Hicham
Barcelona, Aug 2026
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.

I called Liron in the morning and he sent someone in the afternoon, so it was very, very fast and we were happy overall. They fixed a leak under my sink because the tube underneath was destroyed and all the water was coming out. Communication was excellent and I would hire him again, but it did feel a bit expensive, and from my perspective the price was different. Also, they only changed the head of the tap, and we can still see some moisture in the drawers now.

Everything went very smoothly and I was very satisfied with Andrey's service for my washing machine. He was very responsive and professional, and he speaks quite good English, which made things much easier. We agreed on the price in advance, it felt fair, and he fixed the issue with the machine. My washing machine now works perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What expats want to know before hiring plumbers in Barcelona.
Are there English-speaking plumbers 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 plumbers 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 plumbers 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 plumbers in Spanish?
In Spanish, plumbers are usually called fontaneros. 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 plumbers 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.
