The Effectiveness of the Budget Seal™ Service
We use high-performance epoxy grout and advanced sealing solutions that resist moisture, cleaning chemicals, and everyday wear in our targeted waterproofing service. This ensures your shower stays watertight, preventing future leaks, mould, and costly repairs.
The Advantage of Epoxy vs Cement for Showers
Epoxy Grouting
- Strong and durable
- Water resistant
- Non-porous (no holes)
- Stain, crack and chemical resistant
- Does not crumble
- Long lasting (up to 10 – 25 years or more)
Cement Grouting
- More fluid in applications
- Porous in nature (lots of holes) which means more susceptible to water
- Susceptible to mould and mildew
- Has a tendency to weaken and crumble over time
- Lasts 6 months (before needing re-applications)
Epoxy is the superior product for shower sealing that protects your shower’s waterproofing layer, but it takes a fine hand to administer the application properly. So that it is both functional and looks beautiful in your bathroom.

We get it, you want to make sure it’s worth it. We don’t charge for unnecessary work. Some waterproofing companies might recommend a full bathroom reno for a leak – we focus on targeted repairs that are more affordable and just as effective.

Are you allowed to DIY Waterproofing? Yes, but here’s why you shouldn’t
For those who try to tack on as much DIY work as possible in their home, you might be asking, ‘what’s stopping me from just waterproofing my shower myself?’ You might assume it’s illegal, but actually—it’s not. In the state of Victoria, you’re allowed to do it yourself.
As long as it passes extensive standards when put under the scrutiny of a licensed inspector. However it’s not easy—do it wrong and you’re risking failing building compliance, penalties, losing out on insurance claims and endangering the security against water damage that waterproofing membranes are there for. There are professional waterproofing technicians out there on the market for a reason.
We Offer All Types of Shower Waterproofing Services
Shower Regrouting
The classic fix for a lot of shower leaks and water damage issues. If there’s mould, mildew, staining, loose tiles or missing sections from your grout lines, you can bet shower regrouting will be enough to solve the issue. This gives you a cleaner, fresher look for your shower and helps protect the waterproofing barrier for lasting strength for your shower walls and floors.
Shower Tile Repairs and Retiling
Broken tiles can sometimes be repaired with adhesive. In other cases, it’s necessary to replace tiles. However, our experts at Budget Seal are great at bringing the scope of work in this area to a precise, cost-efficient solution. Saving you from extra and invasive work, and keeping more dollars in your pocket.
Applying 5 Different Types of Shower Waterproofing Membranes & More!
Sheet Membranes
Strong, durable, and easy to install with a “peel-and-stick” application. Ideal for even surface coverage. Sheet membranes are higher in strength than liquid membranes, and it’s easier to get even results.
Liquid Membranes
Applied with a paint roller for a flexible, seamless seal. Liquid membranes are more versatile in application and elastic. It’s not as strong as sheet membrane, but its ease of application makes it ideal for smaller and intricate applications.
Foam Wallboards
This approach provides the benefits of both waterproofing, and strengthening the shower’s structure. It’s crafted from an extruded polystyrene foam.
Foam Shower Bases
Crafted from the same materials as foam wallboards, this is essentially the “shower base version.”
Epoxy Coating Base
A modern solution that creates a strong, water-resistant barrier against leaks. It involves the application of epoxy to act as a barrier to water penetration.
These are just some examples of popular waterproofing membranes for showers. Finding yourself a little overwhelmed by detail? Don’t worry. We always take a tailored approach to waterproofing your shower walls and floors in Melbourne.
