Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We build partition walls and masonry in El Gòtic. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Saltpetre, especially on the seafront, gets into exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see beneath the render is salt rising with damp. Painting over it without treating the source is a waste of time and money; the new paint will peel off within 6-8 months. The correct process is to scrape it off, neutralise the salts with specific chemicals, 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 specialist enamels for tiles after sanding and priming. It lasts perfectly well for 5-7 years with normal use and costs a tenth of replacing the tiles. If you manage a holiday rental flat in Torrevieja, La Mata, or Punta Prima, you know that window of opportunity well. The last client leaves at the end of summer, the first arrives in 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 with small teams that go in, do what's necessary, and leave the same day or the next. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote.

When to call for partition walls and masonry in El Gòtic

Full tiling of a 6 m² bathroom with mid-range materials, between €1,800 including labour. Rising damp treatment on a 4-metre wall, between €600 and €1,000. Plasterboard false ceiling in a 12 m² room with LED spotlight installation, between €700 and €1,200. Damp treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp in ground floors and with leaks in flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, injection barriers against rising damp, and breathable coatings that allow the wall to breathe without the paint flaking off. Matt and satin emulsion paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, artex on 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 such as Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan depending on the type of surface.

Materials and brands

Running a new cable through a forty-centimetre-thick old masonry wall is not the same as running it through a plasterboard partition. Here, technicians need to know the city and bring the right equipment: long drills, SDS-MAX bits, heavy-duty rotary hammers, because without them, an installation that would take half a day in another city could take two days if you lack the correct tools. The painting and masonry sector suffers greatly from professionals who take on jobs, apply a couple of coats, and disappear. The finish only shows up a month later, not the next day. Poorly applied paint is noticeable in invisible runs in indirect light, in areas with denser application than others, in edges badly cut with painter's tape. The strong, constant sun will burn any exterior paint that isn't UV resistant. Cheap whites turn yellow in less than a year, intense colours lose saturation. For terraces and facades, we use paints with UV filters and an 8-10 year guarantee, not the cheap ones that last three summers.

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 artex, or treating damp before painting, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint external facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor with our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies authorised for vertical work.
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 come back.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, we do full bathroom and kitchen fits up to 15 m²: 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 will move heavy 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 by item within 24-48 hours.
