We do waterproofing in La Florida. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Properties on the frontline of the sea have specific issues that require extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and migrates inwards with moisture. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel off the new paint within months. The solution is washing with specific chemical products before painting, neutralisation, and applying a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. 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 soon. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints, but it has the biggest impact on durability. The third step is applying the final paint. 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 uniform coverage without marks.

When to call for waterproofing in La Florida

Damp from leaks requires extra treatment. If water is entering 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. Yes, we organise work by room so you have unaffected areas. Water-based enamels with almost no odour allow you to live in the house during the work. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-damp and anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without developing black mould stains. Their application requires a primer with a fungicidal product if the wall already had mould traces.

Materials and brands

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Exterior-specific with UV filter. Official manufacturer warranty 8-10 years. Official warranty from the paint manufacturer plus our coverage on labour. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling paint or white stains? It's not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's because of 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; sea salt which deposits on surfaces near the coast; rare but torrential rains that strip layers; and Saharan dust that embeds itself between pigments. An economical 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.

Indicative pricing

The price for waterproofing in La Florida generally ranges from €170 to €5000. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and work time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or economical large-surface exterior paint. It works the first year but deteriorates noticeably by the second. You need to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The difference in cost per litre between the economical and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than compensates.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint a whole property?
An 80-100 m² property painted by a two-person team takes 3-4 days with two coats. If walls need repair, smoothing of textured ceilings, or damp treatment beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint external facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor using 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 damp will never work; it always comes back.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, for bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m², we do complete renovations: demolition, plumbing, electrics, tiling, sanitaryware, and painting. For larger 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 heavier items to the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free of charge and with no obligation. We visit beforehand to measure and check the condition of the walls. You'll receive a detailed quote itemised in 24-48 hours.
