WATERPROOFING BATHROOMs

Yes! Waterproofing bathroom walls and shower floor helps prevent moisture from seeping through, which can lead to mold growth and structural damage. Without bathroom waterproofing, shower and bath areas are at risk of leaks, which can not only damage the bathroom but also cause costly repairs.

With today’s technology, it is now possible to waterproof 95% of wet areas without removing tiles. In fact, some of our large hotel partners shared that by waterproofing bathrooms, their housekeepers are able to save time cleaning by up to 50%. This does not only enhance their productivity but also makes cleaning corners easier and less taxing.

Waterproofing is required in areas where water can enter the building and cause damage to the structure or create an unhealthy indoor environment.

Here are some common places that waterproofing is needed:

* Waterproofing bathrooms is required because they come into direct contact with water on a daily basis. This constant exposure to water can cause serious damage to the bathroom over time, and can even lead to dangerous mold and mildew growth. By waterproofing shower walls and floor, you can protect it from this damage, and will also make it much easier to keep clean.

* Because balconies are often exposed to elements such as rain, snow and wind, they need to be properly sealed in order to prevent water damage. A good waterproofing sealant will create a barrier that makes it more resistant to stains, cracks, harsh weather conditions, chemicals, and climate changes.

Some of the most common causes of faulty waterproofing include:
* Improper installation

* Poor sealing
* Cracks or gaps in the foundation

By being aware of these potential problems, you can take steps to ensure that your shower waterproofing system is up to the task of keeping your bathroom and your property leak-free.

Through our DiamoSmart® system, we can ensure that tiles’ edges don’t have chips and their lustre is not diminished, which are often the issues in the old method of waterproofing shower walls and floor. This has revolutionised the service of shower waterproofing without removing tiles and set a new benchmark across the industry worldwide.

Our method of waterproofing bathroom without removing tiles involves scraping out old, worn, or mouldy grout from tile junctions and applying a hydro barrier to repel water absorption. We then apply a sealant to consolidate the seal in the junctions and replace the grout as a final aesthetic component.

Our team has introduced three revolutionary products and processes that set new benchmarks in the bathroom waterproofing industry not only in Australia but also worldwide:

* DiamoSmart® System. The DiamoSmart® System, copies of which are now used throughout the shower waterproofing industry, was pioneered by our Co-Director, Mark Studdert. The system maximises the bonding of sealants, increasing the longevity of the repair. As a result, the industry is now offering a product warranty of 25 years instead of the previous 12 years. Its microscopic extrication of old grout, sealants and grime does not cause visual damage to tiles as other methods of tile shower waterproofing did while the stria remains tractable to the bonding agent. Our SealRight™ product then guarantees more effective bonding of waterproofing agents to tiles without affecting the lustre of the sheen.

* Hydro Barrier. Our Hydro Barrier Sealant was developed in conjunction with an industrial chemical company to produce a top-of-the-range product ensuring a consummate barrier to oil and water penetration. Prior to this time, low-grade emulsoids were used, which provided less permanent remediation. Today, Hydro Barrier Sealant is the capstone sealant in the industry of waterproofing bathrooms.

* SealRight™. The introduction of our SealRight product in our process of waterproofing bathroom without removing tiles ensued from intensive market research. It was in use in the marine industry but not in the waterproofing of showers. Its translocation into our industry increased the effectiveness of bonding between structures and has now superseded older products for shower and bathroom waterproofing.

We carry out our bathroom waterproofing service to the strata industry, real estate agents, hotels, plumbers, builders, and homeowners, saving them thousands of dollars in lost rent, revenue, and unnecessary tiling repairs whilst eliminating the inconvenience of not having a shower for a week while it is being retiled. Our DiamoSmart® system ensures that we can waterproof bathroom flooring and shower areas using our specialised sealants without removing tiles.

After the process of waterproofing shower walls and floor, you can already use it the next day (after 24 hours)!

The Shower Repair Centre specialises in waterproofing bathroom without removing tiles using our exclusive patented products and procedures collectively known as the DiamoSmart® system, which is backed by our 25-year product warranty.

Each technician is personally trained to work with our process to guarantee customer satisfaction. Our DiamoSmart® system utilises a diamond-tipped blade that removes the sheen from the tile edge, creating a small gully in wall and floor junctions tool. This ensures that the high-quality sealant we use when waterproofing bathrooms will grip to the surfaces and last for many years.
