We do tiling in Gavà. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and then start. Properties on the seafront have specific issues requiring extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrate into the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel the new paint off within months. The solution involves washing with specific chemical products before painting, neutralising, and applying a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through.

How we work

The third step is applying the final coat of paint. For large facades, we use airless sprayers for a fast, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use quality rollers. We always apply two cross coats (the first vertically, the second horizontally) to ensure uniform coverage without brush marks. The second step is priming. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the substrate and creates a uniform base for the final paint to adhere to. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not adhere well to the substrate and could peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints, but it has the biggest impact on durability. The first step is substrate diagnosis. If the existing paint is well-adhered, we cover it. If it's peeling, we remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving the substrate clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with flexible filler that accommodates minor building movements without re-cracking. If there are saltpetre stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise before painting.

When to call for tiling in Gavà

Seepage dampness requires extra treatment. If water is entering from the roof, the roof must be repaired first. If it's rising damp from the ground, it requires a chemical barrier injection. Painting over it without treating the source is always a waste of money. Yes, we organise work by room so you can have unaffected areas. Water-based enamels with almost no odour allow you to live in the house during the work. The minimum recommended height for a false ceiling is 8-10 cm from the original ceiling. This difference creates more interior volume when installing recessed spotlights with boxes to prevent heat transfer or when integrating air ducts. For high ceilings in old villas where the height is excessive, we can plan a greater drop to restore proportion and allow for more sophisticated lighting.

Materials and brands

The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or inexpensive large-area exterior paint. It works the first year but visibly degrades by the second. You must invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, quality UV filters, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between the economical and professional options is relatively small. The difference in years of durability offers a significant return. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling paint or whitish stains? It's not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's because of the harsh environmental conditions of the area. The Costa Blanca combines four factors that destroy standard exterior paints: Intense and constant sun, over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation. Marine saltpetre depositing on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that gets embedded in the pigments. An economical white paint resistant to UV will last three summers under these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with reinforced UV filters will last 8-10 years looking good. We check the condition of the facade and choose the appropriate paint system for the material and exposure.
