Frequently Asked Questions

How long does bathroom waterproofing take?

A typical bathroom can take 1 to 2 days to complete depending on the system or products used.

  • Day 1: Surface preparation, primer application, detail work and apply first coat of membrane.
  • Day 2: Inspect area for any additional detail work and apply second coat of waterproof membrane.

Most products require 24 to 48 hours cure time before tiling can begin.

Do I need to vacate my home during waterproofing?

No, you don't need to vacate your home. Mario works cleanly and efficiently, containing the work area. The waterproofing products we use are low-odour and safe. You'll only need to avoid the specific area being waterproofed during application and drying time.

How much does waterproofing cost?

Waterproofing costs vary based on several factors:

  • Size of the area
  • Type of waterproofing required
  • Condition of existing surfaces
  • Accessibility of the area
  • Performance requirements
  • Length of product warranty

As a guide, a typical bathroom costs $750 - $950. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote specific to your project.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we offer flexible payment options for larger projects. Typically, we require a 30% deposit to secure your booking, with the balance due upon completion. For projects over $5,000, we can arrange milestone payments. We accept cash, bank transfer, and credit card payments.

In QLD, can a homeowner install waterproofing?

No. In QLD, the work must be carried out by a licensed QBCC waterproofer.

What waterproofing standards do you follow?

We strictly adhere to the following

  • National Construction Code (NCC)
  • Australian Standards
  • QBCC
  • Manufacturer specifications for all products

Mario's 25 years of experience ensures every project exceeds these standards.

What's the difference between internal and external waterproofing?

Internal waterproofing protects areas inside your home (bathrooms, laundries) from water damage, using sheet or liquid membranes designed for tiled surfaces. External waterproofing protects outdoor areas (balconies, roofs, retaining walls) from weather exposure, using UV-resistant and more robust membrane systems. Each requires different products and application methods for optimal protection.

Can you waterproof over existing tiles?

In some cases, yes. We can apply specialised over-tile waterproofing systems if the existing tiles are sound and well-adhered. However, for the best long-term results, we typically recommend removing tiles to waterproof the substrate properly. Mario will assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective solution.

What warranty do you provide?

We provide a 6.5-year workmanship warranty on all new waterproofing work covering installation quality and workmanship defects.

Manufacturer warranties vary depending on your chosen system:

  • Water-based systems: 8 years manufacturer warranty
  • Polyurethane thick membrane systems: up to 20 years manufacturer warranty

All warranties are fully transferable if you sell your property, adding value to your home.

What happens if there's a problem after completion?

Mario stands behind every job. If any issues arise, simply call us and we'll inspect the problem within 48 hours. If it's covered under warranty, we'll fix it at no cost to you. Our 100% satisfaction rate reflects our commitment to quality and customer service. We maintain detailed records and photos of all work for warranty purposes.

Do you work with insurance claims?

Yes, we regularly work with insurance companies for water damage claims. We can provide detailed reports, photos, and documentation required by insurers. Our thermal imaging leak detection service is particularly useful for insurance claims, as it provides clear evidence of water ingress sources.

Why choose Spartan Waterproofing over cheaper quotes?

While we offer competitive pricing, the cheapest quote often means corners are cut. With Spartan Waterproofing you get:

  • 25 years of experience and expertise
  • Premium quality materials from trusted brands
  • Proper surface preparation (often skipped by others)
  • Full compliance with Australian Standards

  • A 5.0 star rating from verified customers

Quality waterproofing is an investment that protects your property for decades.
