What’s actually required to repair 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 you can expect your Arndell Park service to include:
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 Arndell Park
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
Where needed, we rely on tools including thermal imaging and moisture meters to pinpoint moisture movement and rule out unaffected areas.
Fixed-scope pricing quoted upfront

How to avoid repeated shower leak problems
When comparing Leaking Shower Repair options in Arndell Park, the best way to avoid unnecessary costs is choosing the right repair type first. 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: Does the quote clearly detail what’s included and excluded, along with what the warranty covers and what it doesn’t?
Tools used appropriately: Thermal imaging, moisture meters, and pressure testing should be used to verify the leak path, not to upsell work.
Reality about “no tile removal”: Most leaks can be addressed without tile removal, though membrane failure or structural damage may require a broader solution.
Compliance awareness: Wet-area works should meet domestic wet-area expectations under AS 3740 and the NCC, particularly where waterproofing remediation is required.

Questions we’re regularly asked before booking
Often, yes—especially when the issue is grout or sealant failure and the underlying structure is sound. The key is confirming where water is tracking before choosing the fix. If the waterproofing membrane has failed or there’s deeper damage, tile removal/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 sets the scope clearly, and you’re given a fixed quote on-site before work starts, rather than paying for assumptions.
Common issues include grout cracking, silicone joint failure, tile movement, and ageing waterproofing membranes, especially at corners, penetrations, and transitions at the shower base. Regular use and humidity slowly open up leak paths.
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 involves replacing worn or damaged grout between tiles, while resealing replaces failed silicone at joints and edges. Waterproofing repairs deal with failures in the underlying membrane protecting the structure. The correct approach depends on the leak path and what’s happening behind the tiles.
Common indicators of a hidden leak include bubbling paint, mould, damp odours, or water staining on the other side of the bathroom wall. Tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters help verify moisture paths before repairs start.
Sometimes—same-day availability depends on current bookings and the nature of the repair. Reaching out early improves the chances of urgent inspection or rapid scheduling.
Urgent or after-hours enquiries may be possible depending on the type of repair and existing bookings. Some steps still need adequate cure time, so we’ll be upfront about realistic timeframes.
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.)
