“The quote listed the waterproofer by name and the membrane system, which no other company did. Three weeks, the price never moved, and the certificate was in the handover folder like they promised.”

Brisbane inner suburbs · design-led bathroom renovations
Bathrooms renovated to the waterproofing standard, not the photo shoot.
Full renovations, ensuites and walk-in shower conversions. Designed to a fixed price, waterproofed by licensed hands, certified at handover.
Why homeowners pick us
Booked solid on proof, not promises.
The cover a cheap quote quietly skips.
Before a tile is lifted, your money and your half-built bathroom are covered. Two of these are the law in Queensland, and the law is exactly what the cowboy is dodging.
QBCC Home Warranty Insurance
For residential building work over $3,300 we must pay the QBCC home warranty premium for you. If a builder cannot complete or fix the work, you are covered for non-completion and defective work, including waterproofing failure. The cowboy skips this, which is part of why the quote looks cheaper.
Mandatory over $3,300
Public liability to $20M
Your home, your neighbours and our trades are covered for the full duration of the renovation. Certificate of currency available before we start.
$20M cover
Waterproofing & workmanship warranty
Written against the certified membrane and our workmanship: the layer no one sees and the one that fails first. Registered and handed over with your certificates.
10-year warranty
Every wet area in the house, done to the standard.
Seven services, one method: a measured design, a fixed itemised price, and certified waterproofing under everything we tile.

Tired ensuites renovated properly, and new ensuites added where none exists, drainage feasibility checked first.

What happens next, step by step.
Consult & measure
At your place. We measure the room, check the substrate and drainage, and talk budget honestly.
Design & fixed price
A drawn design with every fixture placed and a fixed, itemised proposal. You sign the scope, not a sketch.
Strip out, waterproof, certify
Demolition, new rough-in, screeds with proper falls, then certified waterproofing, inspected before a tile goes down.
Tile, fit off & hand over
Tiling, fixtures and glass installed, site cleaned, and a handover pack with every certificate and warranty.
The finish date lives in the contract, not the chat.
You get a written completion date at sign-off, and the days the bathroom is genuinely out of action. If we run over for reasons within our control, the remedy is in the contract too. A bathroom out of action has a real cost, and we treat it that way. Honest exceptions, hidden damage or a change you request, are agreed in writing before they move the date.
A composite demo, but the clause is the real shape of how we contract a completion date.
Schedule 2 / Clause 4.1
The Works shall reach Practical Completion on or before the Agreed Completion Date stated below. This date is a term of this contract, not an estimate.
Typical full renovation
14 working days

Schedule 2
What a real bathroom proposal looks like.
Seven lines that make any quote comparable, line for line, and the cowboy tells to watch for while you compare.
- 1 The measured design. Laser-measured, drawn with every fixture placed, and signed off by you before demolition is booked.
- 2 Strip-out & disposal. Demolition, asbestos check on pre-1990 sheeting, skip and disposal, all on their own line.
- 3 Waterproofing, certified. The licensed waterproofer named, the membrane system named, and the certificate lodged. Never "included".
- 4 Screeds, falls & tiling. Screed with falls to the waste, tile supply by named range, laying pattern and trim profiles, priced exactly.
- 5 Plumbing & electrical. Licensed plumber and electrician, rough-in and fit-off, with compliance certificates itemised, not "allowances".
- 6 Fixtures & fittings, named. Vanity, tapware, screen and toilet by brand and model, so "equivalent" can never be swapped in.
- 7 Warranty & certificates. 10-year waterproofing and workmanship warranty in writing, plus every certificate in your handover pack.
What you get from us
- ✓Waterproofing by a QBCC-licensed waterproofer, certificate lodged
- ✓A fixed, itemised price signed before demo day
- ✓Falls and drainage designed on paper, not improvised on site
- ✓Fixtures named by brand and model in the proposal
- ✓10-year waterproofing warranty in writing
Cowboy tells
- ✕Waterproofing "included", nobody licensed, no certificate
- ✕A round number off two photos, resized mid-job
- ✕Tiles laid flat and a shower that drains to the door
- ✕"Equivalent" fixtures swapped in after you sign
- ✕A warranty that ends when the grout dries
Refresh, renovate, relocate or add: the four honest scopes.
Refresh & reglaze
New vanity, tapware, toilet and accessories, regrout and reseal, on a bathroom whose membrane and tiles are sound.
Wrong when: Any leak, soft grout or mould. A refresh over a failed membrane is money buried.
Full renovation, same layout
Strip to the frame, new waterproofing, screeds, tiling, fixtures and lighting in the existing footprint. Our bread and butter.
Wrong when: You are moving the toilet, the walls, or adding a window. That is the next option.
Renovate & relocate
Fixtures or walls moved, drainage re-run, sometimes a window or door shifted. Needs licensed trades and, in some cases, building approval, all coordinated by us.
Wrong when: The footprint already works. You would be paying for disruption, not function.
Ensuite addition
A new bathroom where none exists: inside a bedroom, under stairs, in a corner of the deck. Drainage feasibility checked first, always.
Wrong when: The main bathroom is the real problem.
Work out the scope, then see the range.
The condition aid gives you an honest steer on refresh versus renovate versus relocate, and the estimator turns that into a realistic dollar band. Both run free in your browser and store nothing. Neither is a quote, your number comes from a measured design.
Three layers, and what each one covers.
10-year waterproofing & workmanship
The membrane and our workmanship, warranted in writing for a decade. We lay it, we certify it, we stand behind it.
Certificates & product warranties, registered
The waterproofing certificate, plumbing and electrical compliance certificates, and the fixture manufacturer warranties, all registered and handed over.
Statutory (ACL)
Services rendered with due care and skill for a reasonable period under Australian Consumer Law. Always applies.
Aftercare
We come back, because the membrane has a lifetime to prove.
Twelve months after handover we return, no charge, to inspect the room and re-seal what needs it. Sealant and silicone are the parts that quietly age, so we maintain them before they fail. Booked automatically, no chasing required.
Included with every renovation- Full inspection of grout, silicone and movement joints
- Re-seal of wet-area perimeters and penetrations
- Tapware and drainage checked for early signs of wear
- Written report, so the warranty stays clean and current
What inner-Brisbane homeowners say.
Wall of love
Kind words from dry bathrooms.

“Elena told us upfront our first ensuite idea would not work because of where the waste could run, and designed one that did. That honesty is why we signed. The finished room is the best in the apartment.”
“Bath out, walk-in shower in, eight days. The floor actually falls to the drain, which our last bathroom never managed. Should have done it years ago.”
“We needed a level-entry shower for my mother and dreaded a hospital look. What we got is a beautiful bathroom that happens to have no step and rails you barely notice. The assessor paperwork was handled without fuss.”
“Two companies quoted to regrout our leaking shower. Joel pulled a tile, showed us the failed membrane, and explained why regrouting would waste our money. The full renovation cost more and was worth every dollar.”
“They checked the drainage feasibility before charging us for any design work. The ensuite came in on the fixed price, and the tiler lined the niche up with the grout lines, which my builder friends tell me is the tell.”
“Renovating in a unit meant body corporate, and Waterline handled the whole approval pack: insurance certificates, work hours, floor protection. The committee approved it first pass, which apparently never happens.”
“Bathroom and laundry done together in three and a half weeks. One skip, one crew, and the laundry waterproofing got the same certificate as the bathroom. Tidy site every single evening.”
“Large-format tiles, mitred edges, a niche that lines up perfectly. The set-out drawing they showed us before laying a single tile is exactly what the finished bathroom looks like.”
