Licensed wet-area specialists
Best to look elsewhere if you’re after a “spray and hope” shortcut, need a price without an on-site inspection, or want plumbing-only work excluding wet-area repairs (we’ll be upfront if additional trades are needed).

What goes into fixing a leaking shower
A leaking shower is almost never caused by just one issue. In most cases, water escapes due to a mix of deteriorated grout, failed silicone, corner movement, penetrations, or shower base transitions, before travelling to where it causes the most damage.
What’s typically included in your Ambarvale service:
If the inspection points towards membrane failure or a renovation-stage fault, a wider scope of work may be needed. See how this is addressed here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

The common shower leak issues we regularly uncover
Most Ambarvale shower leaks fall into a few common categories. We’ll determine which applies to your shower and recommend the least disruptive, long-term solution.
Common problems we’re called for:
What we aim to change (outcomes):
When the leak is mainly linked to grout or joints, achieving a lasting result often involves grout repair and regrouting and comprehensive sealing and silicone work.
Our step-by-step approach to leaking shower repairs
Inspect the issue on-site in Ambarvale
We examine grout, silicone joints, corners, movement, penetrations, and likely problem areas, then walk you through our findings in plain language.
Pinpoint the leak pathway
If required, we use tools such as thermal imaging and moisture meters to trace moisture movement and confirm unaffected areas.
Quote (fixed scope, upfront)
You’re presented with a clear scope and fixed quote on-site, letting you decide without feeling rushed.
Repair solution matched to the cause
Depending on the findings, the solution may be targeted resealing or regrouting, joint repairs, or a more extensive waterproofing remediation path.
Testing, then handover
We pressure test where suitable, then walk you through the completed work and provide practical care tips to support long-term results.

How to avoid repeated shower leak problems
If you’re assessing options for Leaking Shower Repairs in Ambarvale, the real money saver is selecting the right repair method upfront. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Can they accurately explain the leak pathway and cause, instead of relying on a generic reseal approach?
Clear scope in writing: Ensure the quote clearly outlines what’s included, what’s excluded, and the warranty coverage details.
Tools used appropriately: Thermal imaging, moisture testing, and pressure checks are effective when they confirm the leak path rather than drive a sale.
Reality about “no tile removal”: While many leaks can be resolved without tile removal, membrane failure or structural issues may require a broader scope.
Compliance awareness: Wet-area repairs should align with AS 3740 and NCC domestic wet-area expectations, especially when remediation work is involved.

Questions we’re commonly asked before booking
Yes, often—particularly when the leak is caused by grout or sealant failure and the underlying structure is sound. Identifying the moisture pathway first is critical. If membrane failure or more serious damage is found, tile removal may be necessary.
In many cases, repairs can be done in a single visit, but the timeframe depends on what has failed and the curing or drying time involved. Although fast repairs are sometimes quoted, we confirm timing after inspection.
Yes—the inspection sets the scope clearly, and you’re given a fixed quote on-site before work starts, rather than paying for assumptions.
Most shower leaks are caused by cracked grout, failed silicone joints, tile movement, or ageing waterproofing membranes—most often at corners, penetrations, and shower base transitions. Daily use and moisture gradually worsen these weak points.
We inspect fitting-related leaks, including shower heads and taps, and also assess whether water is escaping beyond the fitting—because there’s often more going on. If the job is plumbing-only, we’ll advise upfront.
Regrouting means replacing deteriorated grout, resealing involves renewing failed silicone at joins and edges, and waterproofing repairs correct failures in the membrane below the tiles. The right approach depends on how the leak is tracking and the condition behind the tiles.
Hidden leaks often show up as bubbling paint, damp smells, mould, or watermarks on the other side of the bathroom wall. Tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging can help confirm where moisture is tracking before repairs start.
In some instances, yes—availability varies based on bookings and repair scope. For urgent leaks, contacting early provides the best opportunity for 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.)
