When do the drains need replacing?

  • The sink drains slowly
  • Trap dripping under the basin
  • Blockages that keep coming back
  • Gurgling when the bath empties

What the drain replacement includes

  • Every drain checked

    We check the material, fall, trap and connection to the soil stack.

  • New PVC pipes

    Sized correctly for the sink, basin, shower or bath.

  • Accessible traps

    They open for cleaning without removing the unit or fixture.

  • Washing machine and dishwasher

    Their own waste connection and trap, with no overflow when they empty.

  • Watertight joints

    Solvent-welded or sealed fittings, with no drips under the units.

  • Odour seal

    Every fixture has its own water seal so smells don't come back up.

Replacing drains in Ciutat Vella without lifting more than needed

In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, the soil stack is usually asbestos cement or cast iron and belongs to the building. We replace all the waste pipework in the flat up to the branch, with the right adaptor, and if the stack looks damaged we tell you so you can raise it with the community.

When the shower waste runs under the floor, as in many bathrooms in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera, we open only the strip we need, replace the run with its fall towards the stack and reinstate the floor. Before closing up we run water for a good while and check every joint.

One of our plumbers visits the home, finds what is causing the blockages and leaves you a detailed written quote; when we finish, not a scrap of old pipe is left behind. We also cover nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions

01

Drain replacement in Ciutat Vella: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

Is unblocking enough, or does the drain need replacing?

If the pipe is old, has too little fall or is misshapen, the blockage comes back. On the visit we check the section and tell you whether it is worth replacing.

03

Does the bathroom floor have to come up?

It depends on where the drain runs. It can often be replaced from the unit or an access panel; if it runs under the floor, we say so in the quote.
