STOP Leaking Showers without removing tiles , water proofing, leaking shower recess repair, waterproofing and Superseal by Melbourne Tiling Services, official website

The most common cause of leaking showers occur between the floor and wall joints of the shower recess.

• Up to 90% of showers built onto a stud wall will eventually leak as a result of normal (even minimal) building movement and vibrations such as those caused by opening and closing doors.
• The grouting cannot withstand the movement and the result is shower leakage via the gap/s between the floor and wall.
• Solid brick homes can also experience the same problem as leakage can occur between the wall and floor.
• Even showers with a shower tray/membrane can often only cope with small quantities of water, and are not equipped with self-drainage systems. Once the tray is full the overflow will leak into the floor and walls often being absorbed by woodwork and carpet in adjoining areas.
• As well as looking unsightly, these damp areas often smell, rot and attract white ants.
• Silicones and shower "plugging" products may work for a limited period (depending on the quality of the product and the amount of leakage). However, efforts to remove dirt/mould build-up exacerbate the problem as few of the sealants are resistant to abrasive powder cleansers and/or scouring brushes.

By totally preventing water from penetrating through the gaps and joins of the shower recess the Superseal Service provides a long-lasting, cost-effective solution.

On-site procedure

• The shower should be clean, dry and not be used the night before.
• A fully trained Superseal technician will assess the shower and explain what will be involved in the Superseal Service.
• A moisture meter used to determine the level of concealed water behind the tiles and a pressure gauge to indicate any possible plumbing problems.

Preparation

• Existing grout and sealant are removed where required from the angles of the shower walls, step and screen.
• Standard taps and handles are removed and all surfaces carefully prepared, cleaned and primed.
  

Superseal Applications

• Superseal is applied to the angles of the shower wall, around the edges of the floor waste, between the first row of tiles and around the shower base and hob.
