Why Ponsonby Owners Call Dakom Tiling
Most Ponsonby villas were built decades before any waterproofing standard existed. A bathroom that has never leaked yet is not the same as a bathroom that was ever properly waterproofed.
PS3 Certified,
Character Home Ready
Heritage status changes nothing under the building code. Auckland Council still requires a PS3 for consented wet area work, and we are Registered PS3 Authors, so we issue it ourselves once the job is done.
Council-Ready DocsBuilt for Narrow Sites,
No Driveway Needed
A lot of Ponsonby villas have no off-street parking and a long hallway between the front door and the bathroom. We plan access, use street parking permits where needed, and protect original floors and skirtings on the way through.
Heritage-Aware AccessOne Crew for the
Whole Wet Area
Waterproofing, screeding, tiling and the PS3 are all handled by the same team, start to finish. When the membrane and the tiling get split between two contractors, nobody owns the result.
Start-to-Finish ServiceDone Once,
Backed for 10 Years
A character villa holds its value because it was done properly, not because it was done twice. Our work is covered by a 10-year workmanship warranty in writing.
Written GuaranteeBooked Around Your Household, Not the Other Way
Most Ponsonby jobs happen in a home people are still living in. We protect the rest of the house, work to a fixed schedule, send progress photos at the end of each day, and clean up before we leave.

What Does Waterproofing and Tiling Cost in Ponsonby?
A little more than a standard suburb job, mostly because of what is usually hiding behind original villa tiling. As a general guide:
Repair & Remedial
$3,500 to $10,000
A leaking villa shower, isolated waterproofing repair, or grout and silicone renewal on original tiling. We diagnose the cause before touching anything.
Full Villa Bathroom Renovation
$28,000 to $48,000
Most common in PonsonbyComplete strip-out, certified waterproofing with PS3, full floor and wall tiling, new fixtures, plumbing and electrical, with original features protected throughout.
Premium Ensuite & Multiple Wet Areas
$55,000 to $95,000+
Two or three bathrooms in one visit, natural stone, freestanding baths, custom joinery coordination, and underfloor heating.
Why Ponsonby pricing differs. There is no ferry freight here, but there is usually more preparation. Original villas sit on timber piles, and the substrate under a hundred-year-old bathroom floor often needs work before a new membrane can go down. Protecting kauri floors, skirtings, cornices and other original features while the crew is on site also takes time that a standard 1990s build does not need. For the underlying labour rates we work from, see our guide on how much a tiler costs in New Zealand.
One tip. Ask for a fixed, itemised quote that lists the strip-out, substrate repair, waterproofing product and tiling rate as separate lines. On a character home, substrate repair is the line most likely to be underquoted or left out entirely.
