Bathroom with a shower tray and black-framed screen

Shower waterproofing in Cubelles.

We stop shower leaks in Cubelles at the base: a continuous membrane, falls towards the waste and a water test before the finish, so the ceiling below can dry out.

When does a shower need waterproofing?

  • A stain on the ceiling below
  • Damp on the adjoining wall
  • Tiles coming loose in the shower
  • Grout that darkens quickly

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 Cubelles: what we check first

In holiday flats in areas such as Nucli Antic, Bardají and Eixample the shower is used heavily in summer and hardly at all the rest of the year, so the grout dries out and cracks. With sea air keeping everything damp, a slow leak never dries and turns to mould; we regrout in epoxy and reseal the tray.

In areas such as Marítim, Mota de Sant Pere and Clot del Bassó 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.

With more than 20 years rebuilding showers we know what to look for on the visit; the quote is detailed and in writing, and the team works carefully and cleans up afterwards. Also nearby: Vilanova i la Geltrú, Cunit and Castellet i la Gornal.

Frequently asked questions

01

Shower waterproofing in Cubelles: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Cubelles, in areas such as Nucli Antic, Bardají, Eixample, Santa Maria, Molí de Baix, Marítim, Mota de Sant Pere and Clot del Bassó, and also nearby: Vilanova i la Geltrú, Cunit and Castellet i la Gornal. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

Is 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.

03

What 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.

04

Does 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.
