Shower waterproofing in Cabrils.
In Cabrils 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 Cabrils: what we check first
In detached and terraced houses in areas such as La Sagrera, El Sant Crist and L'Eixample the upstairs shower often sits above the living room or kitchen, so a leak shows up quickly on the plaster ceiling. We also check where pipes pass through the floor, a spot that is often left unsealed.
On showers we waterproof in areas such as Can Cabot, Can Tolrà and Santa Helena, 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.
We look at the shower and the neighbour's stain, explain the cause and send a detailed written quote; a site manager coordinates the repair. We also work nearby: Vilassar de Mar, Vilassar de Dalt and Cabrera de Mar.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Cabrils: which areas do you cover?
We work in Cabrils in areas such as La Sagrera, El Sant Crist, L'Eixample, Can Cabot, Can Tolrà, Santa Helena, Cabrils Dos and Els Garrofers de Baix, and also nearby: Vilassar de Mar, Vilassar de Dalt and Cabrera de Mar.
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.
