Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Jan 01, 2024 10:05 pm Hello I have a large garage (90m2) that is currently bare double brick. The garage was built with plumbing for hot and cold water, a grey water drain and a black water drain. I guess the original owner was considering one day putting in an extra toilet, bathroom or laundry. It currently only has a simple and cheap sink attached to the plumbing and the blackwater is capped off. There is about 0.8m2 of tiles above the basin. It is a basic splash back and I doubt there is any waterproofing under the tiles as the sides of the sink are all bare brick. I am about to start some garage renovations which includes getting the internal walls rendered. I’m leaning towards acrylic render. I will be removing the existing basin and tiles. I’m not exactly sure what we will put back in place of the sink, perhaps a much bigger one, maybe one of those big dog wash tubs. It won’t be a shower or toilet. It may be a year between getting the render done and figuring out what to do with the sink. So I can start planning, my question is this. What do I do about waterproofing? Can I just render now and put waterproofing over the render later or do I need to do some waterproofing before the render goes down? Does it need waterproofing at all? Thanks Re: Waterproofing in a rendered garage 2Jan 02, 2024 1:48 am Just render and then waterproof at a later date in the required area.

However, it's important to waterproof areas prone to moisture, especially around sinks and water outlets, to prevent water damage and mold growth. When ready, ensure waterproofing is applied correctly over the rendered surface following local building codes and standards. Waterproofing before rendering is not necessary unless the existing structure has significant water ingress issues. Maark Bathware creates mood enhancing bathroom products.
