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 homes near the sea, in areas such as Capaspre and Les Roques, humid air means water that gets under the shower simply stays there. We rebuild the base with a continuous membrane running up the walls and use mortars and adhesives suited to damp conditions.
In areas such as Dalt de Calella, Sant Quirze and Valldengulí we use liquid or sheet membrane depending on the substrate, with reinforcing tape at corners, around the drain and at every pipe. The waterproofing runs up the wall as high as the shower spray reaches.
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: Pineda de Mar, Sant Pol de Mar and Sant Cebrià de Vallalta.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Calella: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Calella, in areas such as Capaspre, Les Roques, Dalt de Calella, Sant Quirze, Valldengulí and Quilòmetre Tres, and also nearby: Pineda de Mar, Sant Pol de Mar and Sant Cebrià de Vallalta. 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.
