01
Wet zone
Shower and WC, sloped 1:80, tanked before tiling and glazed off — R10 tile only, concealed cistern behind.
Bathrooms
Waterproofing first.
Beauty second.
A bathroom is the only room designed to get soaked. Almost every one that fails, fails underneath — a membrane skipped, a fall that doesn't drain, cement grout going black in year two. We build from the slab up.
The ruleTwo zones, kept apart.
Two zones, kept apart.
Everything follows from it.
Every bathroom we build separates the water from everything else — the shower and WC sloped and glazed off, the vanity and storage kept dry. It's the single decision that determines whether the room is pleasant at 7am.

A bathroom is the only room built to get soaked, and nearly every one that fails, fails underneath. These are the six things we settle from the slab up — five of them buried before the first tile goes on.

we can still reach.
01
Access panel
Concealed valves stay reachable
The cistern and diverter valves sit behind a panel that lifts out, so a repair years on doesn't mean breaking tile to reach a cartridge.
02
Niche & ledge
Formed, tanked and drained
The shower niche is built into the wall, waterproofed and given its own tiny fall, so it holds bottles and drains instead of a caddy hung off the mixer.
03
Hot water
Geyser sized to the run
The heater is sized and sited for the distance to the shower, with pipe diameters that hold pressure when a tap elsewhere opens at the same time.
04
Traps & odour
Deep seals on every drain
Floor and basin drains get deep-seal traps, so the room never breathes sewer gas back up when a bathroom on another floor flushes.
05
Wet-zone lip
Water kept where it belongs
A low tanked lip and a flush threshold at the door keep the wash-down inside the wet zone, so nothing creeps out onto the passage floor.
06
Concealed pipe runs
Pressure-tested before tiling
Supply lines are chased in, pressure-tested and left to hold overnight before a tile goes on — a weeping joint is found on day one, not through the ceiling below.
Two zones, one roomWhere the water is,
Where the water is,
and where it isn't.
02
Dry zone
Vanity and storage kept out of the splash — an 800mm counter, a face-lit mirror and a marine-ply cabinet.
03
Storage
Towels and daily kit in ventilated open shelving that stays dry and doesn't warp in the steam.
In motion
The bathroom that fails
fails where you can't see.
Nobody photographs a tanking membrane, and it's the thing that decides everything. The waterproofing cures on its own schedule, which cannot be rushed — so we build it in, let it set, and only then start making the room look good.
The wet zoneWater goes to the drain,
Water goes to the drain,
nowhere else.
A shower that doesn't drain properly is a leak on a timer. We slope the floor to the drain, tank the whole zone before tiling, and glaze it off so the rest of the room stays genuinely dry.
- 1:80 fall to the drain, measured not guessed
- Full tanking membrane before any tile
- R10+ anti-slip floor, R11 in the shower
- Concealed cistern, glazed screen to zone it off

a Bangalore monsoon.
The vanity is the one cabinet built to live in steam, and it's the first thing that fails when someone cheaps out on the core. Marine ply, soft-close, and a mirror that lights your face instead of the ceiling.

Questions
Asked often
Sometimes — if the existing fall and drain positions work and the tanking is sound. Honestly, in most Bangalore flats over ten years old, it isn't, and a surface-only job just buries the problem. We'll tell you which one you've got after a look.
Ten to fourteen days for a full strip-out and rebuild, including curing time for the waterproofing — which cannot be rushed regardless of what anyone promises you.
In a shower, yes, without qualification. Cement grout is porous, absorbs soap and body oil, and goes black within about eighteen months in a humid bathroom. Epoxy costs a little more per square foot and looks the same in year five as in week one.
