Shield Waterproofing recently completed a specialist structural repair project in Bath, using Fosroc Nitokit LV, a low-viscosity, two-part epoxy crack injection system designed for high-performance repairs in concrete and masonry.
This advanced system is ideal for restoring structural integrity in damaged substrates, while also preventing the ingress of water and air—two key factors that can lead to long-term deterioration and reinforcement corrosion.
Supporting Structures Across Bath and the South West
As a historic city, Bath features a wide range of building types—from traditional stone properties to more modern concrete structures. Each presents its own challenges when it comes to structural movement, cracking, and moisture ingress.
Our team regularly carries out specialist repair and waterproofing works in Bath and the surrounding South West, providing tailored solutions that respect the structure while delivering long-term protection.
Whether working in plant rooms, basements, or structural concrete elements, we ensure every repair is carried out to the highest standard using proven systems and materials.
Why Use Epoxy Crack Injection?
Cracks in concrete and masonry are more than just cosmetic issues. Even fine cracks can allow moisture and oxygen to penetrate, accelerating internal damage and weakening the structure over time.
Using professional resin injection systems like Nitokit LV provides a highly effective solution because it:
- Bonds cracked sections back together structurally
- Prevents water ingress and damp-related issues
- Stops air penetration that can lead to corrosion
- Extends the lifespan of the structure
This makes it a preferred method for both preventative maintenance and targeted structural repairs.
Ideal for Fine and Hairline Cracks
One of the key advantages of Fosroc Nitokit LV is its low viscosity, allowing it to penetrate extremely fine cracks that other systems cannot effectively treat.
- Surface crack width: from 0.2 mm
- Internal tapering: down to 0.01 mm
This ensures a deep, thorough repair, rather than just sealing the surface. The material flows into the smallest voids, fully bonding the structure from within.
The System Used: Fosroc Nitokit LV
Fosroc Nitokit LV is supplied in a patented single-cartridge format, which offers several practical benefits:
- Accurate mixing and application
- Reduced waste on site
- Faster installation times
- Consistent performance
This makes it particularly well suited to small-scale, high-precision repair works, including both in-situ and precast concrete structures.
Waterproofing the Plant Room
Following the crack injection works, our team completed the project by installing a new waterproof floor coating in the plant room and surrounding areas.
This provided:
- A fully sealed, water-resistant surface
- Enhanced durability in a high-use environment
- Long-term protection against moisture ingress
Combining concrete repairs with waterproofing ensures the area is not only fixed—but protected for the future.
Where This Solution Works Best
This type of repair system is particularly effective for:
- Plant rooms and service areas
- Basements and below-ground structures
- Concrete floors and walls
- Precast concrete elements
- Structures exposed to moisture or environmental stress
It’s an ideal solution where precision, durability, and long-term performance are essential, particularly as part of wider structural repair strategies.
