Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We smooth walls in La Bordeta. We visit the property, assess the job, provide a clear price, and get started. For doors, frames, skirting boards, and any interior carpentry, we use synthetic or water-based enamel. Water-based acrylic is what we use most today: it dries quickly, has no solvent smell, is washable, and durable. It's applied with a spray gun or a very short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Never with a brush on large surfaces, as this leaves marks.

How we work

Matte plastic paint is the standard option 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 (corridors, staircases, hallways) and children's rooms where walls get dirtier, we recommend washable satin plastic paint, which has a very slight sheen but allows for cleaning stains with a damp cloth without damaging the paint. The process is laborious. We apply thick levelling filler over the textured paint (gotelé) and allow it to dry partially. We then sand 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 sheets before starting and carefully vacuum upon completion. A standard 15 m² room, smoothed and painted, takes 2-3 days of work.

When to call for wall smoothing in La Bordeta

For damp areas (kitchens, bathrooms), there are specific anti-damp and anti-mould plastic paints that resist condensation and steam without generating black mould stains. Their application requires prior priming with a fungicidal product if the wall already showed traces of mould. Many people say that 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 prior and subsequent steps that an amateur often 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 filler before painting, not afterwards. Sanding between coats for a perfect finish. Applying primer when the wall requires it. Removing the tape before the paint fully dries. These details separate paintwork that lasts 8-10 years from that which looks poorly maintained after a month. When you paint again with good quality white plastic paint and two coats, the room changes radically, and the effect goes beyond mere aesthetics. The feeling of spaciousness increases. Light reflects better off the walls, so you need less artificial lighting. Furniture seems 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.

Materials and brands

Of course. Quality plastic sheets, masking tape, and foam board depending on the surface. Everything will be clean and vacuumed upon completion. Properties built in the 70s, 80s, and 90s on the Costa Blanca often have textured paint (gotelé) on ceilings and walls. This raised textured coating was standard in construction of that era, but it has since gone out of style, and current buyers perceive it as outdated. Smoothing out textured paint restores a modern, smooth wall and allows for any decorative aesthetic. 80-100 m² with a team of 2 people, two coats: 3-4 days. If prior removal of textured paint (gotelé) is required, add 2-3 days.

Indicative price
