What painters in Jávea get asked for: render, sea damp and gotelé
Most villas in Jávea have rendered walls, old lime render or a 1990s monocapa (single-coat coloured render). The south side bleaches and cracks; the north side facing the Montgó grows algae and black streaks under the gutters. We wash, treat the algae, fill the cracks with an elastic filler and paint with a breathable masonry paint on ground floors, garden walls, porches and plinths reachable from a ladder or a small tower. Facades that need scaffolding are not our job.
In the flats around the Arenal and the Puerto the problem is inside. Sea damp gets into north-facing bedrooms, condensation runs down the walls in winter, and by spring there is black mould in the corners and paint lifting along the skirting. We clean with fungicide, prime with a stain blocker and finish with anti-mould paint. If the wall is still wet when we arrive, we tell you before painting.
The third job is gotelé. Buyers who have just completed on a flat in the Arenal or a villa in Tosalet built before 2000 want the texture gone. We scrape it off plaster, skim over it where it was painted with plastic paint, then fill, sand, prime and paint. It is the dustiest job we do and the one that changes a room most.
Painters in Jávea: prices per square metre
We price per square metre of wall and ceiling, including paint, masking, floor protection, small hole repairs and clean-up. A 12 m² bedroom has roughly 45-50 m² to paint and costs 180-300 €; a 90 m² flat in white 800-1500 €. Villas over 150 m² are quoted room by room. No call-out charge if you accept the quote; a visit you then decide against costs 35 €.
- Payment on completion: cash, card, Bizum or bank transfer. Invoice with IVA (VAT), emailed abroad if you are not here.
- Worked totals on painting a flat prices and, for textured walls, gotelé removal prices.

How we work with Jávea owners, here or abroad
- Photos of each room by WhatsApp, the floor area and white or colour. We reply in English, Spanish or Russian with a fixed price per m² and the number of days.
- We come between 8:00 and 21:00, with the key from your agency or neighbour if you are away. Masking, floors covered, repairs, primer, two coats, windows left open.
- Photos of the finished rooms, invoice with IVA, payment on completion. Six months written guarantee: a patch that flakes or a stain that comes through, we come back.
What moves the price up or down
Up: mould to treat first, strong colours needing three coats, ceilings over three metres (common in La Lluca and Cansalades), exposed beams, and furnished houses where large pieces cannot be moved out. Down: an empty house, white over white, sound walls and several consecutive days. Exterior render is quoted per m² after a visit, because the washing and crack filling decide the price.
When the job is bigger than a coat of paint
Three situations where we stop and tell you. Render that sounds hollow or comes away in sheets is a building repair. Diagonal cracks wider than two or three millimetres from window corners mean the house is moving. Damp that is still wet at the foot of ground-floor walls in the Puerto points to rising damp or a leaking terrace above. We paint what can be painted and refer you to a building firm for the rest; we do not waterproof terraces, replace render or work from scaffolding. Small plaster repairs we do ourselves, as in how to fill holes in a wall.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to paint a three-bedroom villa in Jávea?
A 120-150 m² interior in white with sound walls is roughly 1100-2000 € at 8-10 € per m² of wall and ceiling. Colour changes, mould treatment and high ceilings push it up; outside walls are quoted separately. Fixed in writing before we start.
Can you remove the gotelé from a flat in the Arenal, and how long does it take?
Yes. Gotelé removal and smoothing costs 12-18 € per m² of wall. A 90 m² flat takes a week with two painters, including filler, sanding, primer and two coats. The flat should be empty or the furniture covered, because the work produces a lot of dust.
I live in the UK. Can you paint the house while I am away?
Yes, most of our painting in Jávea is done that way. We collect the key from your agency or neighbour, send photos of every room before and after, and email the invoice with IVA. You pay by bank transfer or Bizum.
Do you paint the outside of the villa?
Ground-floor walls, garden walls, porches, plinths and railings, yes, with breathable masonry paint and anti-rust enamel on ironwork, from ladders and a small tower. We do not erect scaffolding, paint two-storey facades or replace blown render.
The mould in the bedroom keeps coming back. Will anti-mould paint fix it?
If it is condensation from sea damp in a north-facing room, fungicide, a stain-blocking primer and anti-mould paint keep it away for years as long as the room is aired. If water is coming through the wall, it returns within months; we check before painting.
