do you do?
We focus on small, quick faults: water heaters and boilers, air-conditioning, awnings, blinds, leaks, taps, sockets and minor breakages. We are upfront: this is not a renovation, it is a one-off job done properly. If the problem is bigger, we tell you and propose the right solution.
How soon can you come?
We prioritise urgent faults and aim for the earliest visit possible depending on our schedule and your area within Alicante province. Many simple faults we solve on the same visit; if a specific part is needed we order it and return promptly to finish the job.
Are the repairs guaranteed?
Yes. Even for a small job, we stand behind the work with a written guarantee. We check everything is working before we leave and, if anything related to our repair were to fail, we return to look at it again at no extra cost to you.
Can a repair turn into a renovation?
Often. Many customers meet us through a small fault and later ask us to do the bathroom, the kitchen or the whole home. We never pressure you: we fix the urgent issue and, if you are interested, prepare a quote for the larger project whenever you are ready.
