We do waterproofing in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat. We go to the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Salt efflorescence, especially on the seafront, penetrates exterior walls. The white deposits you see under the render are salts that rise with moisture. Painting over without treating the source is a waste of time and money; new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to remove the deposits, neutralise the salts with specific chemical products, and only then apply the paint system.

How we work

Kitchens in typical 80s apartments 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 etching. It lasts perfectly for 5-7 years with normal use and costs a tenth of replacing the tiles. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote. If you manage a holiday rental flat in Torrevieja, La Mata, or Punta Prima, you know that window well. The last client of the summer leaves, the first of the low season 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 that format, small teams that go in, do what's necessary, and leave the same day or the next.

When to call for waterproofing in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat

Full tiling of a 6 m² bathroom with mid-range materials, between €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 spotlight installation, between €700 and €1,200. Matte and satin emulsion paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, textured paint on old ceilings if the client wants to keep it, single-coat paint for exteriors and 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. Damp treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp in ground floors and leaks in flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, barrier injections against rising damp, and breathable coatings that allow the wall to breathe without the paint flaking.

Materials and brands

Warranty on replaced parts and labour. Manufacturer's official warranty on original parts. Second, lost thermostat. The thermostat is the sensor that measures the indoor 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 does not match the actual thermometer reading, the thermostat is the cause. Catalytic liners are gentler: special panels coated with a material that oxidises grease at normal cooking temperatures. No special cycle is required, but the panels eventually become saturated and stop absorbing grease. Replacing catalytic panels costs less than replacing the oven and restores the original self-cleaning function.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to paint an entire home?
An 80-100 m² home with a crew of 2 people takes 3-4 days to paint with two coats. If walls need repair, smoothing of textured paint, or damp treatment beforehand, add 2-3 days.
Do you paint exterior facades at height?
Yes, up to the second floor with our own lifting platforms. For taller buildings, we work with specialised companies with qualifications for vertical works.
Do you treat rising damp?
Yes, using chemical barrier injection methods and waterproofing mortars. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years. Painting over without treating the damp will never work; it will always come back.
Do you do small full renovations?
Yes, bathrooms and kitchens up to 15 m² we do entirely: demolition, plumbing, electricity, tiling, sanitary ware, 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 hardboard or thick plastic, protect sockets and skirting boards with tape, and move light furniture. We move heavy items from the centre of the room.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and no obligation. A prior visit to measure and check the condition of the walls. Detailed quote by item within 24-48 hours.
