Short answer
What a renovation costs on the Garraf coast
A full renovation in Sitges, Vilanova or along the Garraf coast runs from €780 to €1,600 per m², so an 85 m² flat comes out between €66,300 and €136,000 over 10–14 weeks on site. Coastal specification — marine-grade joinery, stainless ironmongery — sits on top of that, and a listed old-town property is priced only after the heritage constraints are confirmed. The quote is fixed in writing 48 hours after the technical visit.
The per-metre rate is the same as inland. What changes on the coast is the specification: materials that would be fine ten kilometres from the sea fail here, and the apparent saving disappears in the first replacement cycle.
| Property | Typical size | Indicative cost | What shapes the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seafront or near-beach flat | 60–100 m² | €46,800–€160,000 | Marine-grade joinery and fixings |
| Listed old-town house | 90–200 m² | Priced after heritage check | Façade and interior protections |
| Second home, targeted works | 60–90 m² | Scoped to how the home is used | Water shut-off and remote control first |
| Bathroom only | 4–7 m² | from €3,200 | 10–18 working days |
| Kitchen only | 8–14 m² | from €4,500 | 12–25 working days |
What moves the number here
- Heritage constraints in the Sitges old town: joinery to a set design and material
- Terrace waterproofing, which facing the sea is never optional
- Whether climate control can be resolved without a unit on the façade
- The working calendar: summer lets and occupied neighbouring homes narrow the noisy weeks
Salt air
Why coastal specification is different
Salt in the air accelerates corrosion and degrades finishes that would last twice as long inland. Getting the material wrong here is expensive.
What has to be right
- External joinery: aluminium with marine-grade coating, or PVC
- Ironmongery and fixings in stainless steel, never plain steel
- Terrace balustrades: marine stainless or coated aluminium
- Awning and pergola anchors: stainless, or they work loose within years
- Shutters and guides in material that will not seize with salt
The mistake we see most
Plain steel fixings on a seafront terrace. Within three years they bleed rust down the façade, and the repair costs more than the original specification difference.
Heritage
Listed property in Sitges
Much of the Sitges old town carries heritage protection. It shapes what can be done before any design work starts.
Common restrictions
- Façade composition, openings and materials untouchable
- External joinery to a specified design and material
- No air conditioning unit visible from the street
- Original tiling, ironwork and ceilings to be preserved
What it means practically
If no external unit can go on the façade, climate control has to be resolved through an internal courtyard, the roof with owners association consent, or a system that needs no external unit. Checked before designing, not after.
Second homes
Property that stands empty for months
A large share of property here is used seasonally. That changes what is worth installing.
What we always recommend
- Leak detection with automatic water shut-off — the single best investment here
- Programmed ventilation or dehumidification for the closed months
- Remote temperature control, so you arrive to a conditioned house
- Keypad access, so you can let people in without handing over keys
- Materials that survive intensive use in high season
The failure that costs most
A leak in a house closed for three months. The automatic shut-off system costs a fraction of the damage it prevents, and it is the first thing we propose here.
Frequently asked
Renovations in Sitges: common questions
An 85 m² flat runs from €66,300 to €136,000. Coastal specification for joinery and ironmongery adds to that, and heritage constraints can too.
PVC or marine-grade coated aluminium joinery, and stainless steel ironmongery throughout. Plain steel corrodes within a few years and stains the façade.
The external unit generally cannot be visible from the street. Options are an internal courtyard, the roof with owners association consent, or a system needing no external unit.
Yes, it is routine here — most of our clients on this coast are not resident. Weekly photo reports, a named site manager, and no extra cost without written approval.
Leak detection with automatic water shut-off first. Then remote temperature control and programmed ventilation for the months the house is closed.

What we learn on site
Real housing problems in Barcelona, explained by the people who fix them.
Lighting
Lighting transforms a home more than any finish does, and it is the thing owners most often regret not having thought about while there was still time to change it.
Tourist licence
The right question is not how to renovate the flat. It is whether the flat can legally be used that way at all — and in Barcelona the answer is usually no.
Staying during works
Staying put saves the cost of temporary accommodation, and it lengthens the job and raises the price of the work itself. Here are the real numbers on both sides.
