Shower waterproofing in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi.
In Sarrià-Sant Gervasi we repair leaking showers without refitting the whole bathroom: we open up only the shower area and leave it watertight, with a new tray or tiles.

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 Sarrià-Sant Gervasi: what we check first
In areas such as Sarrià and Les Tres Torres the bathroom often sits directly above a neighbour's and drains into an old shared soil stack. Before lifting anything we check whether the leak comes from the shower or the communal pipe, and we carry rubble down the stairs in sacks with the entrance protected.
On showers we waterproof in areas such as Sant Gervasi - Galvany, Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova and El Putxet i el Farró, 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: Les Corts, Gràcia and Horta-Guinardó.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, in areas such as Sarrià, Les Tres Torres, Sant Gervasi - Galvany, Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova, El Putxet i el Farró, Vallvidrera, El Tibidabo and Les Planes, and also nearby: Les Corts, Gràcia and Horta-Guinardó. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.
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.
