Bathroom and shower wet-area work
The service covers bathroom and shower wet areas. Project photos show preparation, membrane application, tiling and completed finishes, while a site visit helps determine what a particular bathroom needs.
Start with what you can see
Tell us which bathroom or shower is affected and what you have noticed there.
Existing conditions shape the work
Access, substrate, the likely leak source and any related restoration work affect the next step.
Other trades may be involved
Some plumbing, tiling or structural issues need a separate trade to inspect or complete part of the work.
How we approach bathroom waterproofing work
We start with the issue you have noticed, check the site conditions and discuss the most suitable next step.
- 1
Describe the issue
Share what you have noticed and where in the bathroom or shower it appears.
- 2
Share useful photos
Photos of the affected area and surrounding surfaces show the current condition.
- 3
Discuss scope and site conditions
Talk through access, substrate and any related work already done.
- 4
Agree on the next step
Decide whether the bathroom needs a site visit, further assessment or another trade.
What helps us understand the job
The more of the following you can share up front, the more useful the initial conversation tends to be. Nothing here is mandatory — send what is easy to describe.
- Suburb and property type (house, apartment, townhouse).
- Which bathroom, shower or wet area is affected.
- Visible water marks, movement, damaged grout or other symptoms.
- When the issue was first noticed and whether it comes and goes.
- Any recent plumbing, tiling or renovation work in the area.
- Clear photos of the affected area and surrounding surfaces.

When other trades may be needed
Not every bathroom leak proves membrane failure. Plumbing fixtures, worn seals, damaged grout, structural movement or surrounding construction can all produce similar symptoms. Re-tiling and other restoration work may follow waterproofing, while plumbing or structural concerns may need a separate trade. We discuss those needs before the work is agreed.
For more on the factors that shape scope and cost, see the bathroom waterproofing cost guide or the bathroom waterproofing services.
