We do wall smoothing in Progrés. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and then start. The most common mistake with damp is repainting the affected wall. It works for the first month, then the damp reappears, worse than before. The new paint now creates a barrier that traps water inside the wall. Damp isn't cured by painting. It's cured by identifying the source of the water and stopping it at its entry point. Only then do we repair the wall with the correct technique and repaint.

How we work

The treatment requires addressing the source of the water, not just the internal symptom. If the roof is degraded, the entire waterproofing needs to be renewed with new asphalt felt or a projected liquid polyurethane system. If the facade has structural cracks, they are sealed with elastic putty and repainted with specific facade paint that covers micro-cracks. Only after ensuring external watertightness do we repair the interior wall. Rising damp, roof leakage, internal condensation, and salt efflorescence. Diagnosis before action. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours.

When to call for wall smoothing in Progrés

Formal guarantee on the treatment. If the damp reappears at the same spot, we'll return. It's damp that rises from the ground through the walls by capillary action of porous materials. It manifests as a damp stain on the ground floor up to a metre from the floor, often with white efflorescence (salts crystallising as water evaporates). It's typical in old ground-floor homes, especially in areas with a high water table near the sea. There are four types of damp we commonly see on the Costa Blanca, each with a distinct cause, diagnosis, and treatment. Confusing them inevitably leads to ineffective treatments and wasted money. That's why we always start with a diagnostic technical visit before quoting anything. The difference between treating damp well or badly changes the durability of the result from five years to six months.

Materials and brands

Absolutely. Quality plastics, masking tape, foam board depending on the surface. Everything clean and vacuumed at the end. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur and professional result lies in the pre and post-steps that the amateur skips. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic. Applying precise masking tape on edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with specific putty before painting, not afterwards. 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 a paint job that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected within a month.

Indicative price

The price for wall smoothing in Progrés usually ranges between 114 and 2875 euros. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a painter take to come to Gran Alacant?
As the urbanisation is very close to Santa Pola and Elche, our painters usually confirm availability in less than 2 hours. For non-urgent jobs, the quote visit is typically scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, including areas like Monte y Mar.
How do I know the price will be as agreed?
Before starting, you'll receive a fixed written quote detailing materials, labour, and timelines. If something unforeseen arises during the work, you'll be informed and it will be approved before execution; it's never added to the invoice afterwards.
Are the painters registered and insured?
All Manitas professionals undergo a prior verification process, which includes registering as self-employed or a company, and holding public liability insurance. This ensures both your home and the community's common areas are covered while we carry out the work.
Do you attend to emergencies or weekend jobs?
We handle emergencies related to damp, leaks that have stained ceilings, or work prior to a key handover. We have painters who work on Saturdays and, in specific cases, also Sundays, subject to prior time coordination.
