We do flooring in Can Serra. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Saltpetre, especially on the seafront, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render is salt rising with moisture. Painting over without treating the cause is a waste of time and money; the new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to remove the salt, neutralise it with specific chemical products, and only then apply the paint system.

How we work

The 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 lasts perfectly for 5-7 years with normal use and costs a tenth of replacing the tiles. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote. If you manage a holiday rental flat in Torrevieja, La Mata, or Punta Prima, you know that window well. The last client leaves at the end of summer, the first arrives at the start of the low season. In between, you have six or seven actual days to repaint marked walls, touch up skirting boards, reseal 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.

When to call for flooring in Can Serra

Full tiling of a 6 m² bathroom with mid-range materials, between €1,800 labour included. Rising damp treatment on a 4-meter wall, between €600 and €1,000. Plasterboard suspended ceiling in a 12 m² room with LED spotlights, between €700 and €1,200. Matt and satin emulsion paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, popcorn ceiling texture on old ceilings if the client wants 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. Damp treatment is a separate issue. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp in ground-floor properties and penetration damp in flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, injection barriers against rising damp, and breathable coatings that let the wall breathe without the paint flaking.

Materials and brands

Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur result and a professional one 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 the tape before the paint is completely dry. These details separate paint that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected after a month. Certainly. Quality plastics, masking tape, hardboard depending on the surface. We leave everything clean and vacuumed upon completion. Strong, constant sun will damage any exterior paint not resistant to UV. Cheap whites turn yellow in less than a year; intense colours lose saturation. For terraces and facades, we use paints with UV filters guaranteed for 8-10 years, not the economy options that last three summers.

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 repair, smoothing of popcorn ceilings, or damp treatment beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor with our own lifting platforms. For higher buildings, we work with specialised companies with vertical works 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 damp will never work; it will always return.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do completely: demolition, plumbing, electrics, tiling, sanitary ware, and painting. For larger renovations, we refer clients to a specialised construction partner.
Do you cover and protect the home 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 heavier 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. A detailed breakdown budget within 24-48 hours.
