Is bathroom waterproofing worth doing in a villa in Baqiq, and what does it cost? Baqiq sits about 83 m above sea level, and the work is priced per square metre, so the bill depends on how much floor and wall area needs treating. Bathroom waterproofing is typically priced at SAR 15–40 per m², which is a useful starting point for budgeting before anyone visits the site. Spray foam is quoted at SAR 20–45 per m² and epoxy coating at SAR 35–90 per m², so the material you choose will shift the total. A bitumen membrane sits at SAR 15–35 per m², giving you another option within a similar range.

Before any work is quoted, the inspection should start with a walk through the bathroom to check the floor slope toward the drain, the tile joints, and the junctions where walls meet the floor. Any visible cracks should be noted, because crack injection is priced separately at SAR 40–120 per metre and needs to be measured on site. The technician should also check the adjoining areas, since water that escapes a bathroom can reach the wall behind it and the slab below. Once the surfaces are inspected, the measurements are taken and the area is calculated so that a written estimate matches what will actually be treated.

To make the visit productive, clear the bathroom of loose items and move any rugs or mats out of the way so the floor and skirting are fully visible. Have the dimensions of the room ready, or a rough sketch with the wall heights, so the measurements can be checked against your records. Note any past leaks, staining, or damp patches, including where and when they appeared. If the bathroom sits above another living space, mention it, as that changes how the work is planned. Keeping these details ready helps the inspector give you a clear, accurate picture of the job.

In a villa, tanks, the roof and the yard lines are usually yours to look after, so it helps to know where the main valve and tank hatches are.
