What’s really involved in fixing a leaking shower
Leaking showers are rarely caused by a single issue. More often, water is seeping through a combination of grout deterioration, failed silicone joints, movement at corners, penetrations, or shower base transitions, before spreading to cause damage elsewhere.
What is commonly included with your Glenwood service:
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.

The main shower leak issues we uncover

Common problems we’re called for:

When the leak is mainly linked to grout or joints, achieving a lasting result often involves grout repair and regrouting and comprehensive sealing and silicone work.
Our step-by-step approach to repairing leaks
On-site inspection (Glenwood)
We check grout, silicone joints, corners, movement, penetrations, and likely failure points—then explain what we’re seeing in plain language.
Diagnose the leak pathway
Where useful, we use tools like thermal imaging and moisture meters to confirm where moisture is tracking (and where it isn’t).
Provide a fixed, upfront quote
You receive a clearly explained scope and a fixed quote on-site, so you can decide comfortably without pressure.
Targeted repair based on 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
We pressure test when appropriate and guide you through what was done, including practical advice to help maintain the repair.

How to avoid having to repair shower leaks again
If you’re weighing up providers for Leaking Shower Repairs in Glenwood, the biggest cost saver is getting the right repair approach from the start. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Are they able to explain how the leak is travelling and why it’s happening, instead of offering a one-size-fits-all reseal?
Clear scope in writing: A clear quote spells out what’s included and excluded, as well as the warranty coverage and limitations.
Tools used appropriately: Pressure testing, moisture checks, and thermal imaging should confirm the issue, not be used as sales tools.
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: Domestic wet-area standards (AS 3740 / NCC) should be considered for all wet-area work, particularly where waterproofing remediation applies.

Questions we frequently receive before booking
Yes, in many situations—especially when the issue is limited to grout or sealant and the structure is sound. Properly identifying where water is tracking is essential before proceeding. If the waterproofing membrane has failed or deeper damage is present, remediation with tile removal may be required.
Many leaking shower repairs can be finished in a single visit, but duration varies based on the fault and any curing or drying time needed. We treat timelines as scope-dependent and confirm them after inspection.
Yes—once the inspection confirms the scope, you’ll receive a fixed quote on-site before any work begins, removing guesswork from pricing.
Most shower leaks are caused by cracked grout, failed silicone joints, tile movement, or ageing waterproofing membranes—most often at corners, penetrations, and shower base transitions. Daily use and moisture gradually worsen these weak points.
We inspect fitting-related leaks, including shower heads and taps, and also assess whether water is escaping beyond the fitting—because there’s often more going on. If the job is plumbing-only, we’ll advise upfront.
Regrouting replaces old or damaged grout between tiles, resealing renews failed silicone joints and edges, and waterproofing repairs target failures in the membrane system below. The appropriate 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 some instances, yes—availability varies based on bookings and repair scope. For urgent leaks, contacting early provides the best opportunity for same-day inspection or quick scheduling.
After-hours or urgent requests may be accommodated where possible, depending on the nature of the work and current scheduling. Some repairs still need proper curing time, so we’ll be clear about what can and can’t be rushed.
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.)
