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

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 first step is assessing the surface. If the existing paint is well-adhered, we cover it. If it's flaking, we remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving a clean surface. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with elastic filler that accommodates minor building movements without re-cracking. If there are saltpetre stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise before painting. The third step is applying the final paint. For large facades, we use airless sprayers for a quick, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use good quality rollers. 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 Guineueta

Properties on the seafront have specific issues that require extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrate inwards. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel the new paint 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. Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over dampness without treating the cause never works; it always returns. 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 bath being converted into a shower for accessibility. These are half-day or day-long jobs at most that don't require major work. The second is a full bathroom renovation, where we change everything at once and coordinate multiple trades.

Materials and brands

We check the facade's condition and choose the appropriate paint system for the material and exposure. 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 environmental conditions. The Costa Blanca combines four factors that destroy standard exterior paints. Intense, constant sun (over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation). Sea salt that deposits on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that embeds itself between the pigments. A cheap white paint resistant to UV will last three summers in these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with a reinforced UV filter will last 8-10 years looking good. Manufacturer's official guarantee plus our workmanship coverage.

Indicative pricing

The price for waterproofing in La Guineueta typically ranges from €170 to €5000. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap, 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, quality UV filters, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between cheap 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 home?
An 80-100 m² home with a crew of 2 people takes 3-4 days to paint with two coats. If walls need repairing, smoothing out textured finishes, 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 specialist companies authorised for vertical work.
Do you treat rising dampness?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over dampness without treating the cause never works; it always returns.
Do you do small, full-scope renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do fully: demolition, plumbing, electrics, tiling, sanitaryware, and painting. For larger renovations, we refer you to a specialised building 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 no obligation. An initial visit to measure and check wall condition. A detailed quote by itemised costs within 24-48 hours.
