Does a bathroom in a duplex in Abu Arish really need waterproofing, and what does it cost? Many owners ask this when they notice damp patches on a wall beside the shower or a soft spot near the floor drain. The centre of Abu Arish sits about 67 m above sea level, so the town is not a low-lying area where groundwater pushes up into floors, and most moisture problems here come from the bathroom itself. Bathroom waterproofing for this type of work is priced at SAR 15–40 per m², and it is a sensible step before tiles are relaid or the wall finish is repaired. Spray foam, at SAR 20–45 per m², and epoxy coating, at SAR 35–90 per m², are the other common choices for the wet areas of a duplex.
When we inspect a duplex bathroom, we begin by tracing where the water is getting in. We check the floor and wall joints, the edges around the shower tray, and the area around the drain, since these are the spots where seals most often fail. Any hairline cracks are marked, and cracks that run through the tiling or the screed are priced separately as crack injection, which is charged at SAR 40–120 per metre. We then look at the existing finish, lift a few tiles where needed, and note whether the wall behind them is holding moisture. Once the bathroom is mapped, we explain which system suits each area, and we confirm the measured area in square metres before any figure is agreed.
To make the visit useful, please clear the bathroom floor and remove loose items from shelves and the area around the shower. Let us know which room has the damp patch, when you first noticed it, and whether the problem appears after showering or after rain. If you have access to the flat above or the unit next door, tell us in advance, as shared walls often carry the same moisture. Keep any old receipts for earlier repairs, because they show us what has already been tried. Having a clear list of the problem spots ready means the inspection can focus on the cause rather than the symptoms.
In a duplex, the two floors often share lines, so tests are done floor by floor.
