Shower waterproofing in Sitges.
In Sitges we repair leaking showers without refitting the whole bathroom: we open up only the shower area and leave it watertight, with a new tray or tiles.

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 Sitges, step by step
In homes near the sea, in areas such as Centre, Poble Sec and Els Ametllers, 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.
In areas such as Sant Sebastià, Aiguadolç and Terramar 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.
We look at the shower and the neighbour's stain, explain the cause and send a detailed written quote; a site manager coordinates the repair. We also work nearby: Sant Pere de Ribes, Castelldefels and Gavà.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Sitges: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Sitges, in areas such as Centre, Poble Sec, Els Ametllers, Can Pei, Sant Sebastià, Aiguadolç, Terramar and Levantina, and also nearby: Sant Pere de Ribes, Castelldefels and Gavà. 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.
