We do waterproofing in La Prosperitat. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Matt and satin plastic paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, textured finishes on old ceilings if the client wants to keep them, 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.

How we work

Select the service you need for more details and to request a quote. 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, 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 necessary, and leave the same day or the next. Kitchens in typical 1980s 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 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 La Prosperitat

Dampness treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp on ground floors and infiltration damp on flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, injection barriers against rising moisture, and breathable coatings that let the wall breathe without the paint flaking. 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 €1,500. Plasterboard suspended ceiling in a 12 m² room with LED spotlights, between €700 and €1,200. Saltpetre, especially on the seafront, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render is salts rising with moisture. Painting over without treating the origin is a waste of time and money; the new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to scrape off, neutralise the salts with specific chemicals, and only then apply the paint system.

Materials and brands

Manufacturer's official warranty on the sanitaryware plus our labour coverage. 30-day labour warranty from us. Manufacturer's official 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 preliminary and subsequent steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic sheeting. 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 fully dry. Those details separate a paint job that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected within a month.

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 specialised companies with vertical work permits.
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 dampness never works; it always returns.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do them 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 move heavy items to the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and no obligation. A prior visit to measure and check the wall condition. Detailed quote by item within 24-48 hours.
