Our installation process
Effective waterproofing starts with careful preparation and proven systems. Here is what we do, in order, to create a durable, watertight foundation ready for tiling.
01
We carefully inspect and prepare the substrate, ensuring surfaces are clean, stable and ready for waterproofing. Critical details such as bond breakers, puddle flanges and junction treatments are also installed where required.
02
We use quality LATICRETE systems to provide reliable moisture protection. Latapoxy Moisture Shield is applied where required, followed by Hydro Ban across wet areas to create a durable, watertight barrier.
03
Once the membrane has cured, we complete a detailed inspection to ensure coverage and system requirements are met. Any areas requiring attention are addressed before the surface is approved and ready for tiling.

As a Bathroom Builder on the Sunshine Coast, it’s bloody hard to find tilers who aren’t just “good enough” but actually get so good at their trade that it becomes their craft. When someone hits that level, demand follows and the real challenge is building a team that can hold that line. Darben Tiling has genuinely lifted the standard on the Coast. Not only is the workmanship top tier, but he’s managed to put together a crew who set that same standard on every job. If you’re lucky enough to get Darben Tiling on your project, you’ll see exactly what I mean. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

I recently worked with Darben Tiling on a project in Kawana Island, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. As an interior designer, I really value working with trades who not only understand the vision but also deliver exceptional craftsmanship—and Darben Tiling absolutely delivered. Their team was incredibly proficient, with an eye for detail and a commitment to excellence that showed in every aspect of the finished work. They completed the project right on time, which is such a relief when coordinating with multiple trades. Their admin team was super friendly and communicative, making the whole process seamless from start to finish. I’d highly recommend Darben Tiling to anyone who wants quality tiling work and a great experience all around. Thank you for making this project such a success!Posted on Google![]()

Ben and his team have done a fantastic job of my bathroom tiles. Ben is meticulous from the get go ensuring all preparations were spot on. I chose a mosaic penny round tile for a floor which requires perfect preparation and expertise. Not a job for just any tiler.. No stone was left unturned, everything had to be perfect clearly honoring the reputation they uphold. Ben really knows his stuff and is the best in the business. I had 2 different people recommend Darben Tiling and I'm wrapped I trusted their advice. Many thanks to all the team coming and going who showed respect and courtesy around the home.
