We do waterproofing in Cirera. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Filtration damp 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 it without treating the source is always a waste of money.

For large facades, we use airless sprayers for a fast, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use high-quality rollers. We always apply two cross coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform coverage without marks. The second step is priming. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the substrate, creating a uniform adhesive base for the final paint. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not adhere well to the substrate and could peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints, but it has the biggest impact on durability.

When to call for waterproofing in Cirera

Homes on the beachfront have specific problems that require extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrates inwards. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and cause the new paint to peel within months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralisation, and applying siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-damp, anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without creating black mould stains. Their application requires a prior primer with a fungicidal product if the wall already showed signs of mould. When you repaint with good white plastic paint and two coats, the room changes radically, and the effect goes beyond the purely aesthetic. The sense of space increases. Light reflects better off the walls, so you need less artificial lighting. Furniture appears cleaner by contrast. And living in a freshly painted house feels different from living in one that needs a refresh. It's a modest investment with a disproportionate impact on daily well-being.

Materials and brands

Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling, or stained white paint? It's not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's due to the harsh exposure conditions of the area. The Costa Blanca combines four factors that destroy standard exterior paints. Intense, constant sun, with over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation. Marine saltpetre that deposits on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that embeds itself between the pigments. An inexpensive 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. Official manufacturer's warranty on the paint, plus our guarantee on the labour. We check the facade's condition and choose the appropriate paint system based on the material and exposure.

Indicative pricing

The price for waterproofing in Cirera typically ranges from €170 to €5000. The final figure 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 inexpensive large-area 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, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between inexpensive and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability offers a significant return.

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 texture, 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 permits for vertical works.
Do you treat rising damp?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over dampness without treating its cause never works; it always returns.
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 clients to a specialised construction partner.
Do you cover and protect the house before painting?
Absolutely. 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. A prior visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. A detailed quote itemised within 24-48 hours.
