Shower waterproofing in Les Corts.
We stop shower leaks in Les Corts 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.
Waterproofing a shower in Les Corts, step by step
Flats from the 1960s and 70s in areas such as Les Corts and La Maternitat i Sant Ramon often have showers added where the bath used to be, with the tray bedded on brick and sealed only with silicone. Proper waterproofing is usually missing, so we strip back to the slab and keep to the hours the building sets.
On showers we waterproof in areas such as Pedralbes and Zona Universitària, 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.
After the visit you get a written quote setting out each stage of the waterproofing. We protect the rest of the bathroom, clear the rubble and leave it clean. Other nearby areas we cover: Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Sants-Montjuïc and Eixample.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Les Corts: which areas do you cover?
We work in Les Corts in areas such as Les Corts, La Maternitat i Sant Ramon, Pedralbes and Zona Universitària, and also nearby: Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Sants-Montjuïc and Eixample.
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.
