Bitumen bathroom waterproofing The bitumen layer under your tiles

You want a solid waterproof layer under the bathroom tiles to stop water reaching the slab below. Bitumen is the usual material for that role.

What the service includes

What bitumen bathroom waterproofing includes

  • Assessing the condition of the bathroom floor and wall bases before any work begins
  • Treating cracks and loose sections in the surface so the base is sound
  • Laying the bitumen roll or brushing the bitumen coating over the full floor area
  • Turning the layer up the wall bases to a height that covers the wet zone
  • Treating the corners and drain joints carefully as the most vulnerable points
  • Checking the layer after application to make sure there are no gaps or uncovered areas
How we work

From your call to the finished layer

  1. 1

    Tell us the situation

    Call or WhatsApp us and tell us whether the bathroom is under construction or finished, and whether the tiles are already in place.

  2. 2

    Surface preparation

    Before any material is laid, the floor must be clean, dry and free of cracks or loose sections, because any flaw under the layer weakens how well it holds.

  3. 3

    Laying the bitumen layer

    The roll is bonded or the coating is brushed over the full floor area and turned up at the wall bases. The corners and the joints around the drain are treated carefully, as these are usually the most vulnerable points.

  4. 4

    Protecting the layer before tiling

    Once the layer is ready it is left to settle, then work continues over it. Any hole or damage in it before tiling is in place will cancel its purpose entirely.

Questions

Questions about Bitumen bathroom waterproofing

The roll is a ready-made membrane cut to size and bonded to the surface with heat or adhesive; it suits flat, open floors. The coating is a liquid brushed on that reaches corners, irregular shapes and drain openings easily. The choice between them depends on the condition of the surface and the shape of the area to be waterproofed.

Bitumen is normally used on the floor and on the wall bases to a useful height above floor level, covering the area most exposed to water. The full walls around a shower area may call for a different waterproofing material better suited to a vertical surface and the way tiles are fixed above it.

No. The roll needs a clean, dry surface free of loose sections or cracks, otherwise it will not bond correctly and water will find its way under it. If the floor is already tiled, whether it is a suitable base needs to be assessed before work begins.

Because these areas have joints and changes in surface direction, and they are where water finds a path faster than anywhere else. A flat roll is hard to lay without gaps at a corner or around a drain edge, so these points usually need extra treatment with a coating or reinforcing strips before the main roll goes down.

Tell us whether the bathroom is under construction or finished, whether the tiles are in place, and where damp shows if it is visible. If you know what earlier work was done on the floor, that helps us assess the situation. The more clearly you describe it, the better we can judge what is needed.
