Frequently Asked Questions About Waterproofing And Tiling in Kellyville Ridge
How much does waterproofing and tiling cost in Australia?
Waterproofing and tiling a wet area costs $60 to $180 per square metre installed in Australia, driven mostly by tile choice. A 15 litre tub of waterproofing membrane costs $59 to $262, and porcelain floor tiles run $29 to $125 per square metre before adhesive, grout and labour.
Can I do waterproofing myself?
Waterproofing a bathroom or wet area yourself is technically possible, but it demands precise membrane coverage at joints, corners and floor-wall junctions, and any gaps risk leaks into the walls and floors below that are costly to fix once tiled over. Because mistakes are expensive and hard to spot, most homeowners hire a licensed waterproofer.
What is the best waterproofing method for a bathroom?
The best waterproofing method for a bathroom is a liquid membrane, rolled on over a primer to fully seal floors, walls and shower recesses before tiling begins. It bonds seamlessly around corners, pipes and drains without joins, unlike sheet membranes, making it the standard choice for most Australian wet area renovations today.
How much does tiling cost per square metre in Australia?
Tiling labour typically costs $45–$120/m² depending on tile size, pattern complexity, and location. Large format tiles (600x600+) cost more due to difficulty of installation. Supply and install packages including tiles range from $80–$200/m².
Do I need to waterproof before tiling a shower?
Yes — wet area waterproofing before tiling is mandatory under Australian Standard AS 3740 and the National Construction Code. This must be performed by a qualified installer and must cure fully before tiling begins. Failure to waterproof is the leading cause of shower leaks.
What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles?
Porcelain tiles are denser, less porous, and more durable than ceramic — making them better for floors and wet areas. Ceramic tiles are lighter, easier to cut, and typically cheaper, making them suitable for wall applications and lower-traffic areas.
How long does tiling take to dry before use?
Standard tile adhesive takes 24–48 hours to set before grouting. Grout cures in 24 hours for foot traffic, but allow 72 hours before full use of showers. Epoxy grout cures faster but is harder to work with.
What size grout joint should I use?
Rectified tiles can use joints as small as 1.5–2mm. Non-rectified tiles need 3–5mm joints to accommodate size variation. Large format tiles typically use 3mm joints minimum. Your tiler will recommend the right joint for your tile type.
