Your Trusted Experts for Leaking Shower Repairs - Nearly Two Decades of Experience in Melbourne

Our initial step in resolving a leaking shower is to pinpoint the exact source of the problem. If the leak originates from the shower head, a straightforward repair or replacement is usually sufficient. For traditional hot and cold water taps, we perform a comprehensive leaking tap repair service. This involves replacing and restoring all seals and washers to effectively stop the leak. If the taps are beyond repair, we offer professional replacement services. In the case of shower mixer taps, we address leaks by replacing the mixer cartridge, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting solution.

Using advanced techniques, we locate and repair leaks within your shower’s plumbing system, even those hidden behind walls. When you notice dampness or water stains on walls adjacent to the shower, it generally indicates that the shower leak is caused by either damaged in-wall piping or a faulty tap installation/repair job. Our expert plumbers will accurately diagnose the source and provide the necessary repairs. Our advanced equipment facilitates accurate shower leak detection, enabling us to pinpoint hidden issues.

If you’re noticing mould or mildew growth, or a persistent damp, musty smell in your shower, it’s a strong indication that moisture has penetrated behind the tiles and potentially into the plasterboard or flooring. This is often caused by aged or damaged grout and tiles. While regrouting and replacing a few cracked tiles can sometimes resolve the immediate leak and prevent further damage, we prioritise the health and safety of your family. Crucially, if mould is present within the walls or flooring structure, it poses a serious health risk. In these cases, we strongly recommend a complete shower area restoration. This comprehensive restoration involves removing the old tiles, plasterboard, and shower base, and rebuilding your shower from the ground up, ensuring a fresh, healthy, and long-lasting solution. A complete shower restoration is a much more cost-effective option than undertaking a full bathroom renovation and is typically completed within five working days from start to finish, minimising inconvenience for your household. We specialise in comprehensive shower tiling repairs, addressing both aesthetic and functional issues. This full restoration process will include new bathroom waterproofing to ensure a long term solution.

Shower bases come in two main types: polymarble and tiled. The cause of a leak depends on which type you have. Polymarble Shower Bases: Leaks are typically caused by cracks in the base itself or a failure in the drain connection. Tiled Shower Bases: Leaks are often due to aged or damaged tiling, compromised waterproofing, a faulty drain outlet, or a drain connection issue. In both cases, you’ll likely notice the leak as water stains on the ceiling directly below the shower in double-storey homes, or as water damage around the base perimeter in single-storey homes. Our plumbers will diagnose the specific source of the leak and provide the necessary repairs to ensure a permanent solution.
