Client Background
A tenant in a modern Teneriffe apartment noticed water seeping through the bathroom wall and leaving stains on the bedroom carpet. The property owner, living interstate, needed the leak fixed quickly and properly without expensive re-tiling or tenant displacement. The building’s body corporate also required the issue to be resolved by licensed waterproofing professionals to avoid structural damage.
The Problem
Upon inspection, the Platinum Seal team found multiple problem areas inside the shower:
- Cracked grout and pinholes in the floor joints
- Mould and discolouration along the lower wall grout
- Peeling silicone around the waste and corners
- Moisture build-up beneath the tiles detected via moisture meter
These failures had allowed water to escape behind the shower base, creating damp conditions under the tiles — a common problem in newer high-density buildings across Teneriffe.
Our Solution
After a same-day quote, our team carried out a complete epoxy shower re-seal, restoring the waterproof integrity of the shower without removing tiles.
Process:
- Preparation: All old grout and silicone were removed from walls, floor, and perimeter joints.
- Deep Clean: The area was treated with anti-mould solutions to sanitise and prepare the surface.
- Epoxy Application: High-grade epoxy grout was applied across all joints to prevent future leaks.
- Silicone Sealing: Flexible, colour-matched silicone was reinstalled around edges and fittings for a watertight, professional finish.
The entire leaking shower repair in Teneriffe was completed in under 24 hours, with minimal disruption to the tenant.
The Results
✅ Shower fully waterproofed with epoxy technology
✅ Leak completely sealed, protecting the surrounding flooring and walls
✅ No tiles removed or replaced — preserving the modern look of the bathroom
✅ Body corporate approval achieved with photographic documentation
