What’s actually required to repair 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 is commonly included with your Bungarribee service:
Where the inspection points to membrane failure or a renovation-stage issue, a wider scope may be the better fit. See how this is managed here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

Our step-by-step repair approach
Inspect on location in Bungarribee
We assess grout, silicone joints, corners, movement, penetrations, and probable failure points, and explain what’s happening in straightforward terms.
Confirm the leak pathway

How to prevent repeat shower leak repairs
If you’re deciding between providers for Leaking Shower Repairs in Bungarribee, the key to saving money is selecting the right repair from the outset. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Can they clearly explain the leak path and probable cause, rather than defaulting 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: When used correctly, thermal imaging and moisture checks help confirm a pathway—not serve as a sales gimmick.
Reality about “no tile removal”: Many leaks are repairable without removing tiles, however membrane failure or structural damage can alter the 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’re usually 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.
Many repairs can be handled in one visit, but timing varies based on what’s failed and the curing or drying time involved. Rather than relying on generic timeframes, we confirm after 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 shower leaks arise from cracked grout, worn silicone joints, tile movement, and ageing waterproofing membranes—most commonly at corners, penetrations, and shower base transitions. Regular use and humidity slowly worsen these areas.
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 damaged grout, resealing restores failed silicone joints and edges, and waterproofing repairs address issues in the underlying membrane system. The best option depends on the leak pathway and the condition 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.
In certain situations, yes—availability depends on bookings and the complexity of the repair. For urgent matters, contacting early helps maximise the chance of same-day inspection or quick scheduling.
Where feasible, urgent or after-hours enquiries may be accommodated based on the work required and scheduling. Certain repair steps need proper cure time, and we’ll be transparent about any constraints.
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.)
