How waterproofing should look like in a bathroom
This is how I believe waterproofing should look in a bathroom. I have used this method for over 20 years and have never had a failure. I will continue my same practice. When it comes to waterproofing, it has to be done 100 percent correctly, and it’s best to get a professional who knows what they’re doing. I always recommend using a tiler to waterproof so they use an adhesive that is compatible with the membrane. Also, if something goes wrong and you get a leak, the tiler can't blame the waterproofer and the waterproofer can't blame the tiler.

How to epoxy... 1) Don't follow the manufacturers instruction, just make it doughy?
That's a decision you should make from your experience using epoxy. There are times when you purchase a product it could have sat in the manufacturer warehouse for a long time therefore part a could be more dryer than usual and you will need to decide how to get that correct.
Hey bro I’m a 4th year without a lot of waterproofing experience, I got 2 questions? I’m assuming this bathroom is getting fully tiled? But if it wasn’t how far out from the internal wall do you waterproof outwards, without it being seen especially if you go 200ml extra? and with the vanity (if the whole bathroom wasn’t getting tiled) do you waterproof the height of the backsplash and width of the vanity or just the outlets?
Thanks in advance
Hi If you have a shower screen you are ment to waterproof 150mm past it. You really only need to waterproof above the vanity 150.
No prob at all, if you need any more help let me know
Hey mate thanks very much for the awesome video. When you wipe the walls with wet sponge, do you wait for it to dry before applying primer? How long do you wait?
Thank you 😊 usually after I wiped down all the walls I just start with the priming from where I began wiping the walls. it should be fine because the sponge is just damp only to collect the dust off the wall. But it doesn't hurt waiting 1 hour before you prime
@@Jaxtiling1 thank you! A few more questions: do you do the silicone on the bond breaker before or after priming? How long do you wait for the bond breaker silicone to cure before the next step? How long do you wait for primer to cure?
I prime first that's usually dry within the hour, then input the silicon. Then i usualy waterproof about 1 hour later but you can wait a bit more for the silicon to dry
@@Jaxtiling1 Thank you! Super helpful
What’s slurry bro ????
It's cement mixed with water and brushed over the floor wet, so that when you apply the sand and cement mix over it, it Bonds to the concrete
@@Jaxtiling1 ohh okay thank you for the reply bro cheers
Why don’t you use Gripset products? Like their butyl tape and collars for penetrations are far better than fibreglass.
With the tape and sleeves it's not required with the class 3 membrane I use. Usualy the cut outs around the taps are within 3mm so that I can just use neutral cure silicon then waterproof. but that wasn't the case at the job I wanted to video back then when I made that video . Also the manufacturer will not warranty the membrane if you use those tapes they just say to use neutral cure silicon then paint over it, I have asked them and they said not to use them. But I do not disagree with you that they are better. I do think it's better to use as well . But got to follow the manufacturer's directions.
Nice work and nice video. Very helpful for us DIYers. One question... how long are you leaving screed to dry/cure before you go to your next steps (presumably waterproofing, then tiling)? Thanks in advance!
Thank you very much 🙏🙏😊 Let's say the temp is 22 degrees average, If you're a Diy er give the cement bed 2 days to dry then waterproof the first coat then the next day the second coat, give that a day to dry before you glue down the tiles. That's the safe way.
@@Jaxtiling1 Thank you so much for your reply. Very helpful and useful. Really appreciate your videos and your generosity of time and knowledge in replying to comments and questions!
🙏
Hey bro, very helpful video u done a cracka job. Just curious, do i have to put fibreglass around the taps if ive sealed it with sika ?
Thank you 🙏😊 For class 3 membranes I would use neutral cure silicone and just waterproof around them. If there a a big gap between the tap and villa board you can use tap sleeves.
Thanks Jax, your videos give me the confidence to do a decent job
Your very welcome 🙏😊
If you want to go there then your layout is wrong and should be off center so the tile can go point to point.
It's exactly as I show in the video
You can buy a "grout bag" for 7 bucks at HD. This is basically exactly the same as an icing bag, but larger. I had to trim the tip down a bit to increase the flow to how I liked it, but I think the grout bag is a much simpler method for smaller projects. If you're going to be tuck pointing a larger project, the caulk gun might be a much better method.
Well said , there are more broader things with this that you can do like epoxy grout and other grouts that are simulate to epoxy which is hard to do with a grout bag, a grout gun is more accurate and cleaner to use. This is a good alternative than going out and spending over $150 for a proper grout gun that when the seals wear and parts wear out you have to buy them again. I have tried both methods, and the grout gun wins buy a mile for me weather the job is small or big.
Nice work. Just a suggestion, If you wet concrete floor first and allow it to absorb for 10-20mins, the cement slurry wont dry out as quick and the cement bed will stick better
Thank you 🙏😊. Yes if the floor is very porous I usually wet it first but if not I do it as i go. I usually like to do section by section as I move towards the door to avoid getting the cement under my feet and walking it on my dropsheets lol. I'm a bit of a clean freak.
Awesome video, very informative
Thank you very much 🙏😊
Looking for something inexpensive to repair my front steps who need a little TLC. Thank you for this video! Did not want to spend $60 at HD and only using it once.
Your very welcome 🙏😊
Excellent completely understandable! Cheers!
Thank you very much 🙏😊
Nice work! What is this pad exactly? Cheers
Thank you 😊🙏 , It's sand and cement to give you the guide for the perimeter with a straight edge
Thank you bro!
Your very welcome 🙏❤️
You're on point! Good job mate
Thank you ❤️🙏
Jax I'm Fred based out of San Diego just got Licensed just started a channel. Reach out to me man I'd like to talk to you. Everyone thinks the middle is the corners, yes, that is very informative it is very confusing. Your example is great
🙏❤️
The bond breaker should be 15mm . Also no puddle flange
Yes you have to put a puddle flange, and yes
Very nice Job👍, I'd like to ask if the customer chooses a frameless shower screen or a glass panel, how can I hide the water stop bar? or just cut it off as you said some people do that.
Thank you🙏 I would put a chrome U chanel over it then the glass for frameless , if you're getting a framed shower screen that should just go over it but if you're going to cut it off to put a frameless shower screen hard to the floor, in Australia you have to now have a 25 mil step down or something like that it's a new code. But what people are still doing is they clut the angle flush with the tiles and you centre the glass over the angle so you don't see it
@@Jaxtiling1 Cheers mate!👍
Hi, great info. What mix are you using? 4:1 sand and cement? Thanks
Thank you 🙏 yes 4 to 1
Do you need to install Reinforcing Fabric to all the joists and corners? We install fibreglass on top of the bond breaker to all of our joist and corner as that’s how we did it 10-15 years ago. I watched many videos people don’t tape joist and corner with Reinforcing Fabric/fibreglass anymore. will there be any harm If we choose to stick Reinforcing Fabric or fibreglass to all the joist and corner?
Depends on the waterproofing you use, now days they don't recommend to use it incase it tears. There is other types of bandage that you can use for example gripset elastoproof or similar but see what the manufacturer of the brand you are using recommends. I use k10 plus by davco I just put neutral cure silicon to all internal corners then waterproof on-top of it and I have never had a failure. I have had a few clients who are worried bugs, thats when I add in the bandage with the rubber in the middle for there peice of mind.
@@Jaxtiling1 I'm also using k10 plus by Davco. 15-20 years ago we used dampfix (when there wasn't k10 plus) and it required fibreglass bandage. That's why I' have been using fibreglass in our corners. But I watched Davco and your videos doesn't use fibreglass bandage made me worry if I do more harm than good by adding fibreglass. I tried elastic bandage by Gribset but Im not familiar with it so I want back to fibreglass. I never have a problem with the fibreglass also hence I'm worrying not having it.
@@Jaxtiling1 from what I understand… By adding fibreglass and expansion rod it is classified as ‘class I or class ll’ waterproofing. And by using sealant without and bandages it considered as ‘class lll’ which is has more flexibility. But I been worried about not having fibreglass in the corners. But I will try the method in your video thanks to your expectations
Hahahaha that's what I used to use as well dampfix, the good old days. If you use fibreglass or that bandage one of the reps told me they walont warranty the products if something happened. If you do get movement because fibreglass isn't flexible it can just tear that's why they don't recommend it anymore. I still use it to cover big holes.
Don't be worried I have been doing it for 15 to 20 years and it's never failed just apply the 2 coats over it fairly thick
Did you use a primer under the screed or just the slurry?
No primer just a slurry
Thanks made it simple
Your very welcome 🙏
Hey mate, love your videos. Clear explanation. Why do you silicone after priming and not before?
Thank you very much. You can do either way shouldn't really matter. But if you prime first the silicone should bond better, primer bites into the wall and and helps bind any dust giving the silicone a better adhesion
That's a brilliant idea mate! Do you clean it out after every use or can you just cap it for use later?
Thank you 🙏 you need to clean it out after every use so it works properly and not leak from were the back cap is, eventually it wears out and you just use another one
Big gap between vids but very informative thanks bro!
Thank you very much 🙏
What system do you use?
I have a video on that on my channel, how to waterproof a bathroom
Nice presentation! Fair play!
Thank you very much 🙏
Very nice work!👍
Thank you very much 😊🙏
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
He didn’t mention anything about space between pieces? Eg a wood parquet doesn’t have spaces. If you add spaces then it’s obvs you’d need to accommodate that too
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
no puddle flange?
Yes puddle plange rebated into the substrate
