Painting company in Barcelona for homes and flats
When you are looking for a painting company in Barcelona, you need more than someone to put paint on the wall. You need an even finish, a home that is properly protected, no marks on floors or joinery, clean edges and a quote that is clear before the work starts.
At Obrescat we treat painting as part of the final finish of a home. We check the condition of walls and ceilings, spot cracks, scuffs, flaking, stains or areas where the paint no longer holds, and propose the right solution before painting.
As a renovation company in Barcelona, we can help whether you simply need the flat painted or the painting is part of something bigger: new flooring, doors, a bathroom, a kitchen or a comprehensive renovation.

How much it costs to paint a flat in Barcelona
One of the first questions before hiring painters is how much it costs to paint a flat in Barcelona. The price depends on the square metres, the condition of the walls, whether the flat is empty or furnished, whether ceilings are included, whether repairs are needed, the type of paint and how urgent the job is.
For a single room, depending on its condition, size, colours and whether the ceiling is included.
Ideal for an empty home, a letting, a sale or moving in, with neutral colours.
The usual range for interior walls in a standard home, depending on scope.
Includes more time for protection, moving furniture and working area by area.
For homes with cracks, scuffs, stains, ceilings or extra preparation.
Depends on the type of textured coating, the square metres, the state of the surface and the finish you want.
What affects the quote
What changes the quote most is the actual square metres to be painted, the number of rooms, whether ceilings are included, the condition of the walls, cracks, holes, scuffs, damp or nicotine stains, whether the flat is empty or furnished, the number of colours, the type of paint and whether the walls need smoothing.
For a first idea of the cost, send us photos of the flat on WhatsApp telling us the approximate square metres, whether it is empty or furnished, which rooms you want painted and whether any walls have cracks, damp, textured coating or stains.
Painting services for flats and homes
This page is focused on painting flats and homes. The idea is that you quickly find the solution you need, whether the flat is empty or you are living in it.
01
Painting an empty flat
Painting an empty flat is usually quicker because there is less furniture to move and protect. It is ideal for newly bought homes, flats between tenants, flats about to be let or homes being prepared for sale.
02
Painting a furnished flat
We move or cover furniture and protect floors, skirting boards, doors, windows, sockets and walkways.
03
Painting an occupied flat room by room
We organise the painting area by area to cause as little disruption as possible if you are living in the home.
04
Painting a flat to let or sell
Neutral colours, clean walls, touched-up ceilings and scuffs put right, so photos and viewings look better.
05
Painting ceilings, walls and hallways
We paint living rooms, bedrooms, entrance halls, walkways, ceilings and whole rooms.
Before painting
Wall repairs before painting
The quality of the result does not depend on the paint alone. It depends a great deal on the state of the wall before you start. If a surface has cracks, knocks, stains, flaking or poor adhesion, painting over it will only hide the problem for a short while.
Cracks, holes and scuffs
We fill holes left by pictures and wall plugs, knocks, marks left by furniture and small cracks. Then we sand and prepare the surface.
Damp and stains on interior walls
If there are damp stains, the first thing is to work out whether they are old, active, caused by condensation or by a leak.
Flaking paint
We strip back loose areas, make the surface sound, sand it, apply a stabilising primer if needed and paint with the right system.
Stained ceilings
We treat stains from old leaks, smoke, condensation or built-up dirt before applying paint.
Smooth walls
Smoothing walls and removing textured coating
Textured coating (gotelé) is still found in many Barcelona homes. Removing it or smoothing the walls transforms the look of a flat, but it is more technical and more laborious than a straightforward paint job.
When smoothing is worth it
It is worth it if you want a more up-to-date finish, a greater sense of space, a better sale or letting, or a flat that fits a more modern style.
How textured coating is removed
It may involve wetting, scraping, sanding, filling, sanding again, priming and painting, depending on the type of coating and the surface.
A smooth surface before painting
This needs good preparation, the right light to check for imperfections and paint applied correctly.
Fast service
Fast flat painters in Barcelona
Some painting jobs need a quick response: a flat going on the rental market, a home being handed over, a change of tenant, damage found before a viewing or an urgent touch-up after a small repair.
Painting a flat between tenants
We prioritise the main walls, scuffed areas, ceilings if needed and neutral colours that leave the home ready to show or hand over.
Painting a flat to let or sell
We recommend light tones, washable paint and putting visible damage right to improve that first impression.
Urgent painting in 24–48 h depending on the job
We can look at fast jobs in small flats, touch-ups, single rooms or empty homes needing few repairs.
What our painting service includes
A good painting service should be more than two coats of paint. It has to take care of the preparation, the protection, the order of the work and the final handover.
Protecting the space
We protect floors, furniture, skirting boards, frames, doors, windows, sockets and anything delicate.
Preparing the walls
We check for cracks, holes, scuffs, flaking and areas with poor adhesion. We fill, sand and make good where needed.
Applying the paint
We apply the right paint, normally in two coats, respecting drying times and avoiding roller marks or patchy coverage.
Final clean and check
We take up the protection, check the edges, touch up wherever needed and leave the home ready to use.
Recommended types of paint and finishes
Not every paint does the same job. Choosing well avoids stains, walls that are hard to clean, unwanted sheen or surfaces that wear out too quickly.
Washable emulsion paint
One of the most common choices for interiors: hard-wearing, even in finish and easy to clean.
Eco-friendly or low-odour paint
A good choice in occupied homes, children’s rooms or anywhere you want to keep odour down.
Matt, satin or semi-gloss
Matt hides imperfections; satin is harder-wearing; semi-gloss is kept for specific areas.
Neutral colours to let or sell
Warm whites, soft beige or warm greys make a flat feel brighter and more spacious.
How long it takes to paint a flat
The timeline for painting a flat depends on the square metres, the number of rooms, the condition of the walls, whether there is furniture, whether ceilings are included, whether there are repairs and whether several colours are used.
A room or single space
Can be done in 1 day, depending on its condition, the protection needed and whether the ceiling is included.
Small empty flat
Usually 1–2 days if it needs no major repairs or complicated colour changes.
Empty flat of 70–90 m²
Usually takes 2–4 days depending on ceilings, walls, the number of colours and the state of the surfaces.
Furnished flat
Can take 3–5 days or more because of moving furniture, protection and working room by room.
With repairs or smoothing
The timeline is set case by case, because preparation, drying times, sanding and priming all have to be respected.
Our process for painting your flat
To keep painting your flat simple, we follow a clear process from first contact to final handover.
Photos, measurements or a site visit
You send us photos on WhatsApp, the approximate square metres and the rooms to be painted. If needed, we arrange a site visit.
Itemised quote
We set out walls, ceilings, repairs, protection, type of paint, colours, textured coating or any special work.
Protection and preparation
We protect the space and prepare the walls to avoid stains, marks, visible patches and poor finishes.
Painting and checking
We apply the paint, check the edges, take up the protection and touch up wherever needed.
A clean handover
We leave the flat clean, tidy and ready to use, let, sell or move into.

Frequently asked questions about flat painters in Barcelona
How much does it cost to paint a flat in Barcelona?
It depends on the square metres, the condition of the walls, whether there is furniture, whether ceilings are painted, the type of paint and any repairs needed. As a guide, painting a small empty flat can start from €650–950, and the range for a 70–90 m² flat is published in the price table on this same page.
How long does it take to paint a flat?
A single room can be done in 1 day. A small empty flat can take 1–2 days. A flat of 70–90 m² usually needs 2–4 days if it is empty. If it is furnished, occupied or needs repairs, it can take longer.
Do I have to empty the flat before painting?
Not always. If the flat is empty, the job is quicker. If it is furnished, we can protect the furniture, floors and walkways. In occupied homes we organise the work room by room.
Do you protect furniture and floors?
Yes. We protect floors, furniture, skirting boards, doors, windows, sockets and anything delicate before painting. Protection is a key part of the service.
Do you paint flats to let or sell?
Yes. We paint flats before letting, selling, handing over or showing them to prospective buyers or tenants. In these cases we recommend neutral colours, washable paint and putting visible damage right.
Do you remove textured coating or smooth walls?
Yes. We can quote for removing textured coating and smoothing walls. The price depends on the type of coating, the state of the surface, the square metres and the finish you want.
What paint do you recommend for interiors?
In most homes we recommend a quality washable emulsion paint. In specific cases, low-odour, eco-friendly, stain-resistant or damp-area paints may be worth considering.
Can I request a quote with photos on WhatsApp?
Yes. Send us photos, the approximate square metres, the rooms to be painted, whether the flat is empty or furnished and whether there are cracks, stains or textured coating. With that we can give you a first idea.
