Bathroom waterproofing in Sharurah starts with the site's elevation. The centre of Sharurah sits about 724 m above sea level (SRTM open elevation data), so our technicians first look at how water drains from the bathroom floor, the shower area and the wall junctions, rather than assuming a standard layout. At this altitude, the priority is to confirm that existing falls direct water toward the drain and that no ponding areas have formed around the shower tray or the threshold to the corridor.
Other points are left to the site visit, because they depend on the building itself. The technician checks the condition of the existing tiles and grout, the state of the wall-to-floor junction, any hairline cracks in the screed, and whether the bathroom sits above a habitable room or a shared service duct. We also look at the type of membrane already in place, if any, and whether previous repairs have left patches that need removing before new work begins. Scope, materials and the final price are agreed only after these checks are complete, since a single hotel bathroom and a full serviced-apartment block can differ widely in what they require.
For the technician, the useful information is the room's layout and use: how many guests use the bathroom per day, whether the shower is open-plan, and where the drain and floor falls are positioned. Please note any past leaks, staining on ceilings below, or areas that stay damp after cleaning. Access to the room during the visit, the availability of water and power, and the times when the room can be taken out of service all help us plan the work. Clear notes on these points let the technician prepare the right materials and reduce disruption for guests and residents.
For hotels and serviced apartments, rooms are handled in batches to keep units available.
