From €60 (call-out + 1st hour)
What does a Catalunya Servei plumber do, and with which materials?
We repair leaks, unblock drains, replace taps, cisterns and water heaters, and build new installations with Uponor multilayer piping or copper.
In our experience, most call-outs — leaks in embedded pipes, dripping cisterns, low pressure — are solved in a single visit if the technician carries the usual materials in the van. That's why our vans are stocked with the most common consumables; we only come back when a specific part is needed.
Multilayer pipe vs. copper: which suits your renovation?
Quick answer: For home renovations, multilayer wins on price and speed; copper remains the reference for exposed installations and high-temperature runs.
| Criterion | Multilayer | Copper |
|---|---|---|
| Indicative price | €25-35/m installed | €40-55/m installed |
| Corrosion and limescale | Doesn't corrode | Can pit in hard water |
| When to choose it | Embedded renovations, speed | Exposed runs, boiler rooms |
In practice, 80% of our renovations use multilayer; we keep copper for exposed runs and boiler connections.
