Shower waterproofing in Vilassar de Dalt.
We stop shower leaks in Vilassar de Dalt 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 Nucli Històric, Barri del Pi and Sant Sebastià, 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.
When the leak comes only from the joints, in homes in areas such as La Galbanya, Les Oliveres and Les Cases del Tint it can be enough to rake out the grout, seal with a waterproofing product and regrout in epoxy. We decide that only after a water test shows the membrane underneath is intact.
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: Vilassar de Mar, Cabrils and Premià de Dalt.

Frequently asked questions

We work in Vilassar de Dalt in areas such as Nucli Històric, Barri del Pi, Sant Sebastià, La Galbanya, Les Oliveres and Les Cases del Tint, and also nearby: Vilassar de Mar, Cabrils and Premià de Dalt.
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.
