What’s involved in addressing a leaking shower
A leaking shower is almost never caused by just one issue. In most cases, water escapes due to a mix of deteriorated grout, failed silicone, corner movement, penetrations, or shower base transitions, before travelling to where it causes the most damage.
What your Punchbowl service usually includes:
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.

How to avoid ongoing shower leak repairs
If you’re comparing providers for Leaking Shower Repairs in Punchbowl, the biggest “money saver” is choosing the right repair type the first time. Use this checklist:
Diagnosis before prescription: Can they walk you through the leak path and likely cause, rather than jumping straight to a generic reseal?
Clear scope in writing: A clear quote spells out what’s included and excluded, as well as the warranty coverage and limitations.
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”: While tile removal can often be avoided, membrane failure or structural damage may still dictate the scope.
Compliance awareness: Wet-area work must align with domestic wet-area requirements under AS 3740 and the NCC, especially where remediation is involved.

Questions we’re typically asked before booking
Frequently, yes—when grout or sealant failure is the issue and the structure below remains sound. The priority is confirming how water is travelling before deciding on the repair. If membrane failure or deeper damage is found, tile removal or remediation may be necessary.
Many repairs can be handled in one visit, but timing varies based on what’s failed and the curing or drying time involved. Rather than relying on generic timeframes, we confirm after inspection.
Yes—the inspection sets the scope clearly, and you’re given a fixed quote on-site before work starts, rather than paying for assumptions.
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 inspect fitting-related leaks, including shower heads and taps, and also assess whether water is escaping beyond the fitting—because there’s often more going on. If the job is plumbing-only, we’ll advise upfront.
Regrouting replaces failing grout between tiles, resealing renews compromised silicone at joins and edges, and waterproofing repairs fix issues in the underlying membrane. The right option depends on the leak path and the condition behind the tiled surface.
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.
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.)
