Services & prices

Wet area waterproofing, priced honestly and scoped in writing

Every HydroForce price below is an indicative starting point for a South East Queensland job. We inspect on site, confirm which zones the standard requires us to treat, then issue a fixed written quote within 24 hours with nothing left open to interpretation.

HydroForce waterproofing a wet area before tiling
Core services

Four wet area services, one documented method

Prices shown are typical starting points for a single standard wet area including certification.

Bathroom wet area membrane installed by HydroForce

Bathroom Waterproofing

From $780 per bathroom

Full wet area system for renovations and new builds: floors, hobs, shower walls, junctions and every penetration, flood tested and certified.

  • Substrate prep, priming and fall check
  • Bond breakers, bandage and collars to all penetrations
  • Two measured membrane coats plus 24 hour flood test
Shower enclosure waterproofed with reinforced corners

Shower Waterproofing

From $480 per shower

Step down, hobbed and hobless showers sealed with reinforced corners, correct falls to waste and a full flood test before the tiler starts.

  • Puddle flange and waste detailing verified
  • Niches, mixer bodies and rail fixings collared
  • Screed correction quoted where falls are wrong
Internal laundry prepared for waterproof membrane

Laundry Waterproofing

From $420 per laundry

Internal and upper level laundries treated as a containment problem, not a splash problem, so a burst hose never becomes a house wide flood.

  • Continuous perimeter junction with required wall rise
  • Machine inlet and waste penetrations collared
  • Floor fall to waste verified rather than assumed
Commercial waterproofing program on a multi level project

Commercial Waterproofing

Priced per measured scope

Multi unit wet areas, balconies, podium decks, planter boxes, plant rooms and commercial amenities delivered as a documented program.

  • AS 3740 internal and AS 4654 external systems
  • Staged scheduling, inductions and hold points
  • Progressive certification by area, not one batch at the end
Repairs & extras

Additional work we are regularly asked to quote

Often bundled into a larger scope, which reduces mobilisation cost on the day.

Pricing

What moves the price up or down

We price on site, never over the phone. These are the variables that matter on a Queensland wet area.

FactorWhy it matters
Wet area size and layoutA compact ensuite with one wet zone is faster than a large family bathroom with a separate shower, freestanding bath and wall hung vanity that all need detailing.
Substrate type and conditionA sound concrete slab primes and coats quickly. Timber floors, compressed sheet, patched screeds and mixed substrates need extra preparation and sometimes a different primer.
Ground floor or upper levelUpper storey wet areas and rooms over habitable space attract a larger waterproofed footprint under the standard, so more material and more labour.
Number of penetrationsEvery waste, tap set, mixer body, niche and rail fixing is a separate detail that has to be collared and sealed individually.
Access and site conditionsUnit access, stairs only, restricted parking and shared building constraints all add time, which we price honestly up front rather than claim later.
Repair versus new buildNew work is straightforward. Remediating a failure means demolition, drying, substrate repair and sometimes rectification before the membrane can go down.
