How to waterproof a bathroom step by step
Ultimate Bathroom Waterproofing Guide: Step-by-Step Tutorial
Join me in this comprehensive tutorial where I guide you step by step through the process of waterproofing a bathroom. Waterproofing is the most important part of a bathroom renovation; if you encounter a failure, it could lead to significant costs and damage. Remember, waterproofing should be done correctly the first time to ensure long-lasting protection.
Always remember, this is the way I do it, and it doesn't necessarily mean it's the only way or the best way for your specific project.
This video is intended to provide an idea of how waterproofing should look with the method I use.
Step 1: Begin by using a grinding stone to smooth the floor surface and remove any loose particles.
Step 2: Thoroughly vacuum the floor and wipe down the walls before applying primer to ensure proper adhesion.
Step 3: Apply primer to the prepared surfaces, ensuring thorough coverage for optimal adhesion of the waterproofing membrane.
Step 4: Use tape to mark off areas on the wall where you want to apply waterproofing for a cleaner finish.
Step 5: Apply a bond breaker to internal corners and cover any penetrations. Rubber sleeves can also be used to block penetrations. If the villa board is snug against the penetration, simply follow the bond breaker instructions without the need for fiberglass.
Finally, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully as you apply the waterproofing membrane. This tutorial will equip you with the knowledge needed to effectively waterproof your bathroom. Remember, waterproofing should be done once and done correctly. Happy renovating!

How to set out Herringbone pattern on a wall or floor

That is not accurate. This is geometric theory. When you set a herringbone pattern, the space between the pieces counts too. If you have a 3mm joint, you will have this 3mm taking its place, and the laser measure will let you know that you will have to share them, and the laser will not be in the middle of both columns, only in one, the center of the other col will be 3mm to the left, o 3mm to the right, depends on which column center you set the laser.
If that works for you that's excellent
This is a perfect visual, thank you
Your very welcome
I am starting a herringbone inlay next week and your video really helped me a lot. Thank you !
Your very welcome and I hope it all goes well for you Jack
Genuinely hate epoxy grout, we grouted 300 metres of 2x2 Johnson’s at a high school in grenfel, nsw in davco epoxy and 30 sponges later when I was a second year apprentice. The new epoxy grouts aren’t as bad but
I found the davco very hard to use nearly got blisters from it. If your ever going to epoxy onday try keropoxy I found it the easiest to use.
Last time I used epoxy was on a shower repair and used the ardex epoxy. I just genuinely dislike epoxy grout, but it’s essential on spas and mosaics in wet areas in my opinion
Thank you, you’ve really helped 😊me
Your very welcome
The pads make it heaps quicker and easier for us weekend warriors! Nice work and thanks for the upload. I’ve got 4 showers to do and I’m doing them on yellow tongue subfloor. Any tips appreciated Thankyou
Thank you very much. I would put hardies tile underlay on it before doing anything. Then reinforcement wire in the screed then waterproof on-top to falls and glue the tiles down
Leave it to the professional
@@benjamindelfs2718 nah I want to give it a go
@@the_rocksf1148 you can do it just take your time. If you stuff up just remove it sand and cement is cheap
Thank You
Your very welcome
