What’s actually involved in fixing a leaking shower
Leaking showers are rarely caused by a single issue. More often, water is seeping through a combination of grout deterioration, failed silicone joints, movement at corners, penetrations, or shower base transitions, before spreading to cause damage elsewhere.
What your Acacia Gardens service normally includes:
Should the inspection reveal the leak is due to membrane failure or a renovation-stage issue, a broader scope may be the better option. You can see how that’s handled here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

Our step-by-step repair process
Inspect (Acacia Gardens on-site)
We check grout, silicone joints, corners, movement, penetrations, and likely failure points—then explain what we’re seeing in plain language.
Identify the moisture pathway
When it adds value, we use thermal imaging and moisture meters to confirm moisture pathways and identify where moisture is not present.
Upfront pricing with a fixed scope
You’re presented with a clear scope and fixed quote on-site, letting you decide without feeling rushed.
Repair tailored to the cause
Depending on the issue, the solution could be targeted resealing and regrouting, joint repairs, or a more involved waterproofing remediation approach if required.

How to stop shower leaks from coming back
If you’re deciding between providers for Leaking Shower Repairs in Acacia Gardens, the key to saving money is selecting the right repair from the outset. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Can they identify and explain the leak pathway and root cause, not simply suggest a standard reseal?
Clear scope in writing: The quote should spell out what’s included and excluded, and what the warranty covers (and doesn’t).
Tools used appropriately: Diagnostic tools should support pathway confirmation, not be used as a sales prop to justify generic repairs.
Reality about “no tile removal”: In many cases, leaks can be fixed without removing tiles, but membrane failure or structural issues may affect the approach.
Compliance awareness: Wet-area works should comply with AS 3740 and NCC guidance, especially in cases involving waterproofing remediation.

Common booking questions we’re asked
In many instances, yes—especially if grout or sealant failure is to blame and the structure is still sound. The most important step is confirming where water is tracking before fixing it. If the waterproofing membrane has failed or there’s deeper damage, tile removal or remediation may be required.
Most leaking shower repairs are achievable in a single visit, but the actual duration depends on the fault and any cure or drying requirements. We confirm timing once the inspection is complete.
Yes—the inspection allows us to define the scope correctly, then issue a fixed quote on-site before commencing work, avoiding guesswork pricing.
Frequent causes include cracked grout, deteriorated silicone joints, tile movement, and ageing waterproofing membranes, most often at corners, penetrations, and shower base transitions. Ongoing exposure to moisture gradually opens leak pathways.
We assess fitting-related issues such as dripping shower heads or taps, while also checking if water is escaping elsewhere—because the fitting isn’t always the whole problem. If plumbing-only work is needed, we’ll advise you upfront.
Regrouting replaces deteriorated grout between tiles. Resealing replaces failed silicone at joins and edges. Waterproofing repairs address failure in the underlying membrane system that protects the structure beneath the tiles. The right option depends on the leak pathway and the condition behind the tiles.
Hidden leaks can reveal themselves through bubbling paint, persistent damp smells, mould, or watermarks on the wall behind the bathroom. Moisture meters and thermal imaging are useful for confirming moisture tracking prior to repair work.
In some cases, yes—availability depends on current bookings and the scope of work. For urgent issues, contacting us early gives the best chance of same-day inspection or rapid scheduling.
After-hours or urgent support may be offered in certain situations, depending on the scope and schedule. As some repairs require proper curing, we’ll be honest about what’s achievable.
Written warranty options may be available, and the duration/coverage depends on the scope of work and required maintenance. We recommend confirming inclusions and exclusions in writing before work begins so you can compare like-for-like. (Your site references written warranties and long warranty periods, so the page should avoid vague “lifetime” wording.)
