Waterproofing quoting

Waterproofing quoting software
— quote jobs in under two minutes.

Waterproofing is mostly per-sqm membrane work, but substrate condition, drainage detail and coat count drive the price far more than the raw area — and a leak repair can range from a quick injection to a full strip-and-retile. Tradewin prices each job against your real membrane, primer and labour costs, from a bathroom to a podium deck, and sends the quote straight from site. Save your standard systems — wet areas, bathrooms, balconies — as TradeWin Recipes™ so the next quote takes a couple of taps.

What drives the price of waterproofing work

The same job can vary widely. Tradewin prices against your real costs, so these factors are built in — not guessed.

Substrate & prep

What the membrane goes over sets the prep — a sound screed and a cracked, contaminated slab need very different preparation before a coat is applied.

Coats & product spec

Number of coats, membrane system and how many hobs, junctions and penetrations get detailed all move the per-sqm rate on wet-area and bathroom work.

Drainage & falls

Balconies, terraces and podium decks live or die on drainage detail and correct falls — getting the water away is where the real labour sits, not the flat field area.

Repair scope

A shower leak can be an injection-and-seal with no tile removal, or a full strip, re-waterproof and retile — the cause of failure decides which, and the two are very different quotes.

Common waterproofing jobs and what moves the price

  • Balcony / Deck Waterproofing

    Substrate condition, drainage detail, and membrane type drive variation.

  • Basement / Underground Waterproofing

    Extent of works, tanking method, and drainage requirements cause major variation.

  • Bathroom Waterproofing

    Shower recess complexity, substrate condition, and number of coats affect pricing.

  • External Wall Waterproofing

    Wall type, coating spec, and scaffold requirements cause wide variation.

  • Roof / Box Gutter Waterproofing

    Membrane system, existing condition, and fall correction affect pricing.

  • Shower Leak Repair — Injection / Seal Only

    Epoxy or polyurethane injection without tile removal — only suitable for hairline cracks; distinct from full waterproof-and-retile.
