What goes into fixing a leaking shower
It’s uncommon for a leaking shower to have only one cause. Typically, water is getting through a combination of grout failure, worn silicone joints, corner movement, penetrations, or transitions at the shower base, before migrating to where damage occurs.
What your Bangor service normally includes:
Should the inspection suggest membrane failure or a renovation-stage problem, you may be better suited to a broader scope of works. Details are outlined here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

Our step-by-step approach to leaking shower repairs
On-site inspection carried out in Bangor
We examine grout, silicone joints, corners, movement, penetrations, and likely problem areas, then walk you through our findings in plain language.
Identify the moisture pathway
When appropriate, we use diagnostic tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters to confirm moisture paths and non-affected areas.
Fixed-scope pricing quoted upfront
You receive a transparent scope of work and a fixed on-site quote, allowing you to decide in your own time.
Repair solution matched to the cause
The solution may be as simple as targeted resealing or regrouting and joint repairs, or as comprehensive as full waterproofing remediation when required.
Completion testing and handover
Where applicable, we perform pressure testing and explain the work carried out, as well as offering care tips to help the repair last.

How to avoid repeated shower leak problems
If you’re comparing Leaking Shower Repair services in Bangor, the most effective cost saving is getting the repair type right the first time. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Can they walk you through the leak path and likely cause, rather than jumping straight to a generic reseal?
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 meters, and pressure testing should be used to verify the leak path, not to upsell work.
Reality about “no tile removal”: Many leaks are fixable without tile removal, but membrane failure or structural damage can shift the scope of works.
Compliance awareness: Wet-area work should be consistent with domestic wet-area standards under AS 3740 and the NCC, particularly where waterproofing remediation is undertaken.

Questions we’re often 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.
While many repairs can be completed in a single visit, the timeframe ultimately depends on the issue and required curing or drying time. We treat all timelines as scope-dependent and confirm them following inspection.
Yes—the scope is confirmed through inspection, followed by a fixed on-site quote before work begins, so costs are based on facts, not guesswork.
Typical causes include cracked grout, deteriorated silicone joints, tile movement, and ageing waterproofing membranes, particularly around corners, penetrations, and shower base transitions. Ongoing use and humidity slowly create small leak paths.
We can assess fitting-related leaks, including shower heads and taps, and check for other sources of water escape—because the fitting is often only part of the problem. If plumbing-only work is needed, we’ll be upfront about it.
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.
Hidden leaks commonly present as bubbling paint, musty odours, mould growth, or water staining on the opposite side of the bathroom wall. Moisture meters and thermal imaging can help confirm moisture pathways before repairs begin.
Sometimes—whether same-day service is possible depends on the day’s bookings and the job scope. If it’s urgent, early contact gives you the best chance of prompt inspection or scheduling.
After-hours or urgent assistance may be available where feasible, based on the scope of work and scheduling. As some repairs require proper curing, we’ll clearly explain what can and can’t be accelerated.
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.)
