Shower Plug is a heavy-duty, clear brush-on solution using breakthrough sealant technology that waterproofs tiles and grout in showers. It penetrates the substrate and chemically bonds with it, to form an invisible water-repellant barrier that lasts 10 years. Shower Plug is a penetrant - its protection cannot be worn away under normal use as may happen with waterproofers that merely seal the surface like a film. Ideal for 'do-it-yourself' applications and tradesmen Fixes leaking showers without removing tiles Simply brushes on over tiles and grout A unique, clear silicone impregnant that soaks into tiles and grout, making them waterproof within 18 hours Prevents mould, making showers easier to clean Suitable for all tiles (ceramic, marble, slate and terracotta) Will not discolour tiles or make them slippery Appraised by eminent bodies (CSIRO, UNSW, VICUT)
Why Showers LeakTiles and grout are not always waterproof. Failure of the underlying membrane - the Building Code requires showers to be lined with a waterproof membrane under the tiles. A tiny puncture or tear can allow water to seep in, leading to structural damage.
Symptoms of a Leaking ShowerRotting floorboards, skirting and door jambs Peeling and flaking paint in adjacent rooms and on the ceiling below Damp in carpets, wardrobes and clothes in adjacent rooms, encouraging mould, silverfish and cockroaches Water in wiring and light fittings in the room below
ApplicationFix any broken grout with regular superfine grout. Allow to dry for 24 hours. Brush Shower Plug onto the shower walls, wait 18 hours and the shower will be ready for use. If the building is prone to movement, it is advisable to apply a silicone strip between the wall and floor joint after applying Shower Plug.
