Our Leaking Shower Repair Procedure

OUR TRAINED TECHNICIANS WILL……

1. Check areas of the leaking shower or bath for signs of water penetration
2. Visually assess the internal areas of the leaking shower or bath for damage or deterioration.
3. Remove any mouldy or deteriorated sealants such as silicon.
4. Strip the existing grout out of the walls where necessary. (We do not strip sand and cement based grout, or remove grout where it may cause damage to the tiles).
   Cement based grout is usually of a sandy texture and is very difficult to remove without the risk of scratching / breaking your existing tiles.
5. Strip out any damaged grout from the floor area as needed. (Floor is normally sand and cement based) If the floor grout is still in good condition we will prep it and coat in an absorbent hydro barrier sealant which soaks in to seal the grout. This is not visible on completion.
6. Strip out grout from around the drain (waste) section as needed.
7. Prepare floor and wall junctions with DiamoSmart® diamond preparation technology.
8. Remove all waste material & vacuum excess dust from prepared areas.
9. Re-grout/top-up wall grout where necessary, replace damaged grout on floor only if needed. (Grout has waterproof additive so there is no need to Hydro Seal replaced grout).
10. Silicon the internal areas of the shower screen. (To ensure water can’t track under the screen – Complimentary Service).
11. Apply SealRight™ sealant to Wall and Floor junctions and drain (waste), area if needed.
12. Seal the leaking shower or bath area using our hydro barrier sealant on floor and walls if the grout is not replaced. This sealant is applied on the wall and floor areas as needed, forming a waterproof barrier beneath the surface of the grout. This soaks in and waterproofs anything that is porous, such as grout lines and hairline cracks.
13. Remove all tools and inspect to ensure workspace is left clean and tidy.
