Hi all, 1st timer here. We are currently in the midst of an IP bathroom reno located on the Gold Coast.
To save on costs, we are completing the lions share of the reno ourselves. We have thus far have completed the demolition work ourselves. The layout will stay the same, with updated tiles to floor and walls, including tiled shower. We have a plumber coming in for what repairs etc are needed for plumbing. He has said that we will need to re-waterproof the shower area prior to tiling. He also stated that the waterproofing needs to be completed by an accredited professional to ensure we are covered by insurance. Is this true or is he blowing air up our proverbials? Can waterproofing be done sufficiently DIY? Any feedback/recommendations very welcome.
Cheers
