Waterproofing services
Waterproofing for bathrooms, balconies & outdoor areas
Waterproofing sits behind the tiles and finishes, but it does some of the most important work in a bathroom, laundry or balcony. PB47 Construction prepares and waterproofs these areas carefully before the next stage begins.

Preparation through to tiling
The part you should not rush
Good waterproofing starts with good preparation
A membrane can only perform properly when the surface underneath is sound and the details around corners, drains and pipe penetrations have been handled carefully.
We first look at how the area is built and where the water needs to go. Then we prepare the surface, address the important junctions and apply a suitable waterproofing system for the agreed job.
- Clear explanation of what is included
- Care around wall-to-floor junctions and penetrations
- Attention to falls, drains and doorway thresholds
- Waterproofing coordinated with PB47 tiling work
One team for waterproofing and tiling
Where we can help
Waterproofing for wet and exposed areas
Every space deals with water differently. We look at the location, the surface and the finish that will sit above the waterproofing before confirming the scope.
Laundries
Practical preparation and waterproofing around floors, wall junctions, wastes and plumbing points in hardworking laundry spaces.
Balconies
Balcony waterproofing planned around drainage, falls, edges, thresholds and the outdoor finish that will be installed above it.
Outdoor areas
Selected outdoor areas assessed for weather exposure, movement, drainage and compatibility with the planned surface finish.
Repair preparation
If an existing area shows signs of water damage, we inspect the visible condition and explain what may need to be opened up before repairs can be priced.
Waterproofing & tiling
Keeping both stages with PB47 can make scheduling clearer and help the waterproofing and tile installation work together as one scope.
How the work moves forward
A straightforward waterproofing process
01
Inspect

02
Prepare
The area is cleaned and prepared, with corners, joins and penetrations addressed for the agreed system.
03
Waterproof
The waterproofing system is applied methodically, including the important detail areas that are easy to overlook.
04
Next stage
We confirm when the area is ready for the next part of the project, such as tiling or another finish.
Before we quote
A few details help us understand the job
Send the project suburb, a few clear photos and the approximate size of the area. Let us know whether it is a new build, renovation or an existing area with signs of a leak.
If the project also includes demolition or tiling, mention that too. We can then advise whether an on-site inspection is the right next step.

Common questions
Can PB47 waterproof and tile the same area?
Yes. Waterproofing and wall or floor tiling can be included in one agreed scope, which keeps the work sequence easier to manage.
Do you work on balconies as well as bathrooms?
Yes. We handle internal wet areas, balconies and selected outdoor areas after assessing the location and planned finish.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos and measurements help with the first conversation, but some jobs need an on-site inspection before the full scope and price can be confirmed.
What happens if there is already a leak?
We inspect the visible condition and discuss what may need to be removed or investigated. The source of water is not always directly above the visible damage.
