Our Wall Smoothing and Painting Process: A Step-by-Step Guide
Our comprehensive wall smoothing and painting service in Cerdanyola del Vallès follows a structured approach to guarantee a superior finish.
- 1
Initial Assessment & Preparation (1-2 hours)
We begin with a thorough inspection of your walls to identify existing textures, damage, and surface conditions. This allows us to tailor the smoothing technique. We then meticulously prepare the area, covering floors and furniture with protective sheeting and masking off skirting boards and door frames to prevent any accidental splashes.
- 2
Surface Treatment & Smoothing Application (1-3 days)
Depending on the existing surface, this step involves either sanding down rough areas, removing loose paint, or applying a bonding primer. We then apply multiple thin coats of smoothing plaster (masilla de alisado) using specialised tools. Each coat is carefully applied, allowed to dry, and then sanded to achieve a perfectly level and uniform surface. This is the most time-intensive part of the process.
- 3
Final Sanding & Dust Removal (1-4 hours)
Once the smoothing compound is fully cured, we perform a final, fine sanding to eliminate any remaining imperfections and ensure the walls are exceptionally smooth to the touch. This is followed by a thorough cleaning to remove all dust and debris, ensuring optimal paint adhesion.

Priming & Painting (1-2 days)
A high-quality primer is applied to seal the smoothed surface and provide an even base for the topcoats. Finally, two coats of your chosen paint are applied, ensuring full coverage and a professional, streak-free finish. We typically allow adequate drying time between coats for the best results.
