What’s involved in a proper leaking shower repair
Shower leaks are rarely the result of a single problem. More often, water finds its way out through failing grout, compromised silicone joints, movement at corners, penetrations, or shower base transitions, then spreads to the most vulnerable areas.
What your La Perouse service typically includes:
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 outcomes we aim to achieve:
When grout or joints are the main cause, related services such as grout repair and regrouting and sealing and silicone work are often key to the best result.
Our step-by-step repair workflow
Inspect (La Perouse on-site)
We carefully check grout, silicone joints, corners, movement, penetrations, and known failure points, and explain what we’re seeing in clear language.
Diagnose the source and pathway of the leak
Where appropriate, we use tools such as thermal imaging and moisture meters to confirm where moisture is travelling—and where it’s not.
Quote (fixed scope, upfront)
You’re given a clearly defined scope and a fixed quote on-site, so there’s no pressure to decide.
Cause-specific repair
The solution can range from targeted resealing or regrouting and joint repairs through to a more comprehensive waterproofing remediation when required.
Completion testing and handover
If needed, we pressure test and clearly explain the work completed, along with simple care tips to help the repair perform over time.

We’re a Sydney-based team and regularly attend La Perouse and surrounding suburbs. Booking times depend on the day and the scope, but the goal is always the same: inspect promptly, diagnose correctly, then repair with a clear plan. Examples of nearby areas covered (no repeats):

How to prevent future shower leak repairs
If you’re assessing options for Leaking Shower Repairs in La Perouse, the real money saver is selecting the right repair method upfront. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Can they identify and explain the leak pathway and root cause, not simply suggest a standard reseal?
Clear scope in writing: The quote should clearly outline what’s included, what’s excluded, and exactly what the warranty covers—and doesn’t.
Tools used appropriately: Thermal imaging / moisture checks / pressure testing are helpful when they’re used to confirm a pathway—not as a sales prop.
Reality about “no tile removal”: Most leaks can be repaired without tile removal, though membrane failure or structural damage may expand the scope.
Compliance awareness: Wet-area works should meet domestic wet-area expectations under AS 3740 and the NCC, particularly where waterproofing remediation is required.

Questions we’re regularly asked before booking
Yes, often—particularly when the leak is caused by grout or sealant failure and the underlying structure is sound. Identifying the moisture pathway first is critical. If membrane failure or more serious damage is found, tile removal may be necessary.
A single visit is enough for many repairs, but the timeframe depends on the specific failure and any necessary curing or drying time. Timelines are always confirmed after inspection rather than assumed.
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.
Common issues include grout cracking, silicone joint failure, tile movement, and ageing waterproofing membranes, especially at corners, penetrations, and transitions at the shower base. Regular use and humidity slowly open up leak paths.
We can assess shower head and tap leaks, while also checking for other moisture paths, since fittings aren’t always the sole cause. If plumbing-only work is needed, we’ll let you know 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.
Hidden leaks commonly present as bubbling paint, musty odours, mould growth, or water staining on the opposite side of the bathroom wall. Moisture meters and thermal imaging can help confirm moisture pathways before repairs begin.
At times—availability is determined by existing bookings and the scope of the repair. If the issue is urgent, early contact offers the best chance of same-day inspection or fast turnaround.
Urgent or after-hours enquiries may be possible depending on the type of repair and existing bookings. Some steps still need adequate cure time, so we’ll be upfront about realistic timeframes.
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.)
