Hi. Our roof is leaking and water is coming in from above the kitchen. The house is less than 4 years old. Contractor has obviously done shoddy work and we knew it only after moving here. Now how do I fix this? Relaying the entire roof seems too costly.
What can be done? Do you think sheet metal roofing above the terrace is a good idea? What will be the cost? We are not in a financially good place now due to recurring hospital bills.

Is the water coming from above apartment.or terrace above ?
Contact Asian paints they have many solutions for roof waterproofing. They will send a person for the inspection of leak and he will suggest the best option with quotation, this service is free of cost. Another one is Dr Fixit waterproofing solutions.
If possible, post the photo of the cracks to get better idea. We had similar problem a few months ago ( there were small cracks ), we used what @Sudarshan61 suggested and it worked fine. About 6 months no issues. But I don’t think it is a permanent solution so we might need to repeat it. With small cracks M-Seal should also work as @saucap suggested 
Use umbrella
We have used this kind of sheet in our home
https://www.amazon.in/dp/B09K49PDPR/ref=cm_sw_r...
It is applied using heat.
Don’t actually remember the material used but is similar to the above sheet and it solved seapage problem
Size of roof and is it leaking from many places or from particular area ? I can suggest you cheap solutions @ G-Gowda
Roof size is 35*50.
Leaking above kitchen and utility area and wetness in connected bathroom next to it. A pool forms above the hall as well in the middle.
Also wetness noticed a little bit in corners in opposite side of the home rooms.
Use Asian paints repair polymer with black cement ( No water). Coat edges especially And fill cracks also.Do this just before the start of rainy season.
This wil solve ur problem recently used for same purpose water leakage from tiles
Purchase tiles from morbi …
Purchasing cost will be 1/4
Go for Dr Fixit Waterproofing solutions.
Here are some of the methods
1.Bitumen Waterproofing
2.White Cement will also work if Cracks are Visible.(Preferable Birla White Cement)
3.Cheapest option will be Sinpaulin Tarpaulins.
Going by the image, one quick fix is, buy 1kg of black cement and 200ml of Dr. Fixit URP. Mix water with cement plus one cap of Dr. Fixit URP per 50g of cement. Make a thin consistency. Pour it on the spot near and around the outlet pipe.
Black cement is different from normal gray cement?
