Shower waterproofing in Figueres.

We stop shower leaks in Figueres 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.

Waterproofing a shower in Figueres, step by step

In detached and terraced houses in areas such as Centre and 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.

In areas such as Horta Capallera, Creu de la Mà and Poblenou 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: Vilafant, Vilabertran and Llers.

Frequently asked questions

01

Shower waterproofing in Figueres: which areas do you cover?

We work in Figueres in areas such as Centre, Eixample, Horta Capallera, Creu de la Mà, Poblenou, Olivar Gran, Marca de l'Ham and Vilatenim, and also nearby: Vilafant, Vilabertran and Llers.

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.
