Mapei Wet Room Tanking Kit

A complete, professional-grade waterproofing system for wet rooms, shower areas, and bathrooms.

Built around Mapegum WPS — a ready-to-use, single-component flexible membrane — the kit includes everything needed to fully waterproof a floor and wall junction before tiling: membrane, jointing tape, internal corners, a waste outlet gasket, and a pipe inlet kit.

Applied by trowel, roller, or spray, Mapegum WPS forms a flexible, anti-fracture barrier that accommodates minor substrate movement without cracking, and can be used over plasterboard, gypsum or cementitious render, lightweight cement block, and marine plywood.

With a recoat window of just 1–2 hours and a full dry time of 5 hours at standard conditions, the system keeps the job moving without extended waits between trades.

Key Features

• Complete tanking system — membrane, tape, corners, waste gasket, and pipe inlet kit all included, removing the need to source components separately
• Flexible, anti-fracture membrane — Mapegum WPS accommodates minor substrate movement, reducing the risk of cracked tiles or failed waterproofing over time
• Fast recoat time — 1–2 hours between coats keeps the installation process moving and minimises downtime on site
• Tiling can begin within 12–24 hours — short wait time before laying ceramic allows the project to progress efficiently
• Full cure in 5 hours — at 23°C and 2mm thickness, the membrane reaches complete dryness quickly under standard conditions
• Ready to use — single-component, solvent-free formula requires no mixing and is safe to handle in enclosed bathroom spaces

• Multiple application methods — can be applied by trowel, roller, or spray to suit installer preference and site conditions
• Waste and pipe penetrations covered — dedicated gasket and pipe inlet kit ensure vulnerable points around the drain and pipework are properly sealed within the same system
• Internal corners included — pre-formed Mapeband corners ensure consistent, reliable waterproofing at wall-to-wall junctions where failures most commonly occur
