Shower waterproofing in Girona.
In Girona 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.
Waterproofing a shower in Girona, step by step
In 1960s to 80s flats in areas such as Barri Vell and Mercadal the tray is usually bedded in mortar over old bitumen felt that has broken down, or with nothing at all. We lift the tray and the shower tiling and lay a new membrane that laps onto the walls.
For level-access showers in areas such as Eixample, Sant Narcís and Montilivi we rebuild the screed with a continuous fall to the drain or linear channel, with no spots where water can sit. The membrane goes under the tile adhesive and bonds to the drain with its own connection collar.
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: Salt, Sarrià de Ter and Sant Gregori.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Girona: which areas do you cover?
We work in Girona in areas such as Barri Vell, Mercadal, Eixample, Sant Narcís, Montilivi, Palau, Santa Eugènia and Can Gibert del Pla, and also nearby: Salt, Sarrià de Ter and Sant Gregori.
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.
