We do waterproofing in El Besòs i el Maresme. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Damp treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious issues with rising damp in ground floors 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 flaking off.

How we work

If you manage a holiday rental flat in Torrevieja, La Mata, or Punta Prima, you know that window 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, seal yellowed bathroom silicone, and make the kitchen presentable for the next photo. We work in that format, small teams that come in, do what's needed, and leave the same day or the next. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote. The kitchens in typical 1980s apartments have small, dark tiles that age poorly. Replacing the entire tiling is a major renovation. An alternative that is working well is painting the tiles with specific tile enamels after sanding and priming. It holds up perfectly for 5-7 years with normal use and costs a tenth of replacing the tiles.

When to call for waterproofing in El Besòs i el Maresme

Matt and satin plastic paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, textured finish on old ceilings when 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 like Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan, depending on the surface type. Complete tiling of a 6 m² bathroom 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 spotlight installation, between €700 and €1,200. Saltpetre, especially on the seafront, gets into exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render are salts that rise with moisture. Painting over without treating the source is a waste of time and money; the new paint will peel in 6-8 months. The correct process is to chip away the affected render, neutralise the salts with specific chemicals, and only then apply the paint system.

Materials and brands

Official manufacturer's warranty on the sanitaryware plus our coverage on labour. 30 days of our labour warranty. Official manufacturer's warranty (2-5 years depending on brand) on the sanitaryware. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur and a professional result lies in the steps before and after that the amateur skips. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic. Applying precise masking 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 paint that lasts 8-10 years from paint that looks neglected after a month.

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, plaster smoothing, or damp 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 with permits 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 damp will never work; it will always return.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do completely: demolition, plumbing, electricity, tiling, sanitaryware, 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 pull 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 condition of the walls. A detailed quote by item within 24-48 hours.
