What’s involved in a proper leaking shower repair
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 you can generally expect from your Parklea service:
Where the inspection points to membrane failure or a renovation-stage issue, a wider scope may be the better fit. See how this is managed here: Bathroom waterproofing options.

The most common shower leak issues we uncover
Most Parklea shower leaks fall into a few common categories. We’ll determine which applies to your shower and recommend the least disruptive, long-term solution.
Common problems we’re engaged to resolve:
What we aim to change (outcomes):
If the issue is largely due to grout or joint problems, the best results typically include grout repair and regrouting, along with sealing and silicone work.
Our step-by-step repair framework
Inspect (Parklea on-site)
We inspect grout lines, silicone joints, corners, movement, penetrations, and likely failure areas, and explain what’s going on in plain English.
Determine the leak pathway
Where appropriate, we use tools such as thermal imaging and moisture meters to confirm where moisture is travelling—and where it’s not.
Provide a fixed, upfront quote
You receive a transparent scope of work and a fixed on-site quote, allowing you to decide in your own time.
Repair strategy aligned with the cause
Based on the assessment, the solution may involve targeted resealing or regrouting, joint repairs, or a more detailed waterproofing remediation if needed.
Testing and handover
Where appropriate, we pressure test and explain exactly what was done, along with practical care tips to help the repair last.

How to avoid having to repair shower leaks again
When looking at Leaking Shower Repairs in Parklea, the biggest financial advantage comes from choosing the correct repair approach upfront. 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 clearly state inclusions, exclusions, and exactly what the warranty does and doesn’t cover.
Tools used appropriately: Thermal imaging, moisture meters, and pressure testing should be used to verify the leak path, not to upsell work.
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 work should align with domestic wet-area expectations (AS 3740 / NCC context), especially where waterproofing remediation is involved.

Questions we frequently receive 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 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—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.
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 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.
Hidden leaks may show up as bubbling paint, musty odours, mould, or water staining on the other side of the wall. Tools such as moisture meters and thermal imaging help confirm moisture paths before repair work starts.
Sometimes—availability is subject to bookings and the scope of the repair. For urgent situations, early contact gives you the strongest chance of same-day inspection or prompt scheduling.
In some cases, after-hours or urgent enquiries can be accommodated, depending on the job type and availability. Certain repair steps still require cure time, and we’ll be upfront about any limitations.
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.)
