What’s involved in addressing a leaking shower
A leaking shower is almost always the result of multiple contributing factors. Water often escapes through failing grout, worn silicone joints, movement at corners, penetrations, or shower base transitions, before finding its way to vulnerable areas.
What your Duffys Forest service normally includes:
Where inspection results link the leak to membrane failure or renovation-stage works, a broader scope may be the right approach. Learn more here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

How to avoid recurring shower leak repairs
When comparing Leaking Shower Repair options in Duffys Forest, the best way to avoid unnecessary costs is choosing the right repair type first. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Do they explain the source and path of the leak, not just recommend a basic 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: These tools are most effective when confirming a moisture pathway, not when used as a sales aid.
Reality about “no tile removal”: Tile removal isn’t always needed, but membrane failure or structural damage can mean a more involved scope.
Compliance awareness: Any wet-area remediation should be completed in line with AS 3740 and NCC wet-area requirements.

Questions people often ask before booking
In many cases, yes—especially if the problem is failed grout or sealant and the underlying structure is intact. Confirming the moisture path before choosing the solution is critical. If the waterproofing membrane has failed or damage is more extensive, tile removal may be required.
Often, repairs can be completed during one visit, however timing depends on what’s failed and how long materials need to cure or dry. Despite claims of quick repairs, we confirm realistic timelines after inspection.
Yes—your inspection is used to define the scope properly, then you receive a fixed quote on-site before work begins. That way you’re not paying for guesswork.
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.
Signs of hidden leaks often include bubbling paint, damp smells, mould, or water marks appearing on the adjoining wall. Diagnostic tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging help confirm where moisture is travelling before repairs.
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 possible, after-hours or urgent jobs may be accommodated depending on the work involved and availability. Some repair stages can’t be rushed due to curing requirements, and we’ll explain this clearly.
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.)
