Common questions about bathroom waterproofing and tanking in Edinburgh
Absolutely essential. Without proper waterproofing, water penetrates walls and floors causing structural damage, rot, mold, and expensive repairs. Building regulations require waterproofing in wet areas. It's a small investment that prevents major problems and protects your property value.
Waterproofing typically costs £300-£800 for a standard bathroom depending on size and system used. Wet room tanking costs £500-£1,200. This is included in our bathroom installation quotes. The cost is minimal compared to repairing water damage which can cost thousands.
Waterproofing installation typically takes 1-2 days including drying time between coats. Sheet membrane systems are faster (1 day), while liquid systems need 24-48 hours for proper curing. We never rush this critical stage - proper drying ensures effectiveness.
Generally no - waterproofing must be applied to the substrate before tiling. If you have water damage, we need to remove tiles, assess and repair damage, apply new waterproofing, then re-tile. Trying to waterproof over tiles doesn't address underlying issues.
We provide a comprehensive warranty on our waterproofing installations. The specific warranty period depends on the system used (typically 10-25 years from manufacturers) plus our workmanship guarantee. We use only certified systems and follow manufacturer specifications exactly.
All bathrooms need waterproofing in wet areas - shower enclosures, around baths, and behind sinks. Wet rooms need complete floor and wall tanking. Even standard bathrooms benefit from waterproofing to prevent moisture damage. Building regulations specify minimum requirements which we always exceed.
