How to repair a leaking roof with WATERSTOP Emergency
Need to repair a leaking roof but don’t want the cost of a full roof replacement? Look no further than WATERSTOP Emergency, a waterproof roof coating that creates a quick and effective roof repair, even in wet weather.
This step-by-step guide shows you how to use our roof repair paint to stop leaks and seal gutters to keep your home exterior watertight during the wetter months!
Why use a waterproof roof coating?
Your flat roof and gutter systems are exposed to rain, frost, UV and movement - over time small cracks or leaks can develop. A waterproof roof coating like WATERSTOP Emergency provides a flexible, waterproof barrier that adapts to temperature changes and movement, reducing risk of damp, overflowing or structural damage.
Key benefits
- Instantly waterproof - works on wet or dry surfaces, even if it’s raining.
- No primer required - you can apply directly to felt, tiles, metal, uPVC, concrete, wood or most plastics.
- Weather-resistant and flexible - resists UV, frost and temperature changes, and won't crack as surfaces expand and contract.
- Quick and easy application - brushable roof repair paint, apply straight from the tin.
Due to its flexibility and instant waterproofing, WATERSTOP Emergency is ideal for gutters, flat roofs, and other external joints.
Step-by-step: How to fix a roof leak with roof repair paint
Whether your roof or gutter system is made from felt, tiles, aluminium, metal, uPVC or more, you can easily fix a roof leak or gutter leak in just a few steps with WATERSTOP Emergency.
Instructions
When and where is WATERSTOP useful?
- If the leak or crack is unexpected, and you need a quick fix - WATERSTOP Emergency works in the rain or damp conditions.
- On felt, tiles, metal or uPVC gutters, concrete or masonry surfaces around gutter ends, downpipes or flashing - the coating bonds directly to these substrates without primer.
- When gutters or roof joints may expand and contract due to temperature changes - the flexible coating resists cracking and remains watertight.
- For a more durable, weatherproof finish than a basic sealant - especially for larger areas, seams, or multiple cracks.
Let's sum up!
If you notice leaks, cracks, or seams failing in your flat roof or guttering, using WATERSTOP Emergency waterproof coating gives you quick, flexible, and long-lasting waterproof protection:
- Suitable for a wide range of materials
- Can be applied in damp or rainy conditions
- Durable finish that resists weather, temperature changes and movement
Remember to clean the roof or gutter area thoroughly, brush on two coats of the roof repair paint and allow it to dry - you'll have a watertight seal that will protect your home long-term.
