      Hi Guys,

      NSW here. Just got an invoice to fix the waterproofing in the shower of a unit in our block of units. To me it seems like a mix of OC and Owner responsibility. Can you please advise.

      Re-grout the walls of the shower recess – these are internal walls so owner?

      Seal and waterproof junctions – wall junctions, owner?

      Seal the floor waste – OC?

      The shower screen within the shower will be sealed – owner?

      Seal behind the taps – owner?

      As I understand it, unless it is the floor or a boundary wall, these repairs are at the owners cost?

      Thanks for your time.

        Without going into too much detail, and using the SCA’s “who’s responsible?” factsheet as a guide, the answers are as follows”

        Re-grout the walls of the shower recess – these are internal walls so owner? – YES

        Seal and waterproof junctions – wall junctions, owner? YES (if all walls are internal and not abutting common property or another lot)

        Seal the floor waste – OC? YES

        The shower screen within the shower will be sealed – owner? YES

        Seal behind the taps – owner? YES

        As I understand it, unless it is the floor or a boundary wall, these repairs are at the owners cost? Correct

            Hi Jimmy

            Still in NSW. We have a similar situation with one of our units.  

            Does the above mix of responsibility apply to our Strata Plan registered in 1965?
