How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in under 10 minutes during business hours. One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter are from homeowners who haven't painted their house for eight or ten years. They've realised the walls are no longer white, but a difficult-to-define yellowish-grey. Mediterranean light is very unforgiving on walls. Cheap whites yellow due to slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sun or near kitchens where suspended oil and steam reach. Furniture marks, splashes over time, and small knocks on corners are cumulative. Matt plastic paint is the standard option for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. Uniform finish with no reflections, it hides surface imperfections, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (hallways, stairs, entrance halls) and children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend washable satin plastic, which has a very slight sheen but allows you to clean stains with a damp cloth without damaging the paint.

When to call for waterproofing in Les Corts

When you repaint with a good quality white plastic paint and two coats, the room changes radically, and the effect goes beyond purely aesthetic. The sense of space increases. Light reflects better off the walls, so you need less artificial lighting. Furniture looks cleaner by contrast. And living in a freshly painted house feels different from living in one that's due for a refresh. It's a modest investment with a disproportionate impact on daily well-being. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-mould and anti-humidity plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without generating black mould spots. Their application requires a primer with a fungicide product if the wall already had mould traces. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior woodwork, we use synthetic or water-based enamel. Water-based acrylic is what we use most now: it dries quickly, has no solvent odour, is washable, and durable. It's applied by spray gun or a very short-nap roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces as it leaves marks.

Materials and brands

Absolutely. Quality plastics, masking tape, hardboard depending on the surface. We leave everything clean and vacuumed afterwards. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur's result and a professional's lies in the preparatory and finishing steps that amateurs skip. 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 tape before the paint is fully dry. These details separate paint that lasts 8-10 years from paint that looks neglected after a month. 30-day workmanship guarantee from us. Official manufacturer's warranty (2-5 years depending on brand) on sanitaryware.

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, 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 holding 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 comes back.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, for bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do them completely: demolition, plumbing, electricity, 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 heavy items to the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and without obligation. A prior visit to measure and check wall condition. Detailed itemised quote within 24-48 hours.
