Patio Sealing Quote and Driveway Restoration Calculator
Enter your area in square metres and the calculator multiplies it by our guide rate of approximately €15/m² + IVA, which covers cleaning, crack repair and two coats of synthetic resin paint. Attach a few photos to the same request and we turn that estimate into a confirmed, written quote.
Send us a photo and the m²Price calculator
Guide figure based on the general rate (cleaning + crack repairs + 2 coats). The final quote is confirmed from a photo.
How does the driveway quote calculator work?
It does one honest calculation: area × €15 = guide price before IVA. There are no hidden multipliers or teaser discounts; the number you see is the same starting point we use when your photos arrive.
- Enter the approximate m² of the driveway, patio, terrace or carport.
- Read the guide price before IVA and the totals at 21% and at 10%.
- Attach photos and tell us the town and anything about access.
- Receive a confirmed written quote in English, or a clear explanation if a refresh is not the right solution.
What numbers will I see for a typical villa?
The table below shows the same arithmetic the calculator does, for a range of common sizes. The IVA columns are illustrations; your quote states which rate applies.
| Area | Before IVA | With 21% IVA | With 10% IVA |
|---|---|---|---|
| 30 m² | €450 | €544.50 | €495 |
| 40 m² | €600 | €726 | €660 |
| 75 m² | €1,125 | €1,361.25 | €1,237.50 |
| 100 m² | €1,500 | €1,815 | €1,650 |
| 180 m² | €2,700 | €3,267 | €2,970 |
If you are not sure of your area, our guide on how to measure your driveway in m² covers rectangles, L-shapes, curves and satellite maps.
Why does the confirmed quote sometimes differ from the calculator?
Because the calculator cannot see your surface. Size is only one of three factors; condition and access are the other two, and they only show up in photos.
- Condition: deep oil stains, old peeling paint or many defects add preparation.
- Access: steps, ramps, narrow passages and obstacles add time and brush work.
- Layout: many small separate areas need more edging than one open space.
- Measurement: the m² you entered is checked against the photos.
When the confirmed figure differs, the written quote says why, line by line. The full reasoning is in how a floor painting quote is worked out.
What photos should I send for a remote quote?
Clear daylight photos are enough for us to price most jobs without visiting first. If you are abroad, a neighbour, cleaner or property manager can take them.
- A wide shot from each end of every area to be done.
- A view from the gate or house showing how the area is reached.
- Close-ups of the worst cracks, stains, peeling or broken edges.
- Any obstacles that stay in place: posts, planters, drains, steps.
A photo like the one above, showing the faded surface and the garage wall it meets, already tells us most of what we need about condition and cut-in.
What is included in a driveway restoration quote?
Every quote we send lists the areas, the m² of each, the rate, the work included and the IVA line. Included work is always pressure washing, routine crack repair, brush cut-in and two coats of synthetic resin paint.
What the quote does not include is stated just as plainly: work on a moving base, new paving, parking lines, indoor or industrial floors, structural assessment and any municipal paperwork. Our guide on what the €15/m² includes goes through each item.
How is IVA shown on the quote?
IVA is always a separate line, because Spanish rules require it to be clear whether a displayed price includes taxes. The general rate is 21%.
The reduced 10% rate can apply to repair and renovation of a home used privately by an individual (or a community of owners), where the dwelling was finished at least two years earlier and materials stay within 40% of the taxable base. Whether it reaches driveways and garages has not been verified (to be verified); see our IVA guide.
Can I use the estimate to budget a rental villa refresh?
Yes, that is one of its most practical uses before the season. The calculator figure gives you a realistic budget line in minutes, and the confirmed quote replaces it once the photos are in.
For a villa that is let, timing matters as much as the total. Tell us when the property is empty between bookings, and we plan the work and the drying time around those dates according to the product data sheet.
If several people need to sign off, such as co-owners or a management company, the written quote can be forwarded as it is. Each area, rate and IVA line is spelled out, so nobody needs to ask how the number was reached.
Which services can I price with the calculator?
The calculator uses the full refresh rate, which applies to plain concrete, imprinted concrete and sound block paving. For cleaning on its own, we quote individually from photos.
- Driveway painting cost for plain concrete driveways, patios and terraces.
- Imprinted concrete cost for stamped driveways, carports and pool surrounds.
- Communal garage quote for communities and their administrators.
Not sure which applies to you? Send the photos anyway. We will tell you which service fits, or whether a refresh is the wrong answer altogether.
Frequently asked questions
Is the calculator price binding?
No. It is a guide based on your m² × €15, before IVA. The confirmed price comes in a written quote after we have seen your photos, because the condition of the surface and the access can change it. If it does change, the quote explains each difference line by line.
What is the driveway painting quote for 50 m²?
At the guide rate, 50 m² × €15 = €750 before IVA. With 21% IVA that is €907.50; if the reduced 10% rate applies, €825. The figure assumes a sound surface with normal weathering and reasonable access, and is confirmed from your photos.
Can I send photos by WhatsApp?
Yes. Send them to 613 656 443 with your approximate m² and the town. You can also attach them to the quote form. WhatsApp is often easiest for owners abroad, because a neighbour or property manager can send the photos directly from the site.
Do you need to visit before quoting?
Usually not. Clear daylight photos and an approximate area are enough to price most driveways, patios and carports. If something important cannot be judged from the photos, we tell you and agree how to check it before confirming the quote.
What if I don't know the square metres?
Give us rough lengths and widths, or send photos with a known object for scale, and we will estimate. Our measuring guide shows how to work out the area of rectangles, L-shapes and curves, and how to use a satellite map. We check the figure before confirming.
Does the quote include IVA?
The quote shows the price before IVA and then adds IVA as a separate line, at the rate that applies to you. The general rate is 21%; the reduced 10% rate depends on legal conditions about the client, the age of the dwelling and the share of materials.
Will you reply in English?
Yes. Quotes and messages for English-speaking owners are written in English. If your property manager, administrator or accountant prefers Spanish, we can send the quote in Spanish too, so everyone involved works from the same document. Photos of the finished work come with English notes as well.
What does the quote include?
It lists each area and its m², the rate, the work included and the IVA line. Included work is pressure washing, routine crack repair, brush cut-in along edges and two coats of synthetic resin paint. Anything outside that, or any adjustment, is listed separately with a reason.
Can I get a quote for cleaning only?
Yes, but not through the per m² calculator, because cleaning alone depends mostly on how much dirt, algae or staining there is. Send photos and tell us you want cleaning only, and we reply with a written price based on what we see.
What happens if the photos show a structural problem?
We tell you before quoting. Cracks from a moving base, sunken slabs or broken-through sections cannot be fixed with filler and paint, and structural assessment is outside our service. We would rather lose the job than sell a refresh that will fail.
Can I get separate figures for different areas?
Yes. Tell us which areas you are considering, for example the driveway, the carport and the pool terrace, and we list each one with its own m² and price. That lets you start with the most visible area and add the others later, while still seeing the total for the whole property.
