Villa repaints between lets
Not in Marbella right now? No problem. We’re English-speaking painters, so you can brief us by phone or WhatsApp.
This is for owners who let their villa to holiday guests, and for the property managers who look after it for them. Between two bookings, we put the scuffs and marks right, so the next guests walk into a place that looks cared for.
Quick doesn’t mean skipping the prep
Even a fast repaint between two bookings gets prepped. Holes and cracks are filled. Rough patches are sanded down. Damp stains are sealed, and bare spots are primed. Then it’s painted.
Fitting the work in between guests
Send us the checkout date and the next check-in. After we’ve seen the villa, we plan the work to fit that gap. If it won’t fit, we’ll say so straight away. Then we can split it over two gaps, or do the rooms guests use most first.
We finish with a full tidy-up and take every sheet and tin away. So your cleaner only has the normal changeover to do.
Keys, lockboxes and owners abroad
Most owners aren’t here when the work’s done, and that’s fine. We can hold a set of keys, or use your lockbox. We let ourselves in, do the job and lock up.
You get before-and-after photos on WhatsApp. So you can see what was wrong and how it looks now, from your sofa at home.
Working with property managers
A lot of villas here are run by a manager, and we’re happy to deal with them direct. They can book the visit, sort out access and agree the dates with us. We’ll send the quote to whoever needs it, the owner, the manager or both.
It also helps to have one painter who knows the villa. Next time something needs doing, we already know the colours and the walls.
What guests leave behind
Suitcases scrape hallway walls and chip door frames. Chairs rub marks by the dining table. By the pool, sun cream and wet towels leave greasy patches on the walls. And bedroom walls get knocks from beds and bags.
A dab of paint on a mark often shows up as a patch, because old paint has faded. So we clean the wall, fill any chips and repaint the whole wall. That way the colour is even.
Questions people ask us
Do I need to be in Spain while you work?
No. We hold the keys or use a lockbox, and you see the results in photos on WhatsApp.
How much does a repaint between lets cost?
That depends on what the last guests left behind. Send us photos, then we come and see it for free. You get a written quote before we book a date.
Can you do a few small touch-ups?
Yes. A couple of marked walls is a job we’re glad to take. Big or small, it doesn’t matter to us.
How does the paying side work?
There’s a deposit up front, and you get an invoice with IVA. That keeps the villa’s accounts simple.
What if a wall goes wrong after the guests are back in?
If our paint comes away within 12 months because of how we did it, we fix it for free, around your bookings. Leaks and storm damage aren’t covered, but we’ll still help and price the repair fairly.
When can a property manager reach you?
We pick up calls and WhatsApp Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00.
