Promenade Flats · Hillside Villas · Walk-In Showers · Sealing
Albir runs between the sea and the Sierra Helada, with apartments by the promenade and villas climbing the hillside. Both groups want showers and floors that look fresh and survive sand, damp and strong sun.
Walk the front towards the lighthouse and you pass buildings that fill up in summer and quieten for long stretches. Many are second homes, so bathrooms and floors are asked to look good after months of closure and then cope with intense use.
Sand gets into everything near the beach. It is carried on feet and towels and ground into floors, and abrasive grit is the natural enemy of a sealed decorative surface. We build a realistic picture of daily habits before suggesting a finish.
On the hill, villas offer bigger bathrooms, bedrooms with views and terraces facing the sea. The conversation there is more about walk-in showers, dressing areas and linking floors from room to room, with a calm, contemporary tone throughout.
Showers
A walk-in shower finished in one continuous tone looks spacious, and the floor can slope gently to a linear drain with no tray edge. That looks elegant, but it demands accurate falls, a continuous waterproof layer and careful detailing where wall meets floor.
We set out the drain position and the falls with you before work starts. A drain too far from the entry, or a floor that is almost flat, causes puddles and constant wet patches. Getting those details right is what separates a smart shower from a nuisance.
Glass screens, niches and benches are best planned in advance, since drilling a finished wall can compromise the waterproofing. We coordinate with whoever supplies the screen, so fixings are placed and sealed properly before the final coats are applied.
By the sea
For apartments close to the front, a mat at the entrance and a rinse point for sandy feet protect the floor far more than any additive. We suggest practical measures, and we include them in the care note so tenants and cleaners follow the same rules.
The finish is usually kept to bathrooms, kitchens and walls in holiday flats, with tougher tile sometimes retained in entrance areas. A mix of surfaces is often the most sensible compromise between style and wear, and we are glad to say so.
Humid, salty air means the sealer is working hard all year. We explain how to spot wear, such as water soaking in where it once beaded, and how a re-seal restores protection. Regular checks cost little and protect the surface beneath.
Hillside villas
Above the main road, villas stand among pines with sea views. Many have several bathrooms, and updating them together in a consistent finish gives a house a hotel-like calm without moving a single wall.
Terraces here catch the sun for most of the day. Interior microcement can run right to the glass doors, but fully exposed outdoor floors need a different decision, and we assess slope, drainage and slab before recommending anything outside.
Since owners often live abroad, we agree samples by photo and video call, and a neighbour or agent can hold keys. The job is then run by one project manager, with updates after each coating, so you are not left wondering.
How it works
We visit the property, measure the wet areas, check drains and falls, and leave sample boards. The written quotation describes waterproofing, preparation, coats and sealer, plus any other trade work that has to happen first.
The job moves room by room, with protection laid in shared hallways and lifts. At the end we hand over care notes written for owners, agents and cleaners alike, covering products to use and products to avoid.
Questions
Often, if the floor depth and drain position allow proper falls. We check the slab and plumbing during the visit and tell you honestly if a small step or tray would work better.
Grit scratches sealed surfaces over time. Entrance mats, a rinse point and soft mops reduce the wear, and we leave care notes for cleaners. Tough tile may suit entrance areas better.
Yes. We send photos, can hold a video call and leave samples at the property for an agent to check. Final colour is settled before the key coats go on.
Only in suitable conditions. Covered terraces are easier than open ones. We assess drainage and slab condition first, and suggest weatherproof tile or stone where conditions would be too harsh.
