Seal a leaking shower or balcony — without lifting a tile

Most contractors will tell you the whole floor has to come up. We don't. Using a transparent chemical sealing process, we stop leaking showers and balconies from the surface — no demolition, no dust, no new tiles to match.

  • Tiles, grout and finishes stay exactly as they are
  • A fraction of the cost and mess of a rip-and-replace
  • Ideal for coastal apartments, second storeys and balconies
  • Backed by our workmanship guarantee
