Re-waterproofing existing bathrooms

  • Removal of failed membrane and finishes
  • Substrate assessment before re-application
  • Talk through what related work is needed

Re-tiling and other finishing work may be needed as a follow-on restoration step once waterproofing is complete. It is a related stage, not a standalone service we lead with.

Frequently asked questions

Bathroom waterproofing in Melbourne

What does a bathroom waterproofing enquiry cover?+

It's a conversation about the bathroom in question — what's leaking or failing, when it was last waterproofed, and what you want to achieve. The team reviews the details before suggesting a next step.

How long does bathroom waterproofing take?+

Timeframes depend on the size of the bathroom, the condition of the substrate and the membrane system used. We'll talk through a realistic timeframe once we understand your specific bathroom.

Do you handle re-tiling as well?+

Re-tiling can be needed as a follow-on restoration stage after waterproofing. We focus the conversation on bathroom waterproofing first, and only discuss tiling where it's required to complete the waterproofing work.

Which areas of Melbourne do you take enquiries from?+

We take bathroom waterproofing enquiries from suburbs across Greater Melbourne — including the CBD, inner east, south-east and bayside areas.

Can enquiries be discussed in a language other than English?+

Yes — bathroom waterproofing enquiries can be discussed in English, Mandarin or Cantonese.

Tiling and finishing may be required after waterproofing, but bathroom waterproofing remains the primary service offered on this site.
