Catarroja is one of those towns in l’Horta Sud that has its own inland sea. Its port, the historic landing stage that looks out over l’Albufera at the far edge of the market gardens and rice fields, has shaped the town’s character for centuries: people fished here, grew rice and even built boats. That past of water and farmland sits today alongside a dense town centre, very well connected to Valencia by metro line 1, home to around 28,000 people just over a quarter of an hour from the city centre.
Two very different kinds of home are woven into that fabric. On one hand, the flats from the 1960s to the 1990s on the newer streets, with services that are now ready for renewal and layouts designed for another era. On the other, the single-storey town houses on the older streets, with their courtyard, their generous ceiling height and, sometimes, a little damp built up over the years. Renovating in Catarroja is almost always a decision rooted in belonging: people who want to stay in their neighbourhood and get their home ready for the next twenty years.
We cannot talk about Catarroja without naming what happened in October 2024. The flood swept hard into much of the town and left ground floors, garages and commercial units under the mud, especially in areas such as Fumeral-Institut or Regió-Florida. Since then, many families have been facing the recovery of their homes with more patience than haste. We tell it with respect, because for many residents it is still the present. At Batecs we have spent more than 35 years carrying out full home renovations in Valencia and l’Horta, and we work in Catarroja from our base in La Eliana: with our own in-house team, a fixed quote and the care of someone who attends to a person, not a case file.
01 What we do
Renovation services in Catarroja
We cover the whole renovation of your home in Catarroja, from refreshing a kitchen to bringing a ground floor that has been underwater back into use.
Full home renovations
We bring the town-centre flat or the traditional town house up to scratch from top to bottom: new layout, services, bathrooms, kitchen and finishes, turnkey and with a fixed written price.
Kitchen renovations
Kitchens designed for the town-centre flat, opened up to the living room to gain the light that is missing, with bespoke units, worktop, services and appliances ready to use.
Bathroom renovations
We swap the bath for a shower tray, create accessible bathrooms or renovate the bathroom completely, with hard-wearing fittings and ventilation that keeps damp out.
Recovery after water damage
For the ground floors of the port and the town centre that went through the flood: we strip out what is ruined, dry to the core, check the wiring that was submerged and rebuild floors once there is no trace of damp left.
Partial renovations
When you would rather renovate just one room or spread the work across stages, respecting the rhythm of the town house or the town-centre flat.
Painting and interior design
The finishing touch that gives character: damp treatment, painting and interior design with a Mediterranean feel, tailored to the town-centre flat or the town house of l’Albufera.
If you are not sure what scope you need, we tell you frankly during the visit, even when what really suits you is less than you thought. We take it step by step.
What is different here
What is particular about renovating in Catarroja
Every home in Catarroja starts from a different point depending on where it is and what era it comes from. These are the issues that most shape the work and the budget in the town.
Recovering a ground floor that has been underwater
In Catarroja, the flood of October 2024 left many ground floors and ground-floor units that have had to be rebuilt from the bottom up. We tackle it in order and without shortcuts: first a deep drying-out and the removal of everything the water has spoiled; then the making good of wall surfaces, the inspection of the electrical installation that was submerged and the treatment of the damp that comes through in skirtings and walls; and only at the end, once we have confirmed it really is dry, the floors and finishes. Closing things up too soon is the most expensive mistake, because it means opening everything twice. We explain it clearly and we work at the pace each family can manage.
Town-centre flats and single-storey town houses
Catarroja is home to both the flats from the 1960s to the 1990s —with tired plumbing and wiring, little natural light and closed-off partitioning— and the older single-storey town houses, with a courtyard and good ceiling height, where before touching anything it is worth looking at the structure and rising damp. In the flat the priority is usually to renew services and open the kitchen to the living room to gain light; in the town house, the challenge is to modernise the home without it losing that timeless feel.
Permits and utilities in a dense town centre
Almost any renovation of any size in Catarroja involves a step with Catarroja Town Hall: work that does not touch the structure or the façade is usually resolved with a responsible declaration or notification, while taking down load-bearing walls, extending or working on the façade requires a licence. In a compact town centre, you also have to coordinate the removal of rubble, the access and the water and electricity connections carefully. We guide you and handle the paperwork so that the work is always in order, including when it comes to bringing a home back into use after the water.

03 Investment
How much a full home renovation costs in Catarroja
No two homes are alike. These market ranges are indicative: we always set the real price after the technical visit, with the items detailed in writing.
| Type of home and renovation | Indicative price | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Flat · update | ≈ €400-600/m² | Refreshed finishes, painting, floors and a tune-up of bathroom and kitchen, without major changes to the layout. |
| Flat or town house · mid-range renovation | ≈ €600-900/m² | Moderate layout changes, new services, complete bathrooms and kitchen, joinery and good finishes. |
| High-end full renovation | ≈ €900-1,300+/m² | Complete re-layout, climate control, high-end materials and bespoke interior design. |
Indicative market ranges in Catarroja for 2026, by way of reference. They do not constitute a quote or an offer. As a hypothetical example, an 85 m² mid-range flat would be around €51,000-76,500, but the real cost depends on your home, its condition and the quality of finishes you choose. For the recovery of a ground floor affected by the water, we do not give a fixed price or timescale in advance: it depends on the starting condition and the drying-out, and we only pin it down after seeing it.
What affects the price
The price depends above all on the floor area, the starting condition (the older or more battered the home, the more preliminary work is needed), the scope of the changes to layout and services, and the level of finishes you choose. In a home coming from water damage, how much making good and how many new services are needed before you can even think about finishes weighs heavily.
That is why we prefer to give you a fixed quote after the technical visit, with the items detailed, rather than an “off-the-shelf” price that then does not fit your home. That way you know from day one exactly what you are going to pay.

05 Real projects
Renovations in Catarroja and the surrounding area
A sample of the kind of homes we transform in Catarroja and across l’Horta, both in ordinary renovation and in recovery after the water.
Town-centre flat with open kitchen
Complete renovation of a flat several decades old: we opened the kitchen to the living room, renewed the plumbing and wiring from top to bottom and unified the flooring throughout the home. The family gained a bright, spacious day area where there had been small, closed-off rooms.
A new bathroom, comfortable and dry
We swapped the bath for a wide, easy-access shower, with a wooden panel, screen and durable materials. We reinforced the ventilation to prevent future damp and left a comfortable, safe space for everyday life.
A ground floor brought back into use
A representative recovery project after water damage in l’Horta: drying-out and making good, new wiring, damp treatment and new floors. We tackled it in phases, checking that everything was dry before closing up the finishes, to bring the home back into use with guarantees and without having to open it again.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about renovations in Catarroja
Do you recover ground floors and ground-floor units affected by the flood in Catarroja?
Yes. We help with the recovery of homes that have been underwater: deep drying-out, making good, inspecting and renewing the electrical installation that got wet, damp treatment and, at the end, new floors and finishes. We do it in order and check that everything is dry before closing up, so as not to have to open it twice. We support you at every phase and work at the pace each family can manage.
What kind of renovations do you do in Catarroja?
Everything: full renovations of town-centre flats and single-storey town houses, kitchens, bathrooms, phased partial renovations and recovery work after water damage. We adjust the scope to what your home really needs, no more and no less.
Do I need a permit to renovate in Catarroja and do you handle it?
It depends on the scope. A renovation that does not touch the structure or the façade is usually resolved with a responsible declaration or notification of works to Catarroja Town Hall; taking down load-bearing walls, extending or working on the façade requires a licence. We advise you and manage the necessary paperwork so that the work is in order.
How much does a full home renovation cost in Catarroja?
As an indicative market reference, it tends to range between around €400-600/m² for a refresh of finishes and €900-1,300/m² or more for a high-end full renovation. It depends on the floor area, the starting condition and the finishes. After the technical visit we provide a fixed quote detailed item by item.
How do you approach the recovery of a ground floor damaged by the water?
In order and without closing things up too soon: first the drying-out and making good, then the inspection of the installation that was submerged, the damp treatment and, lastly, floors and finishes. For this work we do not give a fixed price or timescale in advance, because it depends on the starting condition and the drying-out; we pin it down after seeing the home and explain it to you step by step.
How long does a renovation in Catarroja take?
It varies with the size and the scope. As a guide, a medium-sized flat usually takes between 8 and 12 weeks. For recovery work the timescale depends a great deal on the starting condition and how much needs drying out, so we prefer to confirm it after the visit rather than promising a fixed date.
Do you work in town-centre flats and also in single-storey town houses?
Yes, they are the two most common types of home in Catarroja and we renovate both. In flats we usually renew services and open the kitchen to the living room to gain light; in town houses we look first at the structure and rising damp, and modernise without the home losing its character.
Are you near Catarroja?
We work in Catarroja from our base in La Eliana and we move around Valencia and l’Horta every day. We know the area and the type of home in the town well, which lets us respond quickly and coordinate the work closely.
In summary
Catarroja is a town in l’Horta Sud with the soul of l’Albufera —the port, the market gardens and the rice fields—, next to Valencia and with a direct metro, where town-centre flats and single-storey town houses sit side by side. We renovate kitchens, bathrooms and whole homes and, after the flood of October 2024, also the recovery of ground floors that have been through the water: drying-out, making good, services, damp and floors, with respect and without shortcuts. We do it with our own in-house team, a single site manager and a fixed quote, and we hand it over turnkey.
As an indicative market reference, a renovation in Catarroja tends to range between ≈€400-600/m² (an update) and €900-1,300/m² (a high-end full renovation). For the recovery of ground floors after the flood we do not put forward a price or timescale: we pin it down once we have set foot in the home and checked the drying-out, with everything in writing and no small print.
