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.
Shower leaks in Nou Barris: what we check first
In older buildings in areas such as Porta, Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta and El Turó de la Peira many showers were built on joist-and-vault floors with no membrane under the tiles. When water gets through, the stain appears in the flat below, so we arrange access with the neighbour to see the ceiling and work within the building's set hours.
On showers we waterproof in areas such as La Prosperitat, Verdun and Les Roquetes, 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: Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Nou Barris: which areas do you cover?
We work in Nou Barris in areas such as Porta, Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta, El Turó de la Peira, Can Peguera, La Prosperitat, Verdun, Les Roquetes and La Guineueta, and also nearby: Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac.
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.
