Contractor Licence 364828C If you’re seeing water outside the shower, musty odours, mould, or paint that’s blistering, it’s best to treat it as a “track the leak” issue—not a simple reseal. We offer Leaking Shower Repairs in Hunters Hill that homeowners can rely on: a thorough on-site inspection, a clear breakdown of what’s failing, and a fixed quote before any work begins.
This isn’t for you if you’re looking for a “spray and hope” solution, want pricing before an inspection, or need plumbing-only services with no wet-area rectification (we’ll advise upfront if other trades are required).

What’s required to fix a leaking shower properly
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’s typically included in your Hunters Hill service:
If the inspection shows the leak is connected to membrane failure or a renovation-stage fault, a more comprehensive scope may be required. Learn how that’s handled here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

How to avoid repeated shower leak problems
When choosing between Leaking Shower Repair providers in Hunters Hill, the greatest money saver is selecting the correct repair type from the beginning. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Do they take the time to explain the leak path and underlying cause, rather than offering a generic reseal?
Clear scope in writing: The quote should spell out what’s included and excluded, and what the warranty covers (and doesn’t).
Tools used appropriately: Thermal imaging, moisture testing, and pressure checks are effective when they confirm the leak path rather than drive a sale.
Reality about “no tile removal”: Many leaks don’t require tile removal, however membrane failure or structural damage may change the repair scope.
Compliance awareness: Wet-area works should meet domestic wet-area expectations under AS 3740 and the NCC, particularly where waterproofing remediation is required.

Identifying hidden shower leaks (early signs, simple checks, and when to escalate) and what shower waterproofing failure and compliance look like
Common questions we’re asked before booking
Often, yes—particularly when grout or sealant failure is the cause and the structure beneath is still sound. The key is identifying where water is tracking before selecting the repair. If the membrane has failed or deeper damage exists, tile removal or remediation may be needed.
Many repairs can be completed in a single visit, but timing depends on what’s failed and what cure/drying time is needed. Some on-site content references fast repairs (often a few hours), but we treat timelines as scope-dependent and confirm after inspection.
Yes—the inspection allows us to define the scope correctly, then issue a fixed quote on-site before commencing work, avoiding guesswork pricing.
Common contributors include cracked grout, failed silicone joints, tile movement, and ageing waterproofing membranes, particularly at corners, penetrations, and transitions at the shower base. Daily use and humidity gradually allow moisture to escape over time.
We can check fitting-related leaks such as dripping shower heads or taps, and also investigate whether water is tracking elsewhere, as the fitting may not be the only cause. If plumbing-only work is needed, we’ll tell you upfront.
With regrouting, deteriorated grout is replaced; resealing involves renewing failed silicone at joins and edges; and waterproofing repairs address membrane failure beneath the tiles. The correct choice depends on where the leak is travelling and the condition behind the tiles.
Typical signs of hidden leaks include bubbling paint, persistent damp smells, mould, or watermarks appearing on nearby walls. Thermal imaging and moisture meters are useful for confirming moisture tracking ahead of repairs.
In some cases, yes—availability depends on current bookings and the scope of work. For urgent issues, contacting us early gives the best chance of same-day 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.)
