How to Repair a Leaking Resin Tile

If you have a synthetic Mexican tile roof or PVC corrugated plastic sheets, you may encounter a leaking resin tile at some point. It’s important to repair the leak as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your roof. Here are some general steps to repair a leaking resin tile.

Firstly, identify the exact location of the leak. This may require you to inspect the roof from both the inside and outside. Once you have found the leak, use a saw to cut the leaking part 2-3 cm deep. This will allow you to clean the area thoroughly and prepare it for repair.

After cleaning the area, you can use asphalt to repair the leak. Apply the asphalt generously to cover the cut area and create a waterproof seal. There are also finished asphalt coatings available on the market, which can make the repair process even easier.

It’s important to note that the weather can affect the repair process. It’s best to carry out the repair when the weather is clear and dry. This will ensure that the asphalt properly adheres to the resin tile and forms a strong, waterproof seal.

By following these general steps, you can effectively repair a leaking resin tile on your synthetic Mexican tile roof or PVC corrugated plastic sheets. Taking prompt action to repair the leak will help to prevent further damage and prolong the life of your roof.
