Licensed Waterproofing Contractors Northern Suburbs Melbourne & Mitchell Shire
A tiled surface is only as good as what’s sitting underneath it. We carry out waterproofing of domestic wet areas before any tiles go down, covering bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and outdoor areas across the Northern Suburbs and the Hume corridor towns.
Our waterproofing is completed in accordance with AS3740, the Australian Standard for wet area membranes, and integrated with our tiling work from the start. We pay close attention to corners, wall-to-floor junctions, penetrations and other vulnerable points where moisture can get behind the finished surface. By coordinating the waterproofing, substrate preparation and tiling as one job, we can make sure each stage is ready before the next begins.
Here’s why homeowners across the Northern Suburbs choose us as their waterproofing contractors and tilers:
- 20+ Years Tiling Experience: Waterproofing and tiling handled by the same experienced tradesperson, from wet areas to outdoor spaces.
- Affordable Rates: Clear, upfront quotes with no hidden extras added once the job starts.
- On Time & Reliable: We turn up when we say we will, so your bathroom or laundry isn’t out of action longer than it needs to be.

Waterproofing Services Northern Suburbs Melbourne & Mitchell Shire
Bathroom Waterproofing
Bathroom waterproofing covers the shower recess, hobs and any surface prone to water exposure before tiles are installed. We waterproof according to Australian standards, so showers, vanities and floors stay watertight for the long term.
Laundry Waterproofing
Laundries deal with constant water exposure from washing machines and floor drains, so the membrane needs to handle standing water as well as splashing. We waterproof the full floor area and skirting before tiling to keep water contained where it belongs.
Kitchen Waterproofing
Kitchen waterproofing focuses on the areas around sinks, dishwashers and splashbacks where leaks are most likely to start. It’s a smaller job than a bathroom but just as important for protecting the cabinetry and flooring underneath.
Balcony Waterproofing
Balconies take the full brunt of Melbourne’s weather, so the membrane has to handle rain, drainage falls and UV exposure all at once. We waterproof the deck before tiling to stop water tracking back into the building below.
Patio Waterproofing
Patios need waterproofing wherever they sit above a garage, alfresco area or living space underneath. We build in the right falls and membrane coverage so water drains away instead of pooling on the surface.
Pool Surrounds Waterproofing
Pool surrounds are exposed to constant splash out and chlorinated water, which puts extra pressure on the membrane over time. We waterproof the surrounding area before tiling so the coping and paving hold up to daily use.

Poor waterproofing can cause damage long before you see the leak.
Water that gets past an unwaterproofed or poorly waterproofed floor doesn’t stop at the tiles. It works into the subfloor, timber framing and plasterboard, where it causes rot, mould and structural damage that costs far more to fix than the waterproofing would have in the first place. By the time a leak shows up on the ceiling below, the damage has usually been building for months.

6 Benefits of Professional Waterproofing
No Water Damage
Water finds every gap a rushed job misses. A professional install seals corners, penetrations and floor wastes correctly, so water stays out of your subfloor, framing and the rooms below instead of causing rot or structural damage down the track.
Healthier Home
Trapped moisture behind tiles is one of the main causes of mould in bathrooms and laundries. A professional applies the membrane to every junction and penetration, stopping moisture reaching timber and plasterboard from the start.
Longer Lasting Tiles
Tiles and grout hold up far longer when the waterproofing underneath is installed correctly the first time. That means fewer cracked tiles, less regrouting, and no repeat callouts a few years down the track.
Protected Subfloor
Getting the falls, membrane thickness and overlaps right protects your subfloor and structural timber from the moisture that causes framing repairs. A professional job gets these details right the first time, so you’re not paying for it twice.
Added Home Value
Waterproofing installed to AS3740 by a licensed professional gives buyers and building inspectors real confidence at resale. It’s the difference between passing inspection and facing costly rework before a sale can go through.
Peace of Mind
Professional waterproofing is backed by trade experience and done right the first time. That’s one less thing to worry about every time water hits the floor.

Waterproofing FAQs
What areas can you waterproof?
Our licence enables us to waterproof any area that will be tiled over, including bathroom tiling, laundries, kitchens, balconies, patios and pathways. This covers both residential waterproofing and commercial waterproofing where tiling is the final finish.
If you’re planning a wet area renovation and aren’t sure whether waterproofing is required, call us on (03) 9125 4500 and we can talk you through what your project needs.
How long does waterproofing last before it needs replacing?
Waterproofing membranes are built to last as long as the tiled surface above them, so in most cases they don’t need replacing unless the tiles are removed or the membrane is damaged during other work. The main risk to waterproofing over time is physical disturbance, such as drilling into a wall or floor without knowing where the membrane sits.
Do I need council approval for bathroom or wet area waterproofing?
Waterproofing itself doesn’t usually need council approval, as it’s part of standard bathroom, laundry or wet area renovation work rather than a structural change. Council approval becomes relevant if the renovation involves moving plumbing, altering structural walls, or changing the building’s footprint.
If you’re unsure whether your renovation needs approval, call us on (03) 9125 4500 and we can point you in the right direction before work starts.
What affects the cost of waterproofing?
The cost of water proofing depends on the size of the wet area, how many surfaces need covering, and whether it’s an interior area like a bathroom or an exterior area like a balcony that needs to handle more weather exposure. Access and any prep work needed beforehand can also affect price.
We complete waterproofing only as part of a broader tiling project rather than as a standalone service. Where it is required, the waterproofing will be included in your overall tiling quote so you receive one clear price for the complete job.
Call us on (03) 9125 4500 for a free quote based on your specific space.
How soon can tiles be installed after waterproofing?
Tiles can go down once the waterproofing membrane has fully cured, which depends on the product used and the conditions on site. Rushing this step is one of the most common causes of waterproofing failure, so we follow the manufacturer’s curing times before tiling begins.
On average, tiles can usually be laid around 24 hours after the final waterproofing coat, although some fast-curing membranes may be ready sooner and cooler or humid conditions can extend the wait. We follow the curing time specified for the membrane being used rather than rushing the next stage, as tiling too early can compromise the waterproofing system.
Do you waterproof outdoor areas like balconies and patios before tiling?
Yes, we waterproof balconies, patios and pool surrounds where required as part of the tiling project. Outdoor areas face rain, temperature changes and ongoing weather exposure, so the membrane, surface preparation and drainage need to work together beneath the finished tiles.
We check the substrate, falls, edges, penetrations and wall-to-floor junctions before applying the waterproofing system. Once it has cured, we install tiles and materials suited to exterior conditions, helping water drain away rather than collect beneath or around the tiled surface.
