Guide On How To Stop Bathroom Leakage!

Waterproofing your bathroom is essential to prevent water damage and maintain its longevity. Here are some easy and effective steps to help waterproof your bathroom:


Guide On How To Stop Bathroom Leakage!



1. Prepare the area: Clear out the bathroom, and remove any fixtures, fittings, and accessories. Ensure that the surface is clean and free of debris.


2. Inspect the walls and floor: Check for any cracks or holes in the walls and floor. Repair any damages before proceeding with the waterproofing process.


3. Choose the right waterproofing material: There are various waterproofing products available, such as waterproofing membranes, paints, and sealants. Select a high-quality product suitable for your bathroom's specific needs. Explore the Water repellent solution by Nippon Paint Malaysia to make your bathroom leak free.


4. Waterproof the walls:

  • Apply the waterproofing material to the walls according to the product instructions. Typically, it involves using a roller or brush to coat the entire surface evenly.

  • Pay extra attention to the corners and joints where walls meet. Use reinforcement strips or membrane bands to strengthen these areas.


5. Waterproof the floor:

  • If you have a concrete floor, apply the waterproofing material directly to it using a brush or roller. For wooden floors, use a waterproofing sealer suitable for wood.

  • Apply multiple coats if necessary, ensuring complete coverage.


6. Seal around fixtures: To ensure a watertight seal, use waterproof silicone caulk around the base of the toilet, the edges of the bathtub or shower, and any other fixtures or pipes in the bathroom.


7. Waterproof the shower or bathtub area:

  • If you have a tiled shower or bathtub, use a waterproofing membrane or coating specifically designed for wet areas. Apply it to the walls and floor of the shower enclosure.

  • Overlap the membrane pieces for better protection and prevent water from seeping through the gaps.


8. Let it dry: Allow sufficient time for the waterproofing paint to dry completely. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the recommended drying period.


9. Check for leaks and reapply if necessary: Perform a water test to check for any leaks. Fix any issues found during the test and reapply the waterproofing material if needed.


10. Tile the bathroom (optional): If you plan to install tiles, wait for the waterproofing to dry completely before proceeding with the tiling process. Use a waterproof tile adhesive and grout to maintain the bathroom's waterproof integrity.


11. Regular maintenance: After waterproofing your bathroom, perform regular checks for signs of damage or wear. Repair any areas showing wear and tear to ensure the bathroom remains adequately waterproofed.


Remember, waterproofing is a crucial step in a bathroom renovation or construction. If you need more confidence in your DIY skills, consider seeking help from a professional to ensure a watertight and long-lasting bathroom.
