Fresh paint is one of the fastest ways to lift a room, a corridor or a facade. It only lasts, however, when the wall behind it is properly prepared — and in Morocco, damp, salt air and strong sun are hard on paintwork.
StaysFix prepares surfaces, treats the causes of peeling and staining and applies finishes suited to each space, from guest rooms to exposed exterior walls.
Common challenges in hospitality properties
Peeling caused by moisture
Paint that blisters usually has a moisture problem behind it. Treating the cause first prevents repainting every season.
Repainting around bookings
Room-by-room scheduling, low-odour products and quick-drying systems help rooms return to service sooner.
Sun, salt and facade wear
Exterior coatings must withstand UV and, on the coast, salt air. Product choice matters as much as application.

Frequently asked questions
Can you repaint rooms between check-out and check-in?
For touch-ups and small rooms, often yes. For full repaints, we usually plan one or two days per room and schedule several rooms in sequence.
Do you apply traditional lime-based finishes?
We can apply or coordinate lime-based and traditional finishes such as tadelakt where appropriate, and will tell you in the proposal who carries out the work.
