Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do waterproofing in Sitges. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. We use matte and satin emulsion paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, textured ceiling paint (gotelé) for old ceilings if the client wishes to keep it, 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 well. The last guest leaves at the end of summer, the first one arrives in the low season. In between, you have six or seven real days to repaint marked walls, touch up skirting boards, seal yellowed bathroom silicones, and make the kitchen presentable for the next photoshoot. 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 80s 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 lasts perfectly for 5-7 years with normal use and costs a tenth of replacing the tiles.

When to call for waterproofing in Sitges

Dampness treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious issues with rising dampness in ground-floor properties and seepage in flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, rising damp barrier injections, and breathable coatings that allow the wall to breathe without the paint peeling off. Full tiling of a 6 m² bathroom with mid-range materials costs between €1,800 including labour. Treatment of rising damp on a 4-metre wall costs between €600 and €1,000. A plasterboard false ceiling in a 12 m² room with LED spotlight installation costs between €700 and €1,200. Saltpetre, especially on the seafront, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render are salts that rise with moisture. Painting over it without addressing the source is a waste of time and money; the new paint will flake off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to scrape it 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 warranty on labour. 30-day warranty from us on labour. 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's result and a professional's lies in the preliminary and follow-up 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 the tape before the paint is completely dry. These details distinguish paint that lasts 8-10 years from paint that looks neglected after a month.

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 ceilings (gotelé), or treating dampness beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor using our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies holding vertical work permits.
Do you treat rising dampness (capillarity)?
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 comes back.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do completely: demolition, plumbing, electrics, 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 the wall condition. Detailed quote broken down by item within 24-48 hours.
