The Palace Shower-Tight Tanking Kit is a complete waterproofing solution designed to safeguard tiled areas that are frequently exposed to water. Whether you're working on a shower enclosure, bathroom, wet room, or kitchen utility space, this system ensures that moisture stays where it belongs—on the surface.
This multi-component kit includes everything needed to create a durable, seamless waterproof barrier: a surface primer to prepare the substrate, a flexible grey waterproof coating, and super-strong polyester matting to reinforce critical junctions such as wall-to-floor edges and internal corners. Together, these components create a tough, protective membrane that prevents moisture from seeping into underlying structures.
Ideal for use on water-sensitive surfaces, the Shower-Tight system is an essential step before tiling in wet areas. It’s particularly effective in preventing penetrating damp and long-term water damage, helping to preserve the integrity of your walls and floors.
