We carry out waterproofing in Sant Llorenç. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Homes on the seafront have specific problems that require extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with moisture, migrates to the inside of the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel off the new paint in a few months. The solution is washing with specific chemical products before painting, neutralisation, and application of a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through.

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 substrate diagnosis. If the existing paint is well-adhered, we cover it. If it's peeling, we remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving a clean substrate. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with elastic filler that accommodates small 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 second step is priming. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the substrate and creates a uniform adhesive base for the final paint. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not adhere well to the substrate and peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaintings but the one that has the biggest impact on durability.

When to call for waterproofing in Sant Llorenç

Dampness from leaks 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 without treating the source is always a waste of money. Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over untreated dampness will never work; it always comes back. There are two very different cases when we talk about sanitaryware The first is a one-off replacement. A toilet that has cracked, a sink that breaks when a bottle falls on it, a bathtub that needs to be converted into a shower tray for accessibility. These are half-day or one-day interventions at most, not requiring major work. The second is a complete bathroom renovation, where we change everything at once and coordinate multiple trades.

Materials and brands

The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or economical 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 difference in cost per litre between the economical and professional option is relatively small. The difference in years of duration more than makes up for it. The third step is applying the final paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns that provide 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. We check the facade's condition and choose the appropriate painting system for the material and exposure.

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 that have vertical work permits.
Do you treat rising damp (capillary action)?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over untreated dampness will never work; it always comes back.
Do you do small complete renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do 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.
