We do waterproofing in Arenys de Mar. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Filtration dampness requires extra treatment. If water is coming in from the roof, the roof must be repaired first. If it's rising damp from the ground, it requires chemical barrier injection. Painting over without treating the source is always a waste of money.

How we work

For large facades, we use airless spray guns for a fast, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use a good quality roller. We always apply two cross coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure even 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 and could peel off quickly. It's the step most often skipped in quick repaints, but the one that most impacts durability.

When to call for waterproofing in Arenys de Mar

Properties on the seafront have specific problems requiring extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with dampness, migrates into the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and cause the new paint to peel off within months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralising, and applying a siloxane-based paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. Toilets with high-level, low-level, or concealed cisterns, wall-hung models on an internal frame, rimless models without an inner rim which are more hygienic and easier to clean. Basins on pedestals, inset into countertops, wall-hung with visible traps. Shower screens and fixed, sliding, folding, or corner bathtubs. Standard bathtubs, simple whirlpool tubs, and extra-flat shower trays when doing a full bathroom renovation. There are two very different scenarios when discussing sanitary ware. The first is a one-off replacement. A cracked toilet, a basin broken by a dropped bottle, a bathtub you want to convert to a shower tray for accessibility. These are half-day or one-day interventions at most, not requiring major work. The second is a complete bathroom renovation, where we change everything at once and coordinate multiple trades.

Materials and brands

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Specific for exteriors with UV filter. 8-10 year manufacturer's official guarantee. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowed, peeling paint, or whitish stains? It's not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's due to the harsh exposure conditions in 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 that deposits on surfaces near the coast. Infrequent but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that gets embedded between the pigments. An inexpensive white paint resistant to UV will last three summers in these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with an enhanced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good. Manufacturer's official guarantee for the paint plus our coverage on labour.

Indicative price

The price for waterproofing in Arenys de Mar typically ranges between €170 and €5000. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or inexpensive large-surface exterior paint. It works the first year but visibly degrades by the second. You need to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between inexpensive and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than compensates. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint a whole home?
An 80-100 m² home with a 2-person crew takes 3-4 days to paint with two coats. If walls need repairing, smoothing artex, or treating dampness beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor with our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies with certifications for working at heights.
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 cause of dampness never works; it always comes back.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do completely: demolition, plumbing, electrical, tiling, sanitary ware, and painting. For larger renovations, we refer 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 from the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and no-obligation. A prior visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. A detailed quote by item within 24-48 hours.
