Robel
Barcelona, Oct 2026
I needed to change my toilet and wanted someone who could speak English so I did not have to keep using Google to translate what I needed. Santiago was very easy to talk to and communicate with, very calm, trustworthy, and easy to schedule with. He changed the toilet, cleaned up, removed the debris and the old toilet, and everything works as I expect. He gave me a fair price, I am very happy with him, and I would recommend him.

I hired Dominik to check out a short circuit that happened, see if the electric connections were alright, and change the lights that were affected. He came with another person, they did the job, and he was very professional. When I asked questions, he responded very clearly and explained things well. It was a good experience, he fixed the problem, and the price felt a bit on the high end but he is a very skilled person.

Marc has always fulfilled on time, came very quickly to the places, and responded with seriousness on delivery and price. He did maintenance on some properties for me, an integral reform, and also installations of electricity and water, and when I need someone I keep him in my agenda. He is not the cheapest, but he is serious, keeps his price and at the end of the work there are no surprises - the job ends as he said it was going to be. Communication with Marc is very good, he responds right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
What expats want to know before hiring handymen in Barcelona.
Are there English-speaking handymen in Barcelona?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring handymen in Barcelona?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring handymen in Barcelona?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Spanish is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say handymen in Spanish?
In Spanish, handymen are usually called manitas. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find handymen I can trust in Barcelona?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
