The detail

What a good waterproofing quote includes

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered — labour, materials, prep and clean-up — so you're comparing like for like. Check what each waterproofer's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.

Licence number. On the quote, and verify it before work starts.
Compliance certificate. An AS 3740 certificate promised before tiling starts.
Membrane brand. The exact membrane product, not just 'waterproofing'.
Substrate preparation. Grinding, priming and levelling, so nothing is skipped.
Number of coats. Liquid membranes need at least two coats.
Flood testing. A 24-hour flood test before the tiles go on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hiring waterproofers

How much do waterproofers typically charge?

Costs for waterproofing jobs vary depending on the type of job and its complexity. Area, access, the membrane system specified and whether remedial work or after-hours attendance is needed all influence price. This page shows live pricing for typical jobs to help you compare quotes.

Do waterproofers charge call-out fees?

Many waterproofers charge a call-out fee to attend and carry out an initial inspection, which covers travel and the diagnostic visit. Call-out fees are usually separate from labour and materials costs. It's wise to confirm any call-out terms when requesting a quote.

Do waterproofers need a licence in Australia?

Yes. Waterproofing work generally must be carried out by a licensed waterproofer in every Australian state and territory; in NSW, licences are managed by NSW Fair Trading. Providers should be able to supply their licence number and written membrane system specifications. It's common for reputable waterproofers to hold public liability insurance and for site workers to have a White Card.

Can I get an emergency Waterproofer in Queensland?

Many waterproofers in Queensland offer same-day and after-hours callouts. Get quotes from local waterproofers and ask about emergency availability when you book.
