Ask what a renovation costs in Benidorm and the honest answer starts with questions. Is it a flat on a high floor or a house in the old town? Is it a holiday let that has been lightly furnished and rarely updated, or a permanent home? Each answer moves the price, and a reliable figure comes only after someone has seen the property.
Flat or old town house
Most of the properties we renovate here are apartments in high-rise blocks, so the job is a single floor or part of one, in a building shared with many households. The old town has older, lower buildings with thicker walls and narrower streets. A reform there looks more like a town house renovation, with questions about structure, damp in older masonry and how the building is reached. These are different cost profiles, so be wary of any figure quoted before a visit.
Many of the flats are holiday homes or long-term rentals, and their owners often want a finish that is robust more than ornate. That is a sensible way to hold a budget steady, and we are happy to talk through where to spend and where to keep things simple.
Scope is the biggest lever
A full reform often turns out to be a better answer than a string of small repairs, but it covers much more ground. The work may include:
- Layout changes, such as opening a closed kitchen or turning a corridor into storage.
- New wiring and plumbing.
- Kitchen and bathroom renovation.
- Tiling, plastering and painting.
- Windows, doors and air conditioning.
Each item you add or remove changes the total. A short list agreed early is the surest way to keep control of a budget.
What is behind the walls
Older flats often have pipes running through the walls in ways nobody recorded, and wiring from another era. Opening the walls is the moment to renew them, so a new kitchen is not sitting on forty-year-old plumbing. We cannot see inside walls at the quotation stage, so we assess honestly, tell you what we expect, and say so when something found later changes the scope.
It is also why a quotation written from photographs alone is only a starting point. The honest approach is a survey, a clear scope and an agreement that anything unforeseen is discussed before it is done.
Getting materials in and rubble out
In a tall building, the way materials arrive and rubble leaves matters as much as the work itself. Communities differ on lift use and working hours, and noisy tasks must be contained. This adds planning time to a job, and it is a reasonable thing for a quotation to account for. In the old town, narrow streets can limit vehicle access and affect deliveries and skip positions.
One project, not many trades
We handle design, building work, plumbing, electrics, plastering, painting, tiling, windows and doors and air conditioning as one coordinated project. That helps the cost in a quiet way: trades do not wait on each other, and repairs are not repeated because one team undid another's work. Our property renovations page sets out the service.
How we put a figure on it
We visit the property, or hold a video call if you are abroad, check access and building rules with you, and put the scope and quotation in writing. The quotation is free. Because the scope is written down, you can see exactly what is and is not included.
