Our commitment
How Much Does Painting Cost on the Costa del Sol?
Every painting project is unique. The final price depends on the condition of the walls, whether the property is empty or furnished, the type of paint, the actual surface area and accessibility. That is why we never quote over the phone or give rough estimates.
We visit your property in Malaga at no cost, measure the real area (deducting doors and windows), assess the condition of the surfaces and deliver a fixed-price written quote within 24-48 hours. The price you accept is the price you pay — no increases or surprises mid-job.
Why We Do Not Quote Day Rates
In Spain, you may encounter painters who quote a precio por día (day rate). This is common with budget operators, but it creates a perverse incentive: the slower the work, the more they earn. With a day rate, you have no idea what the final bill will be until the job is done.
We work exclusively with fixed prices. You know the total cost before we start. If we finish earlier than planned, you do not pay more. If we take longer (rare, but weather can affect exteriors), you do not pay more either. The agreed price is the price.
Factors
What Affects the Price?
Wall condition
Smooth walls in good condition cost less. If there is flaking, cracks or damp damage, preparation work increases the price.
Empty or furnished
An empty property is faster to paint. Furnished homes need extra time for thorough protection of all furniture and belongings.
Type of paint
Standard emulsion, washable, satin, eco-friendly... Each type has a different cost. We advise on the best value for your needs.
Ceiling height
Ceilings over 3 metres require additional equipment and more time.
Number of colours
A single colour throughout is more economical. Multiple colours require more masking tape and application time.
Interior vs exterior
Exteriors require more resistant materials (elastomeric coatings, UV protection) and more thorough surface preparation.
