Bathroom Waterproofing Auckland

PS3 certified waterproofing installers delivering council-compliant, leak-proof bathroom systems for new builds and renovations across Auckland.

PS3 Certified – Council Compliant – Done Right the First Time

Water damage in a bathroom doesn’t start big — it starts silently, behind your tiles.

A small failure in waterproofing allows moisture to seep into your walls and floors. Over time, that leads to mould, rot, structural damage, and costly repairs that often require ripping the entire bathroom apart.

** The truth:
Most bathroom failures in Auckland happen because waterproofing was either done incorrectly or not done to code.

What Happens When Waterproofing Is Done Wrong

Most issues aren’t visible until it’s too late.

By the time you notice something, you could be dealing with:

  • Tiles lifting or cracking
  • Persistent damp or musty smells
  • Black mould inside the walls
  • Rotten timber framing
  • Concrete substrate damage

And at that point, it’s no longer a simple fix — it’s a full bathroom rebuild.

We regularly fix failed waterproofing jobs across Auckland. In almost every case, the cause is the same: poor application, wrong products, or no certification.

How We Waterproof Bathrooms (Properly)

We don’t cut corners – because corners are exactly where most leaks start.

Using ARDEX-certified waterproofing systems, we apply membranes as a complete system (not mismatched products), ensuring long-term performance.

Every project includes:

  • Full waterproofing of shower floors and walls
  • Sealing of floor-to-wall junctions (critical failure point)
  • Reinforcement of internal/external corners
  • Proper sealing around pipes, drains, and penetrations
  • Correct membrane thickness + curing time before tiling

The result: a fully sealed wet area system, built to last – not just pass inspection.

PS3 Certification & Auckland Council Compliance

If your bathroom requires consent, waterproofing must meet strict requirements.

We provide a PS3 Producer Statement upon completion, confirming:

  • Work complies with NZ Building Code (E3 Internal Moisture)
  • Installation follows approved systems and standards
  • qualified applicator completes work

This is essential for:

  • Passing council inspections
  • Protecting your property value
  • Avoiding issues during resale or insurance claims

New Builds & Bathroom Renovations

We work on both:

  • New residential builds (working alongside builders/project managers)
  • Bathroom renovations (including full strip-out and rebuilds)

Before waterproofing begins, we:

  • Assess the substrate condition
  • Identify any risks or prep requirements
  • Ensure everything is ready for a compliant system

If your project includes tiling, we handle both waterproofing + tiling – giving you:
✔ One contractor
✔ One system
✔ Zero finger-pointing between trades

Nebo did an outstanding job on our 2 bathrooms. From the very beginning, he was incredibly thorough during the quoting process, asking lots of detailed questions to make sure he fully understood exactly what we wanted. His workmanship is excellent, with impressive attention to detail throughout, and the final result not only matched our vision but exceeded our expectations. We are so pleased with the quality of his work and would highly recommend Dakom tiling to anyone looking for a skilled, professional and reliable tiler.

Nebo and his team of tilers did a 1st class job of our bathroom renovation. Very high level attention to detail with flawless mitre joints and they really took their time getting our herringbone pattern lined up and symmetrical around our shower niche. Great communication, always turned up on time & tided up afterwards. If you’re looking for a very good tiler, at a reasonable price point I would contact Nebo & lock it in. Will be recommending Dakom Tiling to our friends & family for sure.

We’ve used Dakom Tiling Ltd on multiple projects for bathroom tiling and waterproofing, and they’ve been consistently solid.
The workmanship is top quality — clean lines, good attention to detail, and everything finished properly. Their waterproofing is done right, which is critical, and gives us confidence handing over to clients.
They’re reliable, turn up when they say they will, and get through the work without dragging things out. Easy to deal with on site and don’t need to be micromanaged.
Overall, very happy with their work and we’ll continue using them for bathroom tiling and waterproofing moving forward.

As a Building Manager, I have been working with Dakom Tiling for a few years now across several buildings that I manage.
The team is very professional, reliable, and highly meticulous in their finishing. They respect all health and safety procedures and have consistently worked well while accommodating our residents.

FAQs

Got questions? Here’s everything you need to know before hiring a tiler

Yes. Under NZ Building Code Clause E3, waterproofing is required in all wet areas, including showers, bathroom floors, and splash zones. Without proper waterproofing, moisture can penetrate behind tiles and cause structural damage over time.

If your project requires building consent, then yes – a PS3 Producer Statement is required. This document confirms that a qualified applicator has completed the waterproofing and complies with NZ regulations. Auckland Council inspectors often require it.

Costs vary depending on the size of the bathroom and scope of work, but typically range from $800 to $2,500+ for standard bathrooms. Complex layouts, repairs, or larger wet areas can increase the price.

DIY waterproofing is allowed in some cases, but it is risky. If the work is not done correctly or lacks certification, it can lead to failed inspections, insurance issues, or expensive repairs later. For consented work, a qualified applicator is required.

Waterproofing usually takes 1–2 days, including application and curing time. Tiling should only begin once the membrane has fully cured to ensure proper performance and compliance.
