A legacy of trust and experience underpins the Megasealed business. Its three-decade history is built on a simple idea – a no-fuss solution to fix leaking bathrooms and balconies.

Frustrated by ineffective industry sealants and costly patchwork repairs, bathroom renovations expert Jacques Courtin spent years refining an epoxy solution specifically for harsh Australian conditions. 

Jacques debuted the Megasealed brand in 1996 as the first specialised stop-leak service for bathrooms and balconies. The pioneering model was an immediate success, expanding nationwide within just six months.

Megasealed shifted to a franchise-led model in 2014 which has fuelled the brand’s consistent growth and network expansion.

“Our method of repair removes the need to renovate,” franchise development manager Andrew Lotter explains. “We can repair a leaking balcony without any demolition. It’s non-destructive, significantly cheaper, and allows for a 24-hour return to service.” 

This efficiency is a massive drawcard for homeowners, and the real estate sector and landlords who value quick operational turnaround.

And when a technician walks into a home, they carry proprietary products engineered specifically for the Megasealed system, providing an unmatched level of quality assurance.

New model is an ideal pathway to business ownership

It’s an appealing business model, and one that offers a flexible entry point into business ownership. While the brand was built on multi-territory powerhouses (some owners manage 24 territories) there is an exciting new business option.

The single operator model is an ideal pathway for anyone who is looking for a career change. 

Andrew prioritises strong communication and sales skills in new franchisees.

“We look for people who can walk into a home, fix the problem, and have the confidence to ask for the business,” he says.

Megasealed offers an in-demand service, so franchisees can start with customers from day one. A centralised call-centre generates leads and distributes them according to postcodes.

And there’s ongoing support at every stage as franchisees build and grow their business.

Training and support underpin business success

To be fully prepared for this, franchisees undertake a three-week onboarding program. New franchisees learn alongside experienced technicians, both in-house and within their own territory. 

In-situ training in areas like bathroom restoration, regrouting, and waterproofing takes place in the brand’s warehouse facilities across Victoria and New South Wales.

There’s a library of in-house training videos and content too.

Structured sales and inspection training backs up this valuable learning, so every franchisee can assess a job and carry out the work with confidence. 

Megasealed equips franchisees with all the digital tools they need to function as high-performing business owners.

“We have full technology support, a full quoting and scheduling system that links into Xero, customised to our needs,” Andrew reveals.

Franchisees can turn to in-house experts for ongoing extra support, whether that’s for technical advice or local area marketing guidance.

Andrew is laser-focused on delivering robust business support. He conducts regular reviews of sales and performance, helps franchisees with budgets and uses crucial data to adjust and develop business plans. 

Whether the goal is to enjoy a lifestyle balance, working three-to-four days a week, or to scale up to manage a fleet of contractors and sales staff, the territory structure supports growth. 

“We want to see people be successful and create a great career with Megasealed,” Andrew says.
