What’s involved when repairing a leaking shower
A shower that’s leaking is usually affected by more than one fault. In most cases, water escapes via compromised grout, failing silicone joints, corner movement, penetrations, or transitions at the shower base, then travels to where it can do the most harm.
What you can expect your Kurraba Point service to include:
If the inspection confirms the leak stems from membrane failure or a renovation-stage problem, a more extensive scope could be required. You can review how that’s handled here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

How to avoid ongoing shower leak repairs
If you’re assessing options for Leaking Shower Repairs in Kurraba Point, the real money saver is selecting the right repair method upfront. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Can they accurately explain the leak pathway and cause, instead of relying on a generic reseal approach?
Clear scope in writing: The quote should leave no doubt about inclusions, exclusions, and warranty coverage.
Tools used appropriately: Diagnostic tools should support pathway confirmation, not be used as a sales prop to justify generic repairs.
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: Wet-area work should align with domestic wet-area expectations (AS 3740 / NCC context), especially where waterproofing remediation is involved.

Questions we’re commonly asked before booking
Often, yes—when grout or sealant failure is the issue and the underlying structure remains intact. The key is accurately confirming the water path before choosing the repair. If the membrane has failed or deeper damage is present, tile removal or remediation may be required.
In many cases, repairs can be done in a single visit, but the timeframe depends on what has failed and the curing or drying time involved. Although fast repairs are sometimes quoted, we confirm timing after inspection.
Yes—after inspecting the issue to define the scope accurately, you’ll receive a fixed quote on-site before any work starts.
In many cases, shower leaks stem from cracked grout, failed silicone joints, tile movement, or ageing waterproofing membranes—especially at vulnerable points like corners, penetrations, and base transitions. Daily use and humidity slowly contribute to leaks.
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 involves replacing worn or damaged grout between tiles, while resealing replaces failed silicone at joints and edges. Waterproofing repairs deal with failures in the underlying membrane protecting the structure. The correct approach depends on the leak path and what’s happening 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.
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 enquiries may be available where possible, depending on the type of work and scheduling. Some repair steps still require proper cure time, so we’ll be upfront 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.)
