Shower waterproofing in Mataró.
We stop shower leaks in Mataró 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.
Shower leaks in Mataró: what we check first
In homes near the sea, in areas such as Centre, Eixample and Havana, 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.
When the leak comes only from the joints, in homes in areas such as Rocafonda, El Palau and Escorxador it can be enough to rake out the grout, seal with a waterproofing product and regrout in epoxy. We decide that only after a water test shows the membrane underneath is intact.
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: Argentona, Cabrera de Mar and Sant Andreu de Llavaneres.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Mataró: which areas do you cover?
We work in Mataró in areas such as Centre, Eixample, Havana, Rocafonda, El Palau, Escorxador, Cerdanyola and La Llàntia, and also nearby: Argentona, Cabrera de Mar and Sant Andreu de Llavaneres.
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.
