Shower waterproofing in Rubí.
We stop shower leaks in Rubí 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 Rubí, step by step
In 1960s to 80s flats the tray is usually bedded in mortar over old bitumen felt that has broken down, or over nothing. We lift the tray and the shower tiling and lay a new membrane that laps onto the walls (plenty of these in Centre and Mercat).
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, Sant Cugat del Vallès and Castellbisbal.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Rubí: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Rubí, in areas such as Centre, Mercat, Ca n'Alzamora, 25 de Setembre, Can Vallhonrat, El Pinar, Can Rosés and Les Torres, and also nearby: Terrassa, Sant Cugat del Vallès and Castellbisbal. 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.
