Waterproofing – Protect your home from water damage

Ensure your tiled areas stay dry, durable, and beautiful with expert waterproofing solutions.

Waterproofing is one of the most critical steps in any tiling project, especially in wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries. Without proper waterproofing, moisture can seep into walls and floors, leading to mold, mildew, and structural damage. At Tile Church, we provide professional waterproofing services across the Kapiti Coast, giving you peace of mind and a moisture-free home.

“A watertight foundation ensures long-lasting, beautiful tiles.”


Our waterproofing services

We offer a range of waterproofing solutions tailored to your specific needs:

Bathroom waterproofing

Bathrooms are highly susceptible to moisture damage. We apply durable, high-quality waterproof membranes to protect your floors, walls, and shower areas from leaks and water intrusion.

Shower waterproofing

The shower is one of the most vulnerable areas in your home. We provide complete waterproofing for shower bases, walls, and niches, ensuring a watertight seal that prevents leaks and moisture buildup.

Kitchen & laundry waterproofing

Kitchens and laundries often experience water spills and humidity. We install waterproofing systems that safeguard these areas, preventing water from damaging cabinetry, walls, and flooring.

Pre-tiling waterproofing

Before any tiles are installed, we ensure the surface is fully waterproofed to prevent future issues. Our pre-tiling waterproofing service guarantees a solid foundation for your tiles.


Why Waterproofing Is Essential

Proper waterproofing offers several key benefits for your home:

  • Prevents water damage
    Protects walls, floors, and structural elements from moisture intrusion, reducing the risk of costly repairs.
  • Increases tile longevity
    A waterproofed surface provides a stable foundation, preventing tiles from lifting, cracking, or becoming discolored over time.
  • Stops mold & mildew growth
    Waterproofing eliminates the conditions that promote mold and mildew, keeping your home healthier and safer.
  • Complies with building standards
    Our waterproofing services meet or exceed New Zealand building code requirements, ensuring your home is compliant and protected.

Our waterproofing process

At Tile Church, we follow a meticulous waterproofing process to ensure maximum protection:

  1. Surface Preparation
    We clean and prime the surface, ensuring it’s smooth, dry, and ready for the waterproof membrane.
  2. Application of waterproof membrane
    We apply a high-quality, flexible waterproof membrane to all necessary areas, including corners, joints, and penetrations, to create a continuous barrier.
  3. Sealing & reinforcement
    We seal all edges, seams, and joints, reinforcing vulnerable areas with additional layers of membrane or waterproof tape.
  4. Curing & inspection
    Once the waterproofing layer has cured, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure complete coverage and a watertight seal.
  5. Ready for tiling
    With the waterproofing complete, your surface is ready for tile installation, providing a secure, moisture-resistant foundation.
