Services SCR aims to completely stop leaks at the source by preventing water from penetrating below the surface of the wall/ floor tiles or the junction joints within your shower recess, or balcony base - effectively resealing it and protecting against further leaks– without the need of removing or lifting any tiles. This means you can fix your problems without the original aesthetics of your shower or balcony being altered by replacement tiles. In extreme cases, and only when necessary, SCR can offer a complete re-build and re-tile option for bathrooms and balconies. SCR also provides expert care and ongoing maintenance for all natural stone surfaces in both residential and corporate buildings. “I’m looking for help with my… “ - Shower or bathroom

1. Plumbing All SCR technicians carry a water pressure-testing device to determine if there are any plumbing faults within the shower breeching piece. If a plumbing issue is the cause of the shower leak, our technician will advise to have a qualified plumber rectify the problem before making arrangements to seal the area.
2. Grout SCR will assess the existing wall and floor grout for deterioration, cracks and efflorescence. Unlike other companies, SCR grinds out and replaces the grout where required on ALL your shower walls and base using 4 kinds of waterproof additives unique to SCR. 3. Tiles Any cracked tiles can be repaired using our specialised products or the tiles replaced as required. Your SCR technician will advise you on the best option for tiling at the time of assessment. If required, SCR can offer a full re-tile option. 4. Seals All existing seals within the shower will be removed to ensure a clean product bond to the tile with the new seals. SCR technicians will apply new industrial waterproof polyurethane seals to all wall and floor junction joints within the shower recess- including vertical and horizontal hob and wall tile junctions. They can also apply epoxy seals and grout if required. 5. Screed SCR technicians can apply new screed bases to an incorrectly falling or pooling shower base (or balcony). 6. Waterproofing Membrane Where SCR is required to re-tile the shower base; we will apply at least two coats of high-quality waterproof membrane to the base before re-tiling. We will also apply waterproof fibre-cloth strips to the main junction joints and 100mm up the wall behind the riser tiles to ensure your shower or balcony is watertight. 7. Sealer A clear waterproof penetrative sealant is applied to the entire tiled surface area of the shower or balcony. Flooding the tiled area with this sealant ensures the grout and any pores or fractures in your tiles are strengthen and sealed |
