For significant renovations, we arrange a prior visit with a detailed itemised quote, free of charge. The kitchens in typical 80s apartments often have small, dark tiles that age poorly. Replacing all the tiling is a major renovation. An alternative that is proving effective is to paint the tiles with specific tile enamels after sanding and priming. This perfectly withstands normal use for 5-7 years and costs a tenth of replacing the tiles. Call us, message us via WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we respond within 10 minutes during working hours.

Damp treatment is a separate issue. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with capillary rising damp on ground floors and filtration 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. We use matte and satin plastic paint indoors, synthetic enamel on doors and skirting boards, textured paint (gotelé) on old ceilings when the client wants to keep it, monolithic paint outdoors on facades, and elastic coatings for walls with structural cracks. We work with professional brands such as Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan depending on the surface type. Saltpeter, especially on the beachfront, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see beneath the coating consists of salts that rise with moisture. Painting over it without treating the source is a waste of time and money; the new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to decrust, neutralise the salts with specific chemical products, and only then apply the paint system.

The first mistake is using a standard wall drill bit on tiles. The tip slips, and the tile cracks. You need a ceramic drill bit with a diamond tip. The second mistake is using an impact drill on tiles. Vibrations crack the tile from within, and fine cracks appear weeks later. You must drill without impact. The third mistake is not marking the centre correctly. A pencil mark on masking tape around the point prevents the drill bit from slipping. For small pictures up to 2 kg, a picture hook or nail is sufficient on most walls except tiles and plasterboard. For medium pictures from 2 to 8 kg, use a specific wall plug for the material with a 4-5 mm screw. For large pictures and mirrors up to 15 kg, use a reinforced plug and a 6 mm screw. For LCD TV brackets up to 50 inches and a real weight of 25 kg (including bracket weight), use two anchor points to a metal stud or pillar with an 8 mm screw. There are four common wall types in local homes, and each requires different techniques and materials. If the fixing is incorrect, the short-term result may seem acceptable. In the medium term, the weight of the picture or TV will cause the material to fail, and everything will end up on the floor.

The price for plasterboard ceilings in Cerdanyola del Vallès typically ranges between €176 and €2225. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time.
