Essential Waterproofing & Tile Services for Newcastle Bathrooms
Bathroom Waterproofing – AS3740 Compliant Protection: Waterproofing is critical in Newcastle’s coastal humidity. We apply AS3740-compliant membrane systems to floors and walls, properly sealed at penetrations. This prevents water damage, mould, and structural issues.
Tile Installation – Walls, Floors & Feature Areas: We install floor tiles, wall tiles, and feature areas with proper substrate preparation and waterproof adhesives. Grout is sealed to resist Newcastle’s moisture. Large format tiles, mosaics, or standard – done right.
Benchtop Installation – Stone, Engineered & Laminate Options: We template, cut, and install bathroom benchtops with precise measurements. Natural stone, engineered stone, or laminate – sealed properly and mounted securely with plumbing cutouts for basin installations.
Accessible Bathroom Design & Installation
Mobility-Friendly Bathroom Layouts – Wheelchair & Walker Access: We design bathrooms with wider doorways, turning circles for wheelchairs, and barrier-free access. Layouts are planned around mobility equipment and user needs for safe, independent bathroom use.
Grab Rail & Safety Feature Installation: We install grab rails near toilets, showers, and baths – anchored into wall studs or blocking, not just plasterboard. Positioned at the correct heights for maximum support and safety.
Walk-In Bath & Level-Access Shower Solutions: Level-access showers eliminate tripping hazards with flush thresholds and proper drainage. Walk-in baths feature low-entry doors. Both options provide safer bathing for reduced mobility or aging-in-place.
NDIS & Aged Care Compliant Renovations: We design and install bathrooms meeting NDIS and aged care requirements. Compliant fixtures, appropriate dimensions, safety features, and documentation for funding approval – all handled professionally.

Newcastle’s coastal humidity means moisture is constant. Without proper AS3740-compliant waterproofing, you’ll get mould, water damage to floor structures, and ongoing problems. We use membrane systems designed for coastal environments that actually protect your home long-term.
We recommend marine-grade stainless steel for all hardware, coastal-rated shower screens, and moisture-resistant materials. Cheaper chrome fixtures corrode quickly from salt air. Quality products cost more upfront but last 15-20 years instead of failing within 2-3 years.
