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.
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
