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.
Why showers start to leak
In holiday flats in areas such as Montaltnou and Montalt Parc the shower is used heavily in summer and hardly at all the rest of the year, so the grout dries out and cracks. With sea air keeping everything damp, a slow leak never dries and turns to mould; we regrout in epoxy and reseal the tray.
For level-access showers in areas such as Supermaresme, El Rocar and La Ferrera 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.
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: Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, Arenys de Mar and Caldes d'Estrac.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Sant Vicenç de Montalt: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Sant Vicenç de Montalt, in areas such as Montaltnou, Montalt Parc, Supermaresme, El Rocar, La Ferrera, La Plana d'en Marent and Can Pi, and also nearby: Sant Andreu de Llavaneres, Arenys de Mar and Caldes d'Estrac. 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.
