Shower waterproofing in Barberà del Vallès.
We stop shower leaks in Barberà del Vallès at the base: a continuous membrane, falls towards the waste and a water test before the finish, so the ceiling below can dry out.

What shower waterproofing includes
-
Source of the leak
We find out whether water escapes through grout, waste or pipework before opening up.
-
Opening up the area
We lift the tray and shower tiles, leaving the rest of the bathroom alone.
-
Falls to the drain
We rebuild the base so water runs to the waste and never sits.
-
Continuous membrane
Membrane across floor and walls, with tape at corners, pipes and drain.
-
Flood test
We flood the base and check for any loss before closing it up.
-
New finish
Tray or tiles laid on top, with epoxy or mould-resistant grout.
Why showers start to leak
In areas such as Casc Antic and La Romànica, where winters can be cold, tiled showers go through temperature swings that open joints and crack the grout. We use a flexible membrane and epoxy grout, which cope with that movement much more readily.
On showers we waterproof in areas such as Eixample-Can Llobet, Estació-Ca n'Esteper and Can Serra, before closing up we plug the waste and fill the base with water. If the level holds and nothing shows below, we fit the tray or tiles; if not, we go back over the membrane laps.
With more than 20 years rebuilding showers we know what to look for on the visit; the quote is detailed and in writing, and the team works carefully and cleans up afterwards. Also nearby: Sabadell, Cerdanyola del Vallès and Ripollet.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Barberà del Vallès: which areas do you cover?
We work in Barberà del Vallès in areas such as Casc Antic, La Romànica, Eixample-Can Llobet, Estació-Ca n'Esteper, Can Serra, Parc Central, Parc d'Europa and Can Gorgs, and also nearby: Sabadell, Cerdanyola del Vallès and Ripollet.
02Is replacing the grout enough to stop the leak?
Only if the grout is the problem and the membrane underneath is sound. If water has already reached the floor slab, the shower has to be lifted and waterproofed again.
03What is a flood test?
We plug the drain and fill the waterproofed base with water. If the level holds and no damp appears below, the finish can go on.
04Does a tiled walk-in shower need more care than one with a tray?
Yes. Without a tray, the membrane and falls are all that hold the water back, so they must cover the whole floor and run up the walls.
