Cost of waterproofing in Cape Town
Waterproofing may be lump-sum per detail (balcony, planter) or per m² on larger trays.
Sheet or liquid systems on accessible slabs often trend R180–R450/m² before finishes reinstate.
Published ranges are marketing guides only, not quotations. We confirm pricing after substrate inspection and scope lock.
Stopping ingress beats repeating cosmetics, we price trays and interfaces separately from finishes.
