For large facades, we use airless sprayers for a quick, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use a good quality roller. We always apply two cross-coated layers (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, creating a uniform base for the final paint to adhere to. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not adhere well to the substrate and can peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints, but it has the biggest impact on durability.

Homes on the seafront have specific issues requiring extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrate inwards. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel off the new paint within months. The solution is to wash with specific chemicals before painting, neutralise, and apply a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. Toilets with high-level, low-level, or concealed cisterns, wall-hung models on a support frame, rimless models with no inner rim that are more hygienic and easier to clean. Basins on pedestals, inset into countertops, wall-hung with visible traps. Shower screens and bath screens that are fixed, sliding, folding, or corner units. Standard bathtubs, simple whirlpool baths, and walk-in shower trays when a full renovation is done. There are two very different scenarios when we talk about sanitaryware. The first is a one-off replacement. A cracked toilet, a basin broken by a dropped bottle, a bathtub conversion to a shower tray for accessibility. These are half-day or, at most, one-day interventions that don't require major works. The second is a complete bathroom renovation, where we change everything at once and coordinate multiple trades.

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Exterior specific with UV filter. Official manufacturer warranty 8-10 years. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap, large-coverage exterior paint. It looks good 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 cheap and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than makes up for it. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, flaking 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), marine saltpetre depositing on surfaces near the coast, rare but torrential rains that wash away layers, and Saharan dust that embeds itself in the pigments. Cheap white paint resistant to UV might last three summers in these conditions. Specific paint for coastal climates with a reinforced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good.

The price for waterproofing in La Dreta de l'Eixample typically ranges between €170 and €5000. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. For one-off replacements, we schedule a visit the same day or the next. We measure what is installed, check the type of drain, and assess if the subfloor and tiles will withstand the change without needing touching up. If it's a direct swap, we give you a fixed quote and bring the new sanitaryware. If the change involves touching up tiling or drains, we inform you beforehand so you know the full scope.
