Shower waterproofing in Sant Feliu de Guíxols.
We stop shower leaks in Sant Feliu de Guíxols 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 Sant Feliu de Guíxols, step by step
In homes near the sea, in areas such as Centre and L'Eixample, 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.
On showers we waterproof in areas such as Tueda, Tueda de Dalt and Vilartagues, 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.
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: Santa Cristina d'Aro, Castell d'Aro, Platja d'Aro i s'Agaró and Palafrugell.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Sant Feliu de Guíxols: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, in areas such as Centre, L'Eixample, Tueda, Tueda de Dalt, Vilartagues, Sant Pol, Port Salvi and Puntabrava, and also nearby: Santa Cristina d'Aro, Castell d'Aro, Platja d'Aro i s'Agaró and Palafrugell. 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.
