i need to do water proofing for my toilet.

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

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

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

I was quoted to hack the whole floor to repair. Betul ke?

Does it look like pipe leaking or flooring problem ?

Tered updated.

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.

Clear?

Ya. Clear type. After sapu won’t see anything

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

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.

Any pics?

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 .

Silica sand will make less slippery
