What’s included in fixing a leaking shower
Most shower leaks aren’t caused by a single defect. Instead, water commonly escapes through a combination of failed grout, deteriorated silicone joints, corner movement, penetrations, or transitions at the shower base, then spreads to where damage is most likely.
What your Mount Pritchard service usually includes:
If the inspection points towards membrane failure or a renovation-stage fault, a wider scope of work may be needed. See how this is addressed here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

Our step-by-step repair approach
Inspect (Mount Pritchard on-site)
We assess grout, silicone joints, corners, movement, penetrations, and probable failure points, and explain what’s happening in straightforward terms.
Pinpoint the leak pathway
Where needed, we rely on tools including thermal imaging and moisture meters to pinpoint moisture movement and rule out unaffected areas.
Provide a clear, fixed quote upfront
You receive a transparent scope of work and a fixed on-site quote, allowing you to decide in your own time.
Cause-driven repair approach
The solution may be as simple as targeted resealing or regrouting and joint repairs, or as comprehensive as full waterproofing remediation when required.
Testing followed by handover
When required, we pressure test and clearly explain what’s been done, along with care advice to help the repair stand the test of time.

How to avoid recurring shower leak repairs
If you’re evaluating Leaking Shower Repair providers in Mount Pritchard, the biggest long-term saving is getting the repair approach right the first time. 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: The quote should spell out what’s included and excluded, and what the warranty covers (and doesn’t).
Tools used appropriately: Diagnostic tools like thermal imaging and moisture checks are useful when confirming a pathway, not when used 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 work should align with domestic wet-area expectations (AS 3740 / NCC context), especially where waterproofing remediation is involved.

Questions people often ask before booking
In most cases, yes—when grout or sealant failure is the primary issue and the underlying structure hasn’t been compromised. Confirming the leak path is crucial before selecting the repair. If membrane failure or structural damage is involved, tile removal 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—we rely on the inspection to define the scope properly, then provide a fixed quote on-site before starting, ensuring you’re not paying for guesswork.
The most common causes are cracked grout, failing silicone joints, tile movement, and ageing waterproofing membranes, particularly at corners, penetrations, and shower base transitions. Over time, regular use and humidity create small leak paths.
We assess issues with shower heads or taps, while also checking for other sources of water escape—because a leaking fitting is often only part of the issue. If plumbing-only work is required, we’ll be upfront about it.
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.
Bubbling paint, damp smells, mould, or watermarks on the opposite wall are common signs of a hidden leak. Moisture meters and thermal imaging can help pinpoint where moisture is tracking before repairs begin.
Sometimes—same-day availability depends on current bookings and the nature of the repair. Reaching out early improves the chances of urgent inspection or rapid 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.)
