Shower waterproofing in Santa Cristina d'Aro.
We stop shower leaks in Santa Cristina d'Aro 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.
Why showers start to leak
In areas such as Santa Cristina d'Aro, La Teulera and Salom, where winters can be cold, tiled showers go through temperature swings that open joints and crack the grout. We use a flexible membrane and epoxy grout, which cope with that movement much more readily.
In areas such as Bell-lloc d'Aro, Bell-lloc I and Bell-lloc II we use liquid or sheet membrane depending on the substrate, with reinforcing tape at corners, around the drain and at every pipe. The waterproofing runs up the wall as high as the shower spray reaches.
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: Platja d'Aro, Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Calonge i Sant Antoni.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Santa Cristina d'Aro: which areas do you cover?
We work in Santa Cristina d'Aro in areas such as Santa Cristina d'Aro, La Teulera, Salom, Bell-lloc d'Aro, Bell-lloc I, Bell-lloc II, Golf Costa Brava and Romanyà de la Selva, and also nearby: Platja d'Aro, Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Calonge i Sant Antoni.
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.
