What this job involves
Assess a wet-area membrane and its junctions before finishes are reinstated.
Assessment before agreeing the work
Review substrate condition, outlets, upstands and the pattern of leakage.
Scope to confirm in the quotation
Agree preparation, compatible system, corner details and testing before covering.
How the cost is assessed
Water marks do not identify the source by themselves. A waterproofing assessment considers plumbing, joints, surface falls, membrane condition and how water enters the area. Discuss investigation and testing before deciding whether a local repair or a broader system replacement is appropriate.
- Likely water-entry route and affected area
- Access to the substrate and removal of existing finishes
- Compatible membrane or sealant system and detailing
- Drying, curing, testing and reinstatement requirements
The final scope and price depend on the site assessment, quantities, chosen materials and agreed exclusions. Ask for an itemised quotation rather than assuming a standard rate covers every condition.
Before the site visit
- Record when the water appears and which adjoining areas are affected.
- Photograph outlets, joints, corners and the visible damage.
- Share previous repair records and any available leak-test findings.
Confirm access, ownership and building-management requirements before opening up shared or external elements. Waterproofing does not replace plumbing repair or structural assessment where those are the source. Agree the test method and responsibility for reinstatement in writing.
Check the completed work
Review agreed membrane details and the documented test before the next trade proceeds.
Agree which records, material details and follow-up items will be handed over. Record any area outside the agreed scope so it is clear what has been inspected and what still needs attention.

Questions before you book
What should I send for a bathroom waterproofing quotation?
Room dimensions, leak records, drain positions and proposed tile reinstatement. Include the exact Balestier address and any building-access restrictions.
Can a quotation be confirmed from photographs alone?
Photographs help define the enquiry, but hidden conditions and installation details may require an on-site assessment. Review substrate condition, outlets, upstands and the pattern of leakage.
How is the final work checked?
Review agreed membrane details and the documented test before the next trade proceeds. Confirm the inspection method and included making-good work in the written scope.
