Investigating the 'tanking' process I came across MAPEI waterproofing kit and went on to doing the job myself. The kit includes wall primer, waterproofing 'rubber?' paint and waterproof tape for corners and shower tray perimeter. Following the instructions given I found it a straight forward task and prepared for professional wall finish.
Excellent product and great value for money. Would highly recommend
Great product! We use this on most of our bathrooms!
I’ve used this product now on 3 showers and was really pleased with the result. The flexible corner tape ensures a perfect seal on the corners and the tanking solution is really easy to apply with a brush or mini roller. Two coats gives a really good seal. The adhesion of tiles to the finished surface is solid.
Great easy to use, simply paints on and the corners go on easy
Read reviews on this product before purchasing, mostly positive remarks but there were a few negatives.... guess you'll never please everyone. Installed a new bath with power shower and there was enough primer, tape and waterproofing to cover the 3 meters of fibreboard wall the bath sits against and the 2 meters of flooring under the bath. The instructions for application are simple and easy to follow. Very pleased with my choice and highly recommend. One word of warning, wear gloves as the waterproofing hard to wash off skin in fact you'll have to peel it off.
The kit includes plenty of tape and lots of waterproofing goop, more than enough for my bath/shower. I found it quite straightforward to apply the tape and paint the product on with a large brush. Dries quickly.
Have used this product before and found it perfect that's why I've bought it again go's on great and haven't had any problems with it .
The Mapei Shower Waterproofing Kit is a solid choice if you want to make sure your shower is properly sealed. The kit includes everything you need, which saves time compared to buying components separately. Installation is fairly straightforward, especially if you’ve done tiling before, though beginners may find the instructions a bit technical at times. Once applied, the membrane and seals feel durable and give good peace of mind against leaks. The price is on the higher side, but considering the completeness of the kit and Mapei’s reputation, it feels like a goodinvestment.
Great waterproofing kit, this is the one I always use, make sure you use the primer first
Very good product and easy application. Very good price too
Used in prepping for a shower installation as a "belt and braces" protection from leaks. Very easy to apply and the finished coating is reassuringly good. I'm confident it will do the job for years to come.
This is without a doubt a highly valuable product that does a great job.
I feel the whole package has quite a lot of unnecessary single use plastic. The whole thing comes in a large plastic container which isn’t needed at any point and the liquid only filled about half that bottle size.
Gives great piece of mind when used in conjunction with the usual precautions for shower trays. Bit on the expensive side but have used for years and zero problems.
Great product, nice to use. Easy to administer and provides a great seal.
Very good product,easy to follow instructions and used a brush and mini roller to apply 2 coats
Does what it says on the tin! Or in this case the plastic tub!
Have used these kits a few times now, and they are great if the quantities in the kit match the area you need to cover. Don’t skimp on the gum and it will stop your plasterboard swelling if a tiny drop of water makes it past your tile system. It’s just belt and braces.
Works well as a waterproofing tape/tanking. Only gripe is that the primer bottle was supplied only half full and not enough to fully cover the wall.
Easy to use and does what is should and easy to tile on
