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.
Shower leaks in Vilassar de Mar: what we check first
In holiday flats the shower is used heavily in summer and hardly at all otherwise, so the grout dries out and cracks. With sea air keeping everything damp, a slow leak never dries and turns to mould; we regrout in epoxy and reseal the tray (frequent in Centre and El Barato).
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.
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: Cabrils, Vilassar de Dalt and Premià de Mar.

Frequently asked questions
01Shower waterproofing in Vilassar de Mar: which areas do you cover?
We work in Vilassar de Mar in areas such as Centre, El Barato, Veral d'Ocata, Les Pinedes and La Xinesca, and also nearby: Cabrils, Vilassar de Dalt and Premià de Mar.
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.
