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

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 Matadepera, step by step
In detached and terraced houses the upstairs shower often sits above the living room or kitchen, so a leak shows quickly on the plaster ceiling. We also check where pipes pass through the floor, a spot often left unsealed (mostly in areas such as Centre and Can Torrella).
On showers we waterproof, 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.
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: Terrassa, Castellar del Vallès and Sant Llorenç Savall.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Matadepera: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Matadepera, in areas such as Centre, Can Torrella, Les Pedritxes, El Cavall Bernat, Can Prat, Can Duran, El Pla de Sant Llorenç and Els Rourets, and also nearby: Terrassa, Castellar del Vallès and Sant Llorenç Savall. 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.
