We do tiling in Sarrià. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Yes, we have a specific painting system for walls with dampness: anti-salt sealer primer, breathable microporous paint that lets the wall breathe.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. It depends on the linear metres of affected wall. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, with no obligation. The treatment requires addressing the source of the water, not the internal symptom. If the roof is degraded, the entire waterproofing needs renewal with new roofing felt or a projected liquid polyurethane system. If the facade has structural cracks, they are sealed with elastic sealant and repainted with specific facade paint that covers micro-cracks. Only after ensuring external watertightness do we repair the interior wall.

When to call for tiling in Sarrià

Specific to homes on the front line by the sea. Saltpetre deposits on exterior walls, penetrating with moisture. It emerges during evaporation, forming white or bluish stains that peel paint from the inside. The treatment involves washing with specific chemicals and neutralising remaining salts with anti-efflorescence products. Application of a siloxane-type paint system that allows the wall to breathe without letting water pass through. This is dampness formed when indoor air, heavy with vapor, contacts a cold surface. Typical in kitchens and bathrooms without adequate ventilation, also in rooms facing north-facing facades which get colder in winter. It appears as water droplets on windows, cold room corners, black mould spots in cold wall areas. This is dampness rising from the ground through walls due to the capillarity of porous materials. It manifests as a damp stain on the ground floor up to a height of one metre from the floor, often with white efflorescence (salts that crystallise as water evaporates). It's typical in old ground-floor homes, especially in areas with a high water table near the sea.

Materials and brands

We only ask that it's of reasonable quality and arrives on site on the scheduled day. We purchase in bulk from local distributors. For mosaics, especially glass or small natural stone, you must use a clear white adhesive so it doesn't show through the grout lines. And use quality grout as mould on small mosaics is visually unpleasant and hard to clean later. 30-day warranty on workmanship and the manufacturer's official warranty on materials.

Indicative pricing

The price for tiling in Sarrià typically ranges from €140 to €3550. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. C1 cement adhesive is the most economical and sold in 25kg bags at any hardware store. It might be sufficient for tiling basic ceramic on dry interior walls. For floors, bathrooms, exteriors, or any modern, low-absorption porcelain stoneware tile, you need at least C2, ideally C2TES1 (cementitious, improved, extended open time, and reduced slip). The cost difference between C1 and C2TES1 is relatively small, but the difference in durability and resistance to detachment is enormous.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint a whole home?
An 80-100 m² home with a crew of 2 people takes 3-4 days to paint with two coats. If walls need repairing, smoothing out textured finishes, or treating dampness beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor using our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies authorised for vertical work.
Do you treat rising damp?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over without treating the dampness never works; it always returns.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do completely: demolition, plumbing, electrical, tiling, sanitaryware, and painting. For major renovations, we refer you to a specialised construction partner.
Do you cover and protect the house before painting?
Of course. We cover floors with hardboard or thick plastic, protect sockets and skirting boards with tape, and move light furniture. We move heavy items to the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and with no obligation. A prior visit to measure and check the wall condition. Detailed itemised quote within 24-48 hours.
