Water damage is one of the most expensive problems a property can develop — and most of it starts with waterproofing that was skipped, rushed, or done with the wrong product. Lotus Property Services installs professional waterproofing and precision tiling across Hamilton and Waikato, protecting your bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, and wet areas from the inside out.
What We Do
From bathrooms and wet areas to balconies, laundries, and outdoor courtyards — we waterproof and tile to a standard that protects your property and looks great doing it.
Water intrusion causes rot, mould, structural damage, and costly repairs. We install industry-grade waterproofing membranes inside and outside your property, using products rated for New Zealand's climate and building code requirements.
Kitchen and laundry tiles take a hard everyday hit — heat, moisture, spills, and heavy use. We lay tiles precisely and finish them to a standard that holds up over years of daily use, in a style that suits your home.
Outdoor tiled surfaces need to be laid correctly with adequate drainage and the right substrate preparation — otherwise they crack, lift, and let water in. We tile balconies and courtyards built for Waikato's conditions and designed to last.
Cracked, chipped, or loose tiles are more than cosmetic — they can let water behind the wall and cause serious damage over time. We repair and replace individual tiles or entire areas, matching the existing style as closely as possible.
A well-tiled bathroom adds real value to your home. We tile bathrooms across Hamilton and Waikato — full renovations and new builds — from floor to ceiling, including showers, baths, vanity areas, and feature walls.
Building new or mid-renovation? We work alongside builders, GIB installers, and project managers across Hamilton and Waikato to schedule tiling at the right stage of your build — keeping your project on time and delivering a finish that holds up.
Waterproofing done wrong is invisible until the damage shows up — often years later and always expensive. Here’s how we make sure that doesn’t happen.
We never skip or shortcut the waterproofing step to save time. It's the most critical part of any wet area job — and the one that causes the most expensive problems when it's done wrong. We use industry-grade membranes and apply them correctly, every time.
Good tiling is about more than laying tiles flat. It's about consistent spacing, level lines, clean grout joints, and a finish that looks intentional. We take the time to get it right — because a poorly tiled room is the first thing you notice every day.
We only use waterproofing products and adhesives rated for New Zealand's climate and building code. Waikato properties deal with moisture, temperature variation, and movement — we spec and install accordingly so the work lasts.
Waterproofing and Tiling Hamilton
In New Zealand, wet area waterproofing is a building code requirement — not optional. But more than compliance, proper waterproofing is the difference between a bathroom that stays sound for 20 years and one that starts rotting behind the tiles after five.
We work with a wide range of tile styles and formats — from large-format floor tiles to mosaic feature walls — and can advise on what works best for your space, your budget, and your build timeline.

FAQs
Here are the questions we hear most often before a waterproofing or tiling job gets underway.
Yes — in New Zealand, waterproofing wet areas is required under the Building Code (NZS 4229 and E3 External Moisture). Tiling without a waterproof membrane underneath means water will eventually get through grout lines and joints, leading to rot, mould, and structural damage. We always waterproof correctly before tiling any wet area.
Most waterproofing membranes require a minimum of 24–48 hours to fully cure before tiling can begin. Some products and conditions may require longer. We factor curing time into the project schedule so there's no temptation to rush — proper curing is non-negotiable for a waterproofing job that actually works.
We'll do our best to match existing tiles as closely as possible. If you have spare tiles from the original installation, that's the easiest option. If not, we can help source a close match from suppliers. For older or discontinued tile ranges, a close match may not always be possible — in those cases, we'll be upfront with you about the options before starting work.
Yes. Outdoor tiling requires specific preparation — correct substrate, adequate drainage fall, and appropriate waterproofing underneath — especially in Waikato's wet climate. We tile balconies, courtyards, and outdoor entertaining areas with slip-resistant tiles suited to outdoor use, installed with the drainage and waterproofing to match.
Yes — new builds and renovations are a large part of our work. We coordinate with builders, GIB installers, and other trades across Hamilton and the wider Waikato to schedule waterproofing and tiling at the right stage of your project. We can also combine this service with our GIB installation, plastering, and home renovation services for a fully managed finish.
