Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out waterproofing in Argentona. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Efflorescence, especially on the front line of the sea, penetrates exterior walls. The white powdery deposits you see under the render are salts that rise with moisture. Painting over without treating the source is a waste of time and money; new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to remove the salt, neutralise it with specific chemicals, and only then apply the paint system.

How we work

The kitchens in typical 80s apartments have small, dark tiles that age poorly. Replacing all the tiles is a major renovation. An alternative that is working well is painting the tiles with specific glazes for tiles after sanding and etching. It holds up perfectly for 5-7 years with normal use and costs a tenth of replacing the tiles. If you manage a holiday rental flat in Torrevieja, La Mata, or Punta Prima, you know that window of opportunity well. The last summer client leaves, the first off-season client arrives. In between, you have six or seven actual days to repaint marked walls, touch up skirting boards, reseal yellowed bathroom silicone, and make the kitchen presentable for the next photo. We work in that format, small teams that go in, do what's necessary, and leave the same day or the next. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote.

When to call for waterproofing in Argentona

A 6 m² bathroom fully tiled with mid-range materials, between €1,800 including labour. Rising damp treatment on a 4-metre wall, between €600 and €1,000. Plasterboard false ceiling in a 12 m² room with LED spotlights, between €700 and €1,200. Damp treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp in ground-floor properties and infiltration in flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, injection barriers against rising damp, and breathable coatings that let the wall breathe without the paint cracking. Matt and satin plastic paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, popcorn ceiling finish on old ceilings if the client wants to keep it, single-coat paint for exteriors and facades, and elastic coatings for walls with structural cracks. We work with professional brands such as Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan depending on the surface type.

Materials and brands

Official manufacturer's warranty on the sanitaryware plus our coverage on labour. 30 days of our warranty on labour. Official manufacturer's warranty (2-5 years depending on brand) on the sanitaryware. Absolutely. Quality plastics, masking tape, hardboard depending on the surface. When finished, everything is cleaned and vacuumed.

Indicative pricing

The price for waterproofing in Argentona usually ranges between €170 and €5,000. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. For specific replacements, we book a visit the same day or the next. We measure what's installed, check the type of drain, and assess if the subfloor and tiles will withstand the change without needing retouching. If it's a direct swap, we give you a fixed quote and bring the new sanitaryware. If the change involves retouching tiles or drains, we'll inform you beforehand so you know the full scope.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint an entire home?
An 80-100 m² home with a 2-person crew will be painted in 3-4 days with two coats. If walls need repairing, popcorn ceiling removal, or dampness treatment 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 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 moisture source will never work; it will always return.
Do you do small, full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² are done completely: demolition, plumbing, electrics, 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 without obligation. An initial visit to measure and assess wall condition. A detailed quote by item will be provided within 24-48 hours.
