Kitchens in typical 1980s apartments often have small, dark tiles that age poorly. Replacing all the tiles is a major renovation. A good alternative that is working well is to paint the tiles with specific tile enamels after sanding and priming. They hold up perfectly for 5-7 years with normal use and cost a tenth of replacing the tiles. 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 off-season guest arrives. 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. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote.

Damp treatment is a separate matter. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp in ground floors and infiltration in flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, injection barriers against rising damp, and breathable coatings that allow the wall to breathe without the paint chipping. Matt and satin plastic paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, popcorn texture 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 work with professional brands like Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan, depending on the surface type. We replace broken tiles or renovate entire bathrooms and kitchens when painting is not enough. We coordinate painting and tiling in a single job to reduce time and avoid the need to call multiple trades.

Catalytic liners are gentler: special panels coated with material that oxidises grease at normal cooking temperatures. They don't require a special cycle, 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. Second, a faulty thermostat. The thermostat is the sensor that measures the internal temperature and compares it with 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 what the actual thermometer measures, the thermostat is the cause. Coverage on replaced parts and labour. Official manufacturer warranty on original parts.
