Bathroom Waterproofing in Sydney
The room is stripped, the rough-in is sitting in the wall, and what goes on next is the only thing standing between a shower upstairs and a stain on the ceiling downstairs.

Questions and answers
Bubbling paint or a brown ring on the ceiling underneath, or a skirting board on the far side of the wall that stays damp, is usually the first sign. By then the membrane has failed at a junction. Call us and we will check it, or see Leaking Showers.
Not usually. Once the old tiles come off, the old membrane is damaged or of unknown quality, so the new bathroom gets a new membrane over a prepared substrate. Patching over it would be spending your money twice, and we will say so before you commit.
A true membrane cannot go under tiles that are still on the wall. Sealers applied over tiles and grout seal the surface, which is what a shower reseal does, and they only help while the membrane underneath is sound.
For us it is licensed work, carried out under licence and flood-tested, because a failed membrane can mean redoing the whole bathroom. It is not a good job to learn on.
That depends on the membrane system, the weather and the flood test. You get the timing in writing, and we tell your tiler the day the bathroom is ready.
Yes. Laundries and other wet areas are waterproofed as part of a renovation, detailed around their floor wastes and tubs.
