Wall tiling in progress
Bathroom waterproofing starts with a clear assessment of the affected wet area and repair scope.
Shower-only waterproofing and retiling
We provide targeted shower waterproofing repairs as well as wider bathroom renewal. During assessment, we check the substrate and connections to the surrounding waterproofing, discuss the fittings you want to retain and confirm the removal and reinstatement needed. We explain which surfaces need to be opened, the junctions to be renewed and the tiling or finishing needed to return the repaired area to use.
Waterproofing and installation with customer-supplied tiles
If you have already bought tiles, send us their specifications, sizes and available quantity. We check suitability, layout, substrate condition and installation compatibility before including them in the work. Our written quote identifies who supplies tiles and other materials, with any additional preparation or tile requirements explained before you approve the scope.
Waterproofing work in a one-bathroom home
Tell MEL ONE before agreeing the scope. Ask which facilities will be unavailable and when access can resume, allowing for preparation, membrane and finishing requirements. The actual system and site conditions determine the sequence; arrange alternative washing facilities around the confirmed plan. Use the waterproofing and retiling quote guide to request separate removal, substrate, membrane, tiling, finishing and waste-removal items, then discuss your bathroom requirements.
Bathroom leak assessment and membrane renewal
Water staining, a leaking shower, loose tiles or failed silicone can be signs of a deeper wet-area issue. MEL ONE assesses the bathroom as a whole, including the shower base, wall-floor junctions, tiled finishes and nearby surfaces, before recommending the most suitable repair path for the property.
Where the waterproofing system needs renewal, the service can bring removal, substrate preparation, waterproofing membrane work, retiling and finishing work into one written scope. This gives you a clear view of what the bathroom repair includes before work starts.
Bathroom waterproofing scope
Your written scope is tailored to the bathroom and the condition found on site. Depending on the repair required, MEL ONE can include the following work as clearly listed items:
Removal of affected tiles, fittings or finishes where access to the waterproofing area is required.
Preparation and repair of the substrate before a new wet-area membrane system is applied.
Waterproofing membrane work to the agreed bathroom, shower or floor-and-wall junction areas.
Retiling, grout, silicone and agreed finishing work to return the bathroom to a practical finished condition.
Bathroom assessment, preparation and reinstatement
Tell us what you are seeing. Call us with your suburb and the bathroom area affected or planned renovation. You can contact us without photographs or measurements.
We define the repair scope. MEL ONE inspects and measures the wet area on site, checks the leak cause or renovation requirements and confirms waterproofing, access and finishing work in the work plan and written quote.
We complete the agreed work. The repair is delivered to the written scope, with waterproofing and retiling work coordinated as required for the bathroom.

Substrate checks before membrane installation
For bathroom floors and shower walls, we usually consider a flexible liquid-applied membrane or a dedicated under-tile sheet system suited to the substrate and tile finish. Polymer-modified cementitious products are considered where the specific system documents that wet-area use. Our preparation covers cleaning, repairs, levelling and the moisture conditions required by the selected system.
Membrane curing, tiling and shower reuse
Bathroom waterproofing details usually include the specified primer, wall-to-floor junction treatment, pipe collars and connections to floor wastes and waterstops. Liquid systems are checked for the specified coverage and film thickness; sheet systems have their own seam and corner details. We plan curing, any agreed testing, tiling and shower reuse as separate stages using the product instructions and site conditions. Waterproofing materials and installation guide
Bathroom membrane renewal and retiling: compare the whole scope
This page covers the agreed removal, substrate preparation, membrane installation and retiling needed for bathroom wet-area renewal. We identify the surfaces to renew and the finishes to retain before confirming the quote.
Planned strip-out and wet-area renewal
Our own team plans bathroom renewal from removal and substrate preparation through to waterproofing, tiling and finishing. We discuss the fittings you want to retain, check junctions and drains and explain the curing stages. The quote records the actual repair area and work sequence so the bathroom is restored in a coordinated way.
An existing leak with an uncertain source
If water is escaping but the source has not been assessed, start with shower leak assessment before deciding how much of the bathroom needs to be opened or renewed.
We confirm access, protection of adjoining finishes and return-to-use instructions with the quote. Use the quote guide to compare included work rather than a membrane-only price against a complete retiling price.
Tell us whether you need a shower-only repair or a wider bathroom renewal, which finishes you hope to keep and whether this is your only bathroom. We confirm the assessed work, inclusions and return-to-use sequence in the written quote and work plan.

Request an on-site assessment and written quote for a repair or renovation. Photos are optional: email safely taken photos to riley@melonemaintenance.com.au or contact us without them. Do not remove finishes to investigate damage. Tell us if this is the only bathroom so downtime and access can be planned.
