What the process involves when fixing a leaking shower
Most shower leaks aren’t caused by a single defect. Instead, water commonly escapes through a combination of failed grout, deteriorated silicone joints, corner movement, penetrations, or transitions at the shower base, then spreads to where damage is most likely.
What your Castle Cove service usually includes:
If the inspection finds the leak is linked to membrane failure or a renovation-stage issue, a broader solution may be more appropriate. Find out how that’s handled here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

How to stop shower leaks from coming back
When comparing Leaking Shower Repair providers in Castle Cove, the smartest way to save money is choosing the correct repair the first time. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Can they explain the leak path and likely cause, not just propose a generic reseal?
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: Diagnostic tools like thermal imaging and moisture checks are useful when confirming a pathway, not when used as a sales prop.
Reality about “no tile removal”: A lot of leaks can be fixed without removing tiles, but membrane failure or structural damage can change what’s required.
Compliance awareness: Wet-area repairs should be carried out in line with domestic wet-area standards (AS 3740 / NCC), particularly for waterproofing remediation.

Frequently asked questions before booking
Frequently, yes—when grout or sealant failure is the issue and the structure below remains sound. The priority is confirming how water is travelling before deciding on the repair. If membrane failure or deeper damage is found, tile removal or remediation may be necessary.
Most repairs are often completed in one visit, though the exact timing depends on the issue and required cure or drying periods. While some content suggests repairs can take only hours, timelines are confirmed 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.
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 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 replaces worn grout between tiles, resealing addresses failed silicone at edges and joins, and waterproofing repairs deal with membrane failure beneath the surface. The suitable solution 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—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.)
