Tanking Kits

Tanking before tiling is an essential step in any bathroom renovation. Many homeowners overlook this crucial stage, but it's one that can make a significant difference in the longevity of your bathroom. Applying tanking products before tiling ensures that any moisture present doesn't damage your walls or subfloor. This step is particularly important for areas exposed to constant water, like shower enclosures and bath surrounds. At Rubberduck Bathrooms, our tanking kits are easy to apply and provide long-lasting protection, giving you peace of mind when you install new tiles.

Tiled Bathrooms Need Tanking!

Many people ask whether tiles bathrooms need tanking, and the answer is always yes. Tiling alone doesn’t provide complete waterproofing. Water can seep through grout lines and cracks over time, especially in high-moisture areas. Tanking ensures that even if water does pass through the tiles, it won’t cause damage to your walls or floors. To conform to the British Standards Institute (BSI) for BS 5385-1 tanking membrane must be used in all wetroom and all tiled shower enclosure and shower baths even if moisture resistant plasterboard is used.
