What’s involved when repairing a leaking shower
A leaking shower is almost always the result of multiple contributing factors. Water often escapes through failing grout, worn silicone joints, movement at corners, penetrations, or shower base transitions, before finding its way to vulnerable areas.
What your Alfords Point service usually includes:
If the inspection confirms the leak stems from membrane failure or a renovation-stage problem, a more extensive scope could be required. You can review how that’s handled here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

Our step-by-step approach to repairing leaks
On-site inspection carried out in Alfords Point
We carefully check grout, silicone joints, corners, movement, penetrations, and known failure points, and explain what we’re seeing in clear language.
Track and diagnose the leak pathway
Where appropriate, we use tools such as thermal imaging and moisture meters to confirm where moisture is travelling—and where it’s not.
Provide an upfront, fixed-scope quote
We provide a clear scope and fixed quote on-site, giving you the space to decide without pressure.
Cause-driven repair approach
The recommended solution could be targeted resealing or regrouting, joint repairs, or a more involved waterproofing remediation approach if necessary.
Testing and final handover
When required, we pressure test and clearly explain what’s been done, along with care advice to help the repair stand the test of time.

How to ensure shower leaks don’t recur
If you’re assessing options for Leaking Shower Repairs in Alfords Point, the real money saver is selecting the right repair method upfront. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Can they pinpoint and explain the leak’s cause and pathway, instead of proposing a generic reseal solution?
Clear scope in writing: The quote should clearly outline what’s included, what’s excluded, and exactly what the warranty covers—and doesn’t.
Tools used appropriately: Diagnostic tools like thermal imaging and moisture checks are useful when confirming a pathway, not when used as a sales prop.
Reality about “no tile removal”: Tile removal isn’t always needed, but membrane failure or structural damage can mean a more involved scope.
Compliance awareness: Wet-area repairs should be carried out in line with domestic wet-area standards (AS 3740 / NCC), particularly for waterproofing remediation.

Questions we frequently receive before booking
In most cases, yes—when grout or sealant failure is the primary issue and the underlying structure hasn’t been compromised. Confirming the leak path is crucial before selecting the repair. If membrane failure or structural damage is involved, tile removal may be needed.
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 is used to properly define the scope, and you’re provided with a fixed on-site quote before any work starts, so there’s no guesswork.
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 review fitting-related leaks like dripping shower heads or taps and confirm whether water is escaping in other areas, as the issue may go beyond the fitting. If plumbing-only work applies, we’ll advise upfront.
Regrouting involves replacing damaged grout, resealing replaces failed silicone at joints and edges, and waterproofing repairs resolve problems with the membrane beneath the tiles. Which option is right depends on the leak pathway and the condition behind the tiles.
Hidden leaks are often indicated by bubbling paint, mould, damp odours, or water stains on the wall behind the bathroom. Diagnostic tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging help confirm moisture pathways before starting repairs.
Sometimes—availability varies based on existing bookings and the scope of the repair. If it’s urgent, getting in touch early improves your chances of a same-day inspection or quick 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.)
