Shower waterproofing in Vilafranca del Penedès.
In Vilafranca del Penedès 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 Vilafranca del Penedès, step by step
In areas such as Centre Vila, La Barceloneta and Molí d'en Rovira, 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.
For level-access showers in areas such as L'Espirall, La Girada and Sant Julià 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: Santa Margarida i els Monjos, Olèrdola and La Granada.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Vilafranca del Penedès: which areas do you cover?
We work in Vilafranca del Penedès in areas such as Centre Vila, La Barceloneta, Molí d'en Rovira, Poble Nou, L'Espirall, La Girada, Sant Julià and Les Clotes, and also nearby: Santa Margarida i els Monjos, Olèrdola and La Granada.
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.
