If the existing paint is well-adhered, we cover it. If it's peeling, we remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving a clean surface. If there are structural cracks (not superficial ones), we treat them with elastic 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. Second, we prime. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the surface and creates a uniform bonding base for the final paint. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not adhere well and could peel off soon. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints, but it has the biggest impact on durability.

Properties on the seafront have specific issues requiring extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrates into the substrate. When you paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel off the new paint in a few months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralisation, and applying a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through. Filtration dampness issues require extra treatment. If water is entering from the roof, the roof must be repaired first. If it's rising damp from the ground, a chemical barrier injection is needed. Painting over it without addressing the source is always a waste of money. The minimum recommended height for a false ceiling is 8-10 cm from the original ceiling. This difference creates extra interior volume when recessing spotlights with a box 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.

We check the facade's condition and choose the appropriate paint system for the material and exposure. Official manufacturer's warranty for the paint, plus our guarantee on labour. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling, or whitish-stained paint? It's not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's because of the harsh environmental conditions in the area. The Costa Blanca combines four factors that destroy standard exterior paints: Intense, constant sun with over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation. Marine saltpetre deposited on surfaces near the coast. Infrequent but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that embeds itself in the pigments. An economical white paint resistant to UV will last three summers in these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with reinforced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good.

The price for tiling in Sitges typically ranges between €140 and €3550. The final price depends on the property's condition, materials, and time required. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap, large-area exterior paint. It works the first year but visibly deteriorates 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 economical and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability offers a significant return.
