i need to do water proofing for my toilet.

Would want to gather some idea how can I DIY it and estimate a budget.

Water proofing expert welcome to give some advise. terima kasih.

Update:

Photo taken by unit below. Pipe leaking or floor?






Update 2:

Base on /k suggestion, I try to source for sika. At the end, the seller recommend me this.



Solvent based. I sudah sapu the grout on floor and wall. Going to observe the result.

no hacking can not solve.

I used Sika 107 for my toilet waterproofing.
At least 2 coats. 3 coats will be better.
Apply the waterproofing to around 3 ft from the floor.
Shower area apply to 6 ft from the floor.

normally will apply bitumen to floor+1' up the walls b4 tiling

Was recommended to do epoxy coating as a cheapest and no hacking solution previously. You may explore it

so.....you plan to hack all the tiles.

then water proof

then cement

then tile back up?

then have a place to discard all the broken tiles

normal office workers dont have the endurance nor strength to do hard labor work.

good luck.

I used epoxy + glass flake combo.
Very easy to diy.
You have choice to maintain color of your existing floor tile by using clear epoxy.
Or change the color completely to your choice.
Did the coating for 3 layers and still good until now for more than 8 years already.
Spent around 1K total for 2 bathrooms (decent size bathroom)
Another pro is that it took total around 48 hours to fully cured for the whole 3 coatings.

Thanks. will explore this method.

this would be the last option to consider. Epoxy method sound good. gonna explore that

Epoxy is ok only if its leaking thru the tiles.
If other leak root cause (from pipe in wall) it will not resolve the issue.

this method just buy epoxy and paint it over ur tiles?

sendiri buat ka? glass flake? wow. high specs.

To do it nicely, better to hire someone familiar doing it or has done it or has seen it done by professional before to learn their tricks of doing it.
But for a nstural handyman, a youtube learning can also help to build confidence for DIY project.
Not realy high specs, a standard specs I suppose in order to create anti slip feel of the surface. The flakes will make the texture a bit rougher once you spread over the epoxy after 2 layer.
3rd layer is just to make the glass flake covered properly.

Can give example photos of glass epoxy?

If nice I also want to do it

Sorry for asking, but what do these things do?

prevent leaking. most given suggestions are prevent leaking from floor.

So that the water from your bathroom usage wouldn't leak to lower floor.

Glass flakes are sold separately.
You can buy from lazada or shoppee.
I bought from AE Multicoat (company).
The flake is spread over the epoxy coating while curing and evenly spread using brush to ensure smooth spread.
Dont hesitate to use generously as the texture is really worth it.
I do not have picture of it since it was 8 years back.
Anyway, try google it and you will find some good examples.
