Bathroom waterproofing in apartments usually fails at the joints rather than the main floor. Where the tiled floor meets the wall, around the shower tray, and behind the toilet pipework, small gaps let water seep into the screed below, and in an apartment that often means a neighbour's ceiling is the first place damage shows. Our approach for these bathrooms starts by checking those junctions before anything else, because a full re-coat over a failing corner rarely lasts.
Baqiq sits about 83 m above sea level, and the local facts shape the work. At that height, the area is not a low-lying flood zone, so the main concern for apartment bathrooms is usually moisture moving through existing joints and older tiling rather than water rising from below. For this reason we give more attention to repairing and sealing the wet-area edges, and we choose coating systems that suit a bathroom floor and walls rather than heavier systems meant for basements. Bathroom waterproofing in this area is typically priced per square metre, with the bathroom range listed in our service guide, and the final quote depends on how much of the existing surface needs stripping and repair.
Before the visit, it helps to have a few details ready. Tell us which rooms are affected and whether you can see staining, peeling paint, or soft plaster, and let us know if the problem is on the ceiling of a lower unit, since that can point to a leak in your bathroom above or beside it. Note whether the shower is enclosed or open, when the bathroom was last re-tiled, and whether there are cracks in the floor or walls near the drain. Measuring the bathroom floor and wall area beforehand will also speed up the assessment. With these answers, our technician can arrange the visit to check the joints, the drain, and the surfaces that need sealing.
In an apartment, a problem may start in your unit or in a shared line; we separate the two before any work.
