The proper way is to do the below;

1) Solid waterproof membrane across all and up the wall edge (or you can a shower base)
2) Liquid waterproof membrane to seal the wall before cementing tiles/grout
3) PU waterproof sealant to seal joints and so on, Sika is pretty good for this

For bathroom waterproofing in condos, is it really necessary to do a water ponding test and to go below (neighbour's place) to ask whether he has any damp spots on his ceiling? Is this standard procedure?

after see this am motivated to restore all my baths . as they look dull now.

just to clarify
1. filler is to patch up the holes ,,..etc..

then clean up the bath surfaces

2. Apply nippon tile primer . 1 coat

3. Apply nippon EA4 / choice of color . 2 to 3 coats .

done.

is this the correct process. ?

Any thing else i miss or can add for better finish ?

Any advise from the experts.. open to hear your experiences.. .
thanks

correct, but becareful... epoxy paint got toxic fumes during painting.. wear respiratory mask & have a good airflow. toilet is a small space with bad airflow

in this case, i add fan during painting.... got sick last time with seamaster epoxy paint (rm150 5L, 1L hardener)



last time using seamaster epoxy with special roller for epoxy, this time forgot to buy special roller for epoxy... finishing not so smooth

About the final epoxy finish .. will it be slippery with this when the floor is wet.
TQ.

Two methods as other have said,

1st menthod well documented here; is to paint epoxy on the floor/walls

2nd is hacking. We found out our toilets in 2nd floor were leaking. Went with hacking. Cost like 3k+
Had to drive to Melaka for the tiles as the old ones were shattered in the process.

We did this because we really dislike the look/feel of epoxy especially in the bathroom. Feels like a hospital and kinda too slippery. The tiles we choose have a rough surface.

No budget, go diy. But there's probably clear epoxy if you want to preserve the look of your old tiles, just the surface will be different though

Keep on sharing all your results and steps guys! Inspired but definitely will hire ppl to do it

kinda slippery for the 1st time

wow so nice. my toilet also leaking. got water stain at house below.( apartment)
ask contractor. he said should be floor since the pipe is not under the floor.
and the hole for water trap is higher than floor.( so might need hack the floor so its will be lower nicely) so water get stuck. endup floor leaking and water go under.

solution; need hack the tiles and put waterproofing and tiles it again.

can i use this epoxy as well? because when i ask them to use epoxy, he said will not last longer also.

Good thread.
Contractor charging me Rm600+ per toilet. Will ask him what kind of water proofing he is doing

Keep us update on this. 👍🏻

educational thread. need saved button

This one looks like what I had 8 years ago.
In terms of brand, probably different.
But the mix and flakes are typical.
Like I mentioned before, still good condition after 8 years (in my case)

dunno, never have any experience with flake..

got quotation 1k from fb to paint 1toilet like this.... epoxy flake coating, thats why i'm learn from youtube and DIY
