Outdoor Wall Waterproofing+Fixing ground gutter

Adam is a fantastic communicator and incredible efficient. He is punctual, true to his word and an expert at what he does. He’s also very trustworthy and honest. I had major leaking issues in my shower which affected the adjoining wall and he pulled back the tiles, removed all cement and waterproofed the area, added original tiles and grouted the area as well as waterproofing the walls of the shower with spray.

Top Waterproofing related questions

You may need someone with a specialist licence for certain types of tasks, as well as additional insurance. Please make sure that you confirm that a Tasker has the relevant licence to improve your property’s waterproofing system and insurance before accepting an offer. 

On average, a waterproofing job can take one to three days to dry. However, it also varies on the area’s foundation type, material, and waterproofing method. 

Consider these factors when selecting a waterproofing company or contractor: 

  • Look for a reputable and licensed professional with experience in waterproofing. 

  • Check for positive customer reviews, past projects, and evidence of quality workmanship. 

  • Ensure they use high-quality waterproofing materials and products. 

The best roof waterproofing method depends on roof type, climate, and budget. Options include bituminous membranes, liquid-applied membranes, and elastomeric coatings. Consult a professional contractor for expert advice tailored to your roof’s specific needs and on waterproofing products you can use to DIY leaks when you spot any wet wall areas.

Suggested reads about Waterproofing

What do waterproofing contractors offer?

Water issues can come from many sources. Areas like bathrooms that are commonly wet are the most prone, but you can also be a victim of water damage through burst pipes, leaky roofs or torrential rain. 

Waterproofing contractors and some local handymen offer professional services to protect your property from water damage. They specialise in waterproofing solutions, such as assessing vulnerabilities, applying waterproofing materials, conducting repairs, and ensuring a watertight seal. Trustworthy waterproofing contractors near you provide expertise to safeguard your home or building from potential water-related issues.

Bathroom waterproofing

Waterproofing contractors or bathroom tiling specialists can help seal your bathroom when building a new one or renovating your old space, as well as leaking showers. Bathroom waterproofers can waterproof your bathroom flooring and walls should you need to reseal your bathroom after its construction. 

Roof waterproofing

Waterproofing your roof is vital to keep your property’s or roofing membranes’ structural integrity intact. Roof waterproofing specialists identify areas prone to leaks, apply roof waterproofing membranes or coatings, repair existing damage, and ensure a watertight seal. Hiring a pro to waterproof your roof enhances roof durability and avoids water-related issues.

Wall waterproofing

A burst pipe, rising dampness or mould growth can cause problems in your home. Wall waterproofing is one of the steps to repair the damage on your interior walls or retaining walls and avoid the same case in the future. When looking for waterproofing near you, look for wall painting experts or local tradies experienced in wall waterproofing. They can come by, repair the damage and give your walls a fresh new look. 

Floor and tile waterproofing

A tiler can remove tiles, clean up your grout and set your new tiles. Their waterproofing service can come as an add-on cost. Ask your tile and floor waterproofers if they also do tile cleaning and sealing, so you can hire a professional that offers the services you require for a complete job. Consider concrete waterproofing contractors near you as well, as they can safeguard your driveways and footpaths.

Waterproofing, Leaking Ensuite Shower

$400

Wodonga VIC 3690, Australia

5th Oct 2026

Experienced Bathroom/Waterproofing Person Required – Leaking Ensuite Shower I’m looking for an experienced and reliable bathroom tradesperson to inspect and repair a leaking shower in the ensuite bathroom of the front bedroom. The shower has been leaking through the tiled area very slightly, and water has travelled through the wall into the adjoining area. (Very common) I’m looking to have the shower properly sealed and waterproofed at the tiled joints and affected areas to prevent the leak from continuing. The job involves: • Inspecting the shower tiles, grout lines, corners and joins to identify where water is getting through. • Checking the shower screen/base and all areas where water may be penetrating. • Removing any old, damaged or failed silicone where necessary. • Thoroughly cleaning and preparing the surfaces. • Applying high-quality bathroom-grade waterproof silicone/sealant to the appropriate joints, corners and penetrations. • Paying particular attention to the corners, floor-to-wall junctions and areas around the shower where water may be escaping. • Ensuring the shower is properly sealed and watertight when the work is completed. • Checking the completed work for any obvious areas where water could still penetrate. Important: Water has already leaked through the wall, so I’m looking for someone who has genuine experience dealing with leaking showers and bathroom waterproofing, rather than simply applying silicone over the existing surface. I would like the work done properly and neatly, with the goal of stopping the water from continuing to penetrate through the shower area. Access: Flexible by arrangement Please only apply if you have experience repairing/sealing leaking tiled showers. Cheers

Mount Druitt NSW 2770, Australia

Small Bathroom Repair – Hands-On Tradesperson Wanted I’m looking for an experienced handyman that has multi trade experience to do the whole work himself. Small 1st floor bathroom, approximately 2.2 metres long by 2.2 metres wide. The bathroom previously had a shower and toilet, but the old waterproofing failed and water leaked downstairs. I’ve already removed the old tiles and damaged material and cleaned the area, ready for you to redo it. The work includes: • Making the floor solid, stable and level using a suitable method. • Properly waterproofing the area to prevent further leaks. • Preparing and tiling the floor. • Reinstalling the shower glass and toilet. • Organising any necessary plumbing. The waterproofing and tiling must be done properly. It’s a small, fiddly job, suitable for someone who's happy to take on smaller projects and carry out most of the work themselves. Ideally, you’ll have all the multi skills am yourself. My preference is a hands-on tradesperson rather than a builder who mainly organises subcontractors and adds a management fee. Just a small project for a handy trades person. The advertised price is only to get the listing online. I understand you’ll need to inspect the area first for accuracy. Please reply if you can do all the work yourself as well as if you can do it during the weekdays. Thankyou for your help.

Repair waterproofing below balcony sliding door

$500

Carrum VIC 3197, Australia

27th Sep 2026

I have an upstairs tiled balcony with a large aluminium sliding door. There is a visible gap and deterioration along the bottom of the door frame/threshold only, and I believe water is getting through this area and leaking into the ceiling downstairs. I’m looking for someone experienced in balcony waterproofing, sliding door thresholds and water ingress repairs to properly diagnose and repair the issue. There have been previous attempts to seal the bottom of the frame with silicone or similar material, which has now deteriorated and separated. This old material will likely need to be removed and the area properly cleaned back before repairing it. I do not want another layer of silicone applied over the existing problem. I’m looking for a proper long-term repair that addresses how water is getting underneath the bottom of the frame. I would strongly prefer the door and frame to remain in place if possible. The frame is solidly plastered into the wall internally and the external render finishes directly against it, so removing the whole frame would create considerable additional work. Job to include: * Inspect the bottom threshold/frame only and identify where water is entering * Remove failed silicone/sealant and previous repair material as required * Inspect the junction between the frame, balcony tiles and waterproofing * Repair/reinstate suitable waterproofing, flashing, membrane or sealing as required * Neatly finish the area and water test if practical There are no known issues with the top or sides of the door. Photos are attached and I can provide additional photos, video, measurements or details if required. Location: Carrum, VIC Please respond if you have experience with balcony door threshold leaks and waterproofing, rather than general silicone/caulking work.

Quick and professional work, communicated well and the task was completed promptly. Would use again.

Laundry/Bathroom Waterproof and Tiling

$3,000

Innaloo WA 6018, Australia

10th Aug 2026

I am installing a shower into my laundry. The job involves: 1. Remove all remaining tiles in laundry, mostly floor and skirting (see photos). 2. Construct a shelf in the shower out of existing bricks, and tile over these. 3. Possibly construct a hob and tile this. 4. Waterproof shower area. 5. Tile the shower area. 6. Tile the floor. 7. Tile some walls up to 1m high. 8. Tile a splashback along one wall. Approx tiling surface area = 15m2. Approx waterproofing area = 4m2. Tiles will be supplied by me.

In the end they got the job done. Slight deviations from the original plan. For a laundry tile removal and re-tile it took them 2 weeks and I found I had to give them advice a lot. Communication is what these guys desperately need to improve. Often 3+ hours late. For a laundry tile they're ok, for anywhere else in the house I'd say no.
