Matte emulsion paint is the standard choice for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It provides a uniform, non-reflective finish, hides surface imperfections, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (hallways, stairs, lobbies) and for children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend washable satin emulsion, which has a very subtle sheen but allows you to clean off stains with a damp cloth without damaging the paint. One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter is from homeowners who haven't painted their homes for eight or ten years. They’ve noticed that the walls are no longer white, but a difficult-to-define yellowish-grey. Mediterranean light is very unforgiving on walls. Cheaper white paints yellow due to slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near the kitchen where steam and airborne oil reach. Furniture marks, stains from the passage of time, and small knocks on corners are cumulative. The process is laborious. We apply a thick levelling filler over the textured surface and let it dry partially. We sand it with an orbital sander until the surface is completely smooth. We apply a sealing primer and two coats of emulsion paint. The dust generated during sanding is considerable. We cover the entire room with plastic sheeting before starting and carefully vacuum upon completion. A standard 15 m² room, smoothed and painted, takes 2-3 days of work.

When you repaint with a good quality white emulsion paint and two coats, the room changes radically, and the effect goes beyond the purely aesthetic. The sense of space increases. Light reflects better off the walls, so you need less artificial lighting. Furniture appears cleaner by contrast. And, living in a freshly painted house feels different from living in one that needs a refresh. It's a modest investment with a disproportionate impact on daily well-being. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur and professional result lies in the preparatory and finishing steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic sheeting. Applying precise painter's tape on edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with specific filler before painting, not after. Sanding between coats for a perfect finish. Applying primer when the wall requires it. Removing the tape before the paint is completely dry. These details separate a paint job that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected after a month. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior joinery, synthetic or water-based enamel. Water-based acrylic is what we use most now: it dries quickly, has no solvent odour, is washable, and durable. It's applied by spray gun or a very short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces, as it leaves marks.

Of course. Quality plastic sheeting, painter's tape, card for surfaces as needed. Everything cleaned and vacuumed upon completion. Manufacturer's official warranty on the paint, plus our labour guarantee. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish paint, is peeling, or has whitish stains? It’s not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's due to the harsh exposure 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. Sea salt that deposits on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Sahara dust that embeds itself between the pigments. A cheap white paint resistant to UV would last three summers under these conditions. A paint specifically for coastal climates with a reinforced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good.

The price for plastering and rendering in Bellvitge typically ranges between €160 and €3400. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time.

The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap, 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, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between cheap and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than compensates.
