What’s actually involved in 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 you can generally expect from your Bonnet Bay service:
If the inspection suggests the leak is linked to membrane failure or a renovation-stage problem, you may be better suited to a broader scope. You can see how that’s handled here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

Our step-by-step repair approach
On-site inspection conducted in Bonnet Bay
We examine grout, silicone joints, corners, movement, penetrations, and typical failure points, and clearly explain what we’re seeing in straightforward language.
Pinpoint the leak pathway
Where beneficial, we use thermal imaging and moisture meters to accurately identify where moisture is moving and where it’s not.
Provide a fixed, upfront quote
You receive a clear scope and fixed quote on-site so you can decide without pressure.
Targeted repair based on the cause
The solution can range from targeted resealing or regrouting and joint repairs through to a more comprehensive waterproofing remediation when required.
Testing and handover
We pressure test as required and take the time to explain what was done, along with practical care tips to help the repair last.

How to avoid ongoing shower leak repairs
If you’re comparing Leaking Shower Repair services in Bonnet Bay, the most effective cost saving is getting the repair type right the first time. 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: The quote should clearly state inclusions, exclusions, and exactly what the warranty does and doesn’t cover.
Tools used appropriately: Thermal imaging / moisture checks / pressure testing are helpful when they’re used to confirm a pathway—not as a sales prop.
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 must align with domestic wet-area requirements under AS 3740 and the NCC, especially where remediation is involved.

Common questions we’re asked before booking
Often the answer is yes, particularly where grout or sealant has failed but the underlying structure is still in good condition. The key is tracing the water path before choosing the fix. If the membrane has failed or damage runs deeper, tile removal may be unavoidable.
In many situations, repairs can be completed in one visit, although timing varies depending on the issue and required drying or curing time. While fast repairs are sometimes mentioned, we confirm timelines 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.
Shower leaks are often caused by grout cracking, silicone joint failure, tile movement, and ageing waterproofing membranes, especially around corners, penetrations, and the shower base. Daily exposure to water and humidity gradually opens leak paths.
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 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.
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.
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.)
