Our Service to You
Tanking & Waterproofing
Water damage is one of the most expensive (and stressful) problems in a bathroom or wet room — and it usually starts behind the tiles.
We provide professional tanking and waterproofing across Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Lincoln and the wider East Midlands. We make sure your space is protected before a single tile goes on.
Tanking is a waterproofing system applied to walls and floors in wet areas (like showers and wet rooms). It creates a sealed barrier that helps stop moisture getting into the surfaces underneath.
In short: tiles and grout aren’t waterproof. Tanking is what protects the structure behind them.
Additional Info
Where tanking is most important
We commonly recommend waterproofing for:
Walk-in showers and wet rooms
Shower enclosures and over-bath showers
Bathroom floors (especially around showers and baths)
Utility rooms and other splash zones
Commercial washrooms and high-use wet areas
If you’re not sure what you need, we’ll talk you through it and recommend the right approach for your space.
Our approach
A great finish starts with what you don’t see. Our tanking process is built around careful preparation and clear communication.
Depending on your project, we may:
Check the condition of existing surfaces and identify risk areas
Prepare the substrate properly (so the waterproofing bonds as it should)
Apply a suitable waterproofing system to the correct areas
Pay close attention to corners, joints, pipe penetrations and floor-to-wall transitions
Only begin tiling once the waterproofing stage is completed correctly
We will help you to bring your project to life.
