Hi guys, updated with photos taken by my unit below.

Does it look like pipe leaking or flooring problem ?

Bought a solvent based sealer to sapu all the grout on wall and floor. Going to observe the result.

Price : rm40 for 1/2 liter.

Instruction:

dry floor. Consider to use hair dryer to heat up the floor.
Sapu 1st layer.
Another 1 hour +, sapu another layer.
Leave it for 5-6 hours or overnight.

Just don't wash it with harsh chems/gosok to hard after this. Probably won't last as long as epoxy

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.

May I ask what brand you used?

2 weeks ago i bought 5L Nippon e4 epoxy paint , tile primer , roller brush, paint pan , silica sand . total cost 306 RM . shopee seller.
DIY my 3 toilet . and kitchen table top and back wash area.
Am pleased with the result .

easy to clean the toilet now. just fast mop dry thumbsup.gif
new clean bright look .

is a better cheaper solution for water proof your toilet and will last 10 year or more compared to hacking.
highly recommend way to waterproof your toilet water leak issues due to old age or poor built.

guys, my toilet hv same issue. leaking in some area and causing my below unit neighbor to bising2 due to water leaking.
i suspect the leaking due to old ages, the tiles at the edge of the corner got some free gaps, which cause the water leak thru there. and also my toilet floor is not totally flat. got some area which cause water to flood lil bit.

using epoxy flakes for toilet, should solve this issue ?

It will solve the water leakage but probably not the water ponding issue.

ys am certain epoxy coat will solve your water leak problem .

the epoxy coat is heavy duty and waterproof and will seal all small gaps .
in short you are building a layer of epoxy over the surface .

i not sure how to solve your flat/level issue .
but i will try this
mark that area out and apply a thicker layer of epoxy over it.

you need at least 2 coats .
allow first coat to dry/cure in 24 hours before recoat.

i have been using my toilet for a week . ( after 1st coat/ was busy to do the 2nd coat, plus i want the coat to cure longer) seems OK .
i did not feel the slip. taking normal short steps around.
maybe my feet bottom is like sandpaper nod.gif

since i did buy the silica sand .. i did it with the second/last coat.

flakes too will make it non slip .

thanks. i also thinking the say way. mybe thicker layer will solve floor level not flat and water ponding issue. just need careful to make sure the floor is slight curve to the water hole, so the water easily drain.
then need to ask those epoxy guys if they hv done this before. cant do it myself because got tenant.

Silica sand for what ya bro? The Nippon epoxy just paint over the tiles? Is it clear paint? But as I understand, hacking and waterproofing will last even longer, provided the contractor does it the right way and not skimping here and there. lol. Usually waterproofing on concrete slab can last more than 20 years, i suppose. lol. laugh.gif
