ROOF TILE WATERPROOFING COATINGS
Roof Tile Restoration
are able to repair and waterproof all kinds of roof tiles of various materials regardless of age. Our roof tile restoration method for a broken roof tile involves a 3 coating system that comes in various vibrant colours. A high quality durable and flexible acrylic waterproofing system ensures years of protection against harsh weathers and water leakages, insulating against deterioration occurring due to carbonation, acid or chemical attack. Without effective waterproofing, roof tiles are susceptible to water damages, which may further lead to more costly structural damage if neglected.
Why Is It Important To Get Your Cracked or Broken Roof Tile Repaired?
Indeed, getting a cracked roof tile repaired can be costly and troublesome. However, ignoring a broken roof tile can lead to structural damages which will affect the structural integrity of your roof. Therefore, it is crucial to engage a professional to perform a roof tile repair work or roof tile restoration work, which involves both repairing and performing a coating over your roof tiles. If your roof tiles are cracked, that could lead to water leakages in the home and that might introduce various hazardous outcomes. In conclusion, we recommend either attending the broken or cracked roof tile immediately or getting a reliable professional to access and solve the situation for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is roof tile waterproofing?
Roof tile waterproofing is the process of cleaning, repairing cracked tiles, and applying a multi-coat acrylic system over an existing tiled roof to seal hairline cracks and form a water-repellent barrier. Proseal Contracts uses a 3-coat acrylic system available in multiple colours, designed to protect tiles from carbonation, acid attack, chemical damage, and Singapore’s tropical rainfall.
Do tile roofs in Singapore need waterproofing coating?
Yes. Tile roofs in Singapore need waterproofing coating because tiles alone are not fully impermeable and develop hairline cracks under prolonged UV, heavy rainfall, and thermal expansion. Without a sealing coat, water seeps through joints into the underlay and ceiling. A flexible acrylic coating closes microcracks and is standard practice for landed homes and older condos.
How long does roof tile coating last?
A properly applied 3-coat acrylic roof tile system in Singapore typically lasts 7 to 10 years before recoating is needed, depending on UV exposure, slope, and surface preparation. Acrylic coatings degrade faster than polyurethane or cementitious systems used on RC flat roofs, so tile roofs usually need a recoating cycle every 8 to 10 years on average.
What's the difference between roof tile restoration and waterproofing?
Roof tile restoration is a broader service that includes replacing or repairing broken and cracked tiles, then applying a waterproof coating over the surface. Roof tile waterproofing alone refers only to the coating step (a 3-coat acrylic system in selected colours), without tile replacement. Proseal Contracts handles both as a combined service for damaged or aged tiled roofs.
What causes roof tile leaks in Singapore?
Roof tile leaks in Singapore are caused by hairline cracks from thermal expansion, dislodged or missing tiles after heavy storms, degraded grouting between tile joints, blocked underlay drainage, and corroded flashing around chimneys or vents. Carbonation and acid rain weaken tile surfaces over time. Most leaks appear after tiles have been exposed for 8 to 10 years without recoating.
How is roof tile waterproofing applied?
Roof tile waterproofing is applied in five stages: high-pressure cleaning to remove dirt and moss, repair or replacement of cracked tiles, primer coat to improve adhesion, two finish coats of flexible acrylic membrane in the chosen colour, and a final inspection. Proseal Contracts uses a 3-coat acrylic system designed for Singapore’s tropical heat, UV, and heavy rainfall.
