Bathroom with a shower tray and black-framed screen

Shower waterproofing in Terrassa.

In Terrassa 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.

When does a shower need waterproofing?

  • A stain on the ceiling below
  • Damp on the adjoining wall
  • Tiles coming loose in the shower
  • Grout that darkens quickly

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 1960s to 80s flats in areas such as Centre, Vallparadís and Antic Poble de Sant Pere the tray is usually bedded in mortar over old bitumen felt that has broken down, or with nothing at all. We lift the tray and the shower tiling and lay a new membrane that laps onto the walls.

For level-access showers in areas such as Ca n'Anglada, Torre-sana and Montserrat 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.

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: Sabadell, Rubí and Castellar del Vallès.

Frequently asked questions

01

Shower waterproofing in Terrassa: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Terrassa, in areas such as Centre, Vallparadís, Antic Poble de Sant Pere, Ca n'Anglada, Torre-sana, Montserrat, Vilardell and Ca n'Aurell, and also nearby: Sabadell, Rubí and Castellar del Vallès. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

Is 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.

03

What 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.

04

Does 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.
