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

Complete tiling of a 6 m² bathroom with mid-range materials, around €1,800 including labour. Rising damp treatment on a 4-metre wall, between €600 and €1,000. Plasterboard false ceiling in a 12 m² room with LED spotlights, between €700 and €1,200. Matt and satin emulsion paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, textured finish on old ceilings if the client wishes to keep it, single-coat paint for exteriors and facades, and elastic coatings for walls with structural cracks. We use professional brands like Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan depending on the surface type. Dampness treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp on ground floors and with leaks on flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, injection barriers against rising damp, and breathable coatings that allow the wall to breathe without the paint flaking off.

Coverage for replaced parts and labour. Manufacturer's official warranty on original parts. Second issue, thermostat failure. The thermostat is the sensor that measures the interior temperature and compares it to the programmed temperature. When it fails, the oven may never reach the programmed temperature or may overheat and burn food. Diagnosis is done with a kitchen thermometer inserted into the oven. If the oven's reading doesn't match the actual thermometer's reading, the thermostat is the cause. Catalytic liners are gentler: special walls coated with a material that oxidises grease at normal cooking temperatures. It doesn't require a special cycle, but the liners eventually become saturated and stop absorbing grease. Replacing catalytic panels costs less than replacing the oven and restores the original self-cleaning function.

The price for gutters in El Papiol typically ranges between €208 and €3,690 as a guideline. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always finalise it after seeing photos or —if you prefer— a no-obligation site visit. In San Miguel de Salinas, an inland town with sea views surrounded by developments, everyday small breakages don't adhere to schedules.
