10 Tips to Keep Your Bathroom Watertight

Lifetime Warranty

Satisfaction Guarantee

Keeping your bathroom watertight is essential for maintaining the health and longevity of your home. Moisture and leaks can lead to mould, mildew, and structural damage, which are costly and challenging to repair. Here are practical tips to ensure your bathroom remains watertight, promoting a clean and safe environment for your family.

tips to keep your bathroom watertight

Regularly Check for Leaks

Inspect your bathroom regularly for any signs of leaks. Pay close attention to the areas around the shower, bathtub, and sink. Early detection can prevent significant damage.

Seal Grout Lines

Grout lines between tiles can become a breeding ground for mould and allow water to seep through. Sealing these lines can prevent water damage and maintain the integrity of your bathroom walls and floors.

Upgrade Caulking

Old or deteriorating caulking around your bathtub, shower, and sink needs to be replaced. A fresh bead of silicone caulk can effectively seal gaps and prevent water from leaking into unwanted areas.

Install Water-Resistant Materials

When renovating or building a bathroom, opt for water-resistant materials. Tiles, stainless steel, and glass are excellent choices for maintaining a watertight bathroom.

Ensure Proper Ventilation

Adequate ventilation is crucial in preventing moisture buildup. Ensure your bathroom has an effective exhaust fan that removes steam and humid air, reducing the risk of mould and water damage.

Fix Leaky Taps and Showers Promptly

A dripping tap or showerhead can lead to excessive moisture and water waste. Repairing leaks promptly can save water and keep your bathroom dry.

Use Shower Curtains or Doors

Shower curtains or glass doors are vital in preventing water from escaping the shower area. Ensure they are always closed during use and check regularly for gaps or tears where water might seep through.

Regular Drain Cleaning

Blocked drains can cause water to back up and overflow, leading to potential water damage. Clean your bathroom drains regularly to remove hair and soap buildup, ensuring water flows freely.

Waterproof Shower Areas

Waterproofing membranes are a must in shower areas. They act as a barrier beneath tiles to prevent water from reaching the underlying surfaces. Consider professional waterproofing services for the best results.

Professional Inspections

Sometimes, it's beneficial to have a professional assess your bathroom for potential water damage risks. They can offer expert advice and solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Keeping Your Bathroom Safe and Dry

Maintaining a watertight bathroom is crucial for the health and safety of your home. By following these tips, you can protect your space from water damage and ensure a clean, dry environment. However, even with the best precautions, leaks can occur.

Thank you Sam. My mum and I were very impressed with the quality of work, the communication throughout and the end product. Shower looks brand new!! Highly recommend 😊

00:29 14 Jul 24

From first contact everything was seamless and professional, Vivyan guided me through the quote and booking process. And then we met Sam who was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, caring and GENUINE. So a big tick for excellent customer service skills and work ethics. It has been over two months now since we had the first bathroom done and it is still as great as when it was first done. No leaks now and we are getting ready to book our other bathroom in for some TLC from Saba Seal. Highly recommend. Thank you Vivyen and Sam :)

Sam was amazing with his job quick and easy. I totally recommend this company, have had no issues ever since.

04:15 21 Aug 23

Thank you, Sam and Vivyan, for promptly arranging to fix the bathroom leak issue on-site. When I requested quotes online from two companies, Vivyan's response was timely and decisive. Sam's on-site visit was very punctual, and the bathroom grouting was done beautifully. Highly recommended.

12:16 09 Aug 23

Sam was very courteous and efficient, doing a great job in sealing a shower and patching up a balcony. He was thorough, did a very tidy and presentable job, and was pleasant to deal with. Highly recommended.

Sam and his team have always done great work when we have engaged them for properties we own as well as properties we manage.

We recently had Saba Seal complete our bathroom renovation and they were easy to deal with, finished on time and did exactly what was discussed. Can't thank them enough!

21:42 23 Dec 22

I was a bit skeptical at first, thinking this won't fix the leaking showers as the water was starting to destroy the underflooring under the house, so I read some of the reviews and decided to give them a try. Vivien returned my calls within the same day and booked in Sam to do the Job. They were both amazing. The result was also perfect.... the floor under the shower under the house is bone dry. Sam, you are a gentleman and hard worker, Thanks for fixing both of our showers. Vivien, you are a gem, Thanks for looking after this and organising everything. Most importantly, thank you for fixing the problem and prolonging the use of the existing bathrooms. Very hard to come accross trades people who can do a great job and are also organised, punctual, polite and professional. Keep up the great work!!!

New tiles on our shower floor carefully colour matched with our existing wall tiles, old mouldy grout removed, regrouted and sealed all in 1 day. Great workmanship, very little mess or disruption in comparison to a full renovation. Very pleased with the result. Can’t wait to use my new shower!

Arrived, explained and did the job with professional enthusiasm and care at the agreed quote. Highly recommended.

I used Sabaseal to reseal and regrout 2 shower recesses where the grout after 25 years was wearing thin or missing (mould was also becoming a problem) putting my shower at risk of water damage. Sabaseal explained the process of repair and that the sealing product used came with a lifetime guarantee.. Simon who did the repair arrived on time , was professional , took care not to damage the tiles and created little mess while doing the job and cleaned up afterwards. . The result is fantastic and the showers now look new. My dealing with the company waa smooth and contact was easy. I recommend Sabaseal.
