Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We carry out comprehensive flat renovations in Horta. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and begin. Damp treatment is a separate chapter. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp on ground floors and leaks from flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, barrier injections against rising damp, and breathable coatings that allow the wall to breathe without the paint flaking.

How we work

If you manage a holiday rental flat in Torrevieja, La Mata, or Punta Prima, you know that window well. The last summer guest leaves, the first low-season guest arrives. In between, you have six or seven real days to repaint marked walls, touch up skirting boards, seal yellowed bathroom silicones, and make the kitchen presentable for the next photo. We work in this format: small teams that come in, do what's necessary, and leave the same day or the next. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote. Kitchens in typical 80s apartments have small, dark tiles that age poorly. Changing all the tiles is a serious renovation. An alternative that is working well is painting the tiles with specific tile enamels after sanding and mordanting. It holds up perfectly for 5-7 years with normal use and costs a tenth of changing the tiles.

When to call for comprehensive flat renovation in Horta

Matt and satin plastic paint indoors, synthetic enamel on doors and skirting boards, stucco (gotelé) on old ceilings when the client wants to keep it, one-coat paint outdoors and on facades, and elastic coatings for walls with structural cracks. We work with professional brands like Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan depending on the type of surface. Complete bathroom tiling of 6 m² with average materials, between €1,800 including labour. Treatment of capillary damp on a 4-meter wall, between €600 and €1. Plasterboard false ceiling in a 12 m² room with LED spotlight installation, between €700 and €1. Saltpetre, especially on the beachfront, gets into exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see beneath the coating are salts that rise with moisture. Painting over it without treating the source is a waste of time and money; the new paint will peel in 6-8 months. The correct process is to descale, neutralise the salts with specific chemicals, and only then apply the paint system.

Materials and brands

Official manufacturer's warranty (3-5 years) plus our coverage on labour. Saunier Duval offers very good value for money, with the ThemaPlus Condens range as a benchmark for medium apartments and the Renova Condens for larger homes. For tight budgets, Ferroli and Baxi are reasonable alternatives, with noticeably lower quality than premium but sufficient for standard domestic use.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint an entire home?
A 80-100 m² home with a crew of 2 people is painted in 3-4 days with two coats. If walls need repairing, stucco (gotelé) needs smoothing, or damp needs treating beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor with our own elevated platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies that have authorisations for vertical work.
Do you treat rising damp?
Yes, with chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over damp without treating it never works; it always returns.
Do you undertake small comprehensive renovations?
Yes, we complete bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m²: demolition, plumbing, electricity, tiling, sanitaryware, and painting. For larger renovations, we refer to a specialised construction partner.
Do you cover and protect the house before painting?
Of course. We cover floors with foam board or thick plastic, protect sockets and skirting boards with tape, and move light furniture. Heavy items are moved away from the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, it's free and with no obligation. Prior visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. Detailed quote itemised within 24-48 hours.
