The process is laborious. We apply a thick levelling filler over the textured paint (gotelé) and let it dry partially. We sand it with an orbital sander until the surface is completely smooth. We apply a sealing primer and two coats of plastic paint. The dust generated during sanding is considerable. We cover the entire room with plastic sheeting before starting and vacuum carefully when finished. A standard 15 m² room, smoothed and painted, takes 2-3 days of work. One of the most frequent calls we receive in autumn-winter is from homeowners who haven't painted their house in eight or ten years. They've noticed the walls are no longer white but a hard-to-define yellowish-grey. Mediterranean light is unforgiving on walls. Cheap whites turn yellow due to slow oxidation, especially in rooms with direct sunlight or near the kitchen where steam and suspended oil reach the walls. Furniture marks, the accumulation of splashes over time, and small knocks on corners are cumulative. Matte plastic paint is the standard choice for ceilings and walls in rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. It provides a uniform finish without reflections, hides imperfections, and is easy to apply. For high-traffic areas (hallways, stairs, vestibules) and children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend washable satin plastic paint, which has a very slight sheen but allows you to clean stains with a damp cloth without damaging the paint.

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 preparation and finishing steps that amateurs often skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic sheeting. Applying masking tape precisely along edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with appropriate 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 within a month. 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. For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-damp and anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without producing black mould stains. Their application requires a prior primer with a fungicidal product if the wall already had mould traces.

Certainly. Quality plastics, masking tape, foam board depending on the surface. When finished, everything is cleaned and vacuumed. Houses built in the 70s-90s on the Costa Blanca often have textured finishes (gotelé) on ceilings and walls. This embossed coating was standard in construction at the time but has gone out of fashion, and buyers today perceive it as outdated. Smoothing out the textured finish creates a modern, flat wall and allows for any decorative style. Matte and satin plastic paint, synthetic enamel, textured finish smoothing, and professional wall preparation. Professional results without shoddy work.
