Bathroom Waterproofing in Coolaroo

Certified bathroom waterproofing across Coolaroo. Older 1970s brick veneers in the area often have failed or non-compliant membranes hidden under tiles from the 90s. We strip back, reprime, and lay a certified two-coat system that sits behind every renovation we build.

Six stages. Three inspections. One accountable team.

Every Vision Line renovation runs the same documented sequence. Nothing is signed off verbally — every stage is photographed, and every certificate is issued to you in writing.

Free on-site inspection. We measure, photograph and diagnose the substrate, plumbing routes and fall issues before quoting.

Every tile, tap, vanity and screen specified by product code in a written scope with locked-in start and finish dates.

You approve the written scope in full.

Demolition, plumbing and electrical rough-in with certificates. Substrate correction, screed to 1:80 fall, two-coat AS3740-2021 membrane.

Frequently asked.

Do you cover our part of Coolaroo?

Yes. We service all of Coolaroo (3048) and the surrounding suburbs — Meadow Heights, Broadmeadows, Dallas, Roxburgh Park. Free on-site measure across the entire area.

Which bathroom waterproofing style suits Coolaroo homes best?

Given the local mix of 1970s brick veneers and new townhouses, we most often recommend warm stone-look, paired with same-footprint renovation. Every recommendation is confirmed against your specific floor plan during the design session.

Do we need to remove tiles for you to waterproof?

Yes — proper waterproofing sits behind the tile bed. Any 'topical' membrane applied over existing tiles is a temporary bandaid, not a compliant fix.

Will insurance accept your certificate?

Yes. Every certificate is issued in the applicator's name with photographic evidence attached, which is what insurers require for future claims.
